I pre-ordered it and got the limited edition for the same as regular.  Unfortunately I need to liberate my soul from Fallout 3 in order to play it though.  I'll try to fit it in this weekend.

Re: the new Prince of Persia
I hear it's rather on the easy side, which isn't a problem for me personally, but the level design is supposedly brilliant, and it's beautiful as hell.  Just wish I had something to run it on.

Re: the new Prince of Persia
PC, PS3, 360.

the whole game is streamlined and platforming is incredibly easy. But for some reason, it's also incredibly fun.

Combat is cool too but needs lots of time before it clicks since it's very different. And when it does...    ...whao!  :)

Re: the new Prince of Persia
Took a very quick break from the radioactive wastes, and yes its very pretty.  I'm not particularly miffed about the no dying thing, since basically all it does is remove me from reloading the last save.  As Vidmaster said the combats a bit different, I need to get into the flow of it since its not just a rabid button masher. 

I really need to work on getting the timing down, but other then that it looks promising.

Re: the new Prince of Persia
I also don't get what people are complaining with the NO-DYING. It's just a checkpoint system that keeps you in the action (although it's a very forgiving checkpoint system, since it saves on every save plattform).

Re: the new Prince of Persia
Read on Escapist that PoP was released to PC without any DRM so all the people who complained about Spore and used DRM for some excuse to pirate are fresh out of excuses with this game.
