Fanswag: Unlock Time Trial in Mirror's Edge demo [update]

Update: All the Time Trial codes have been awarded and emails have been sent notifying the winners. Thanks for entering!
With today's XBLM release of the Mirror's Edge demo we've been hearing generally positive impressions from fanboys across the globe. Though, along with the praise, we've also been hearing a fair amount of whining in regards to the demo's Time Trial mode thanks to it kinda being unplayable. See, the crew over at EA locked the Mirror's Edge demo's Time Trial mode, making it available only to those who pre-ordered the game and received a code to unlock it. Tricky EA ... tricky.

If I win, give away my code, I dont want it. Time trials dont interest me in any game.
luke valentine @ Oct 31st 2008 7:53PM
boots with Acme (tm) rockets strapped to them. Not only for scaling walls and jumping large gaps, but remember all those times you've been larking about at the top of a sky scraper, and a passing road runner has proved just to whiley to chase down?
not anymore. meep meep!
Mokano40 @ Oct 31st 2008 7:56PM

Three words:
Pink Flourescent Jellies.
Nothing says "I need to help deliver top secret documents whilst doing Parkour," better than a $1 pair of shoes. Besides, the economy is bad.
Al2x @ Oct 31st 2008 7:59PM
I'd be wearing Jordans. I think the fact that you need a code to unlock half of a demo is ridiculous, at least give us another separate demo or beta if we pre-order.
frankstudent @ Oct 31st 2008 8:00PM
If I were a runner, I would wear the 1985 Air Jordans. The very first ones that came out-The Red and Black ones. What else do you need?
Tyrone Rugen @ Oct 31st 2008 8:00PM
I'd wear loafers--former gophers! (It was that or skin my chauffers.)
Pepito @ Oct 31st 2008 8:00PM
I will take the flying shoes of zelda ocarina of time (with feather) !!!
Fire Fawkes @ Oct 31st 2008 8:02PM
I'd go sans footwear, seems like you'd need the flexibility with all the chaotic jumps and turns.
RobLoblaw @ Oct 31st 2008 8:02PM

Artemis @ Oct 31st 2008 8:04PM
Running shoes of some type for sure. You need good traction and ankel turn to make those jumps proper.
