The PC release of Mirror's Edge is today and retail stores all over should have a few copies appearing on their shelves. All purchasers of the PC version will receive a remixed version of the Mirror's Edge soundtrack featuring the second best Still Alive song ever featured in a video game. In addition, here's a hotfix patch that'll prevent game-ending freezes when PhysX bonus goodies are enabled.

Mirror's Edge is a unique first-person action adventure where players are introduced to Faith, a 'runner' in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of information is closely watched. When Faith's sister gets framed for murder, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law. The PC version of the game uses the NVIDIA PhysX physics engine to bring the world of Mirror's Edge to life with real-world visual effects of wind, weapons impact, and free-motion movements. Gamers can download the free demo available now at the PlayStationStore and Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The demo features a tutorial of the game, a segment of the single-player story mode and sections of the addictive Time Trial mode.

The chaps at DICE also made the announcement today that the DLC is now dated: "Arriving on January 29, the downloadable content for Mirror's Edge will feature 7 new "fun" maps and 9 new races. This content will be released for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 for a price of about $10, or 800MS points."
