[Get Stoked]

Most of you know already but, here you go:

January 6th isn't official, but it's pretty safe to say it's the 6th or around the 6th.

I told our Youtube Subs. I would make a video letting them know, so I posted it here.

Funny, we have 600 Subs. on our Youtube but less than half as many members here, haha.

[Darkslide]

Well atleast one more of those 600 joined lol...

I'm so hype for skate!

[alphabet]

Where did Jan 6th come from? I hope your right though.

[Get Stoked]

Well, Mirror's Edge, the new EA game, marketed Skate. 2's release as Jan. 2009, so it's for sure in January 2009.

As for why the 6th, almost all of the gaming sites say January 6th now, along with Gamestop and other gaming stores... it just make the most sense. I will be within a few days, if not on the 6th.

[Mac]

Well...

He's just getting a little practice in before the game hits shelves...tomorrow...or in January, if you want to believe the flyer type propaganda we placed in the Mirror's Edge box.
"If you want to believe"
Is that supposed to mean we're not to trust him?

[Get Stoked]

Cuz does that, haha.

It's coming in January for sure.

[Corrine]

I do hope there's not a big delay with the PAL version, like with the Skate. release I think that was about two weeks. If not it certainly felt like that.

[StrabMawr]

seems a little shift is in the air...

[Get Stoked]

Ooo, may have spoken too soon.

Although, EA did say EARLY 2009... 20th wouldn't be early, I guess things change though. May have to upload a new video.

[Demzilla]

dopeness....

[thesignguy]

nice wood trim
quality

[Get Stoked]

Haha thanks!

The wood: This is my girlfriend's parent house, we're staying here (for 2 more days) until our house is finished. Her dad is a contractor and uses a lot of the trees he cuts down for the lot, on the house. Our's has a little less wood on the walls and stuff, but we used whole logs as supports in our Kitchen and for our porch, it's pretty sick, I'll put up some pictures when we're moved in.

[animalhouse13]

im pretty sure it's gonna be the 6th because in one of cuz's blogs he said that the release date was out there and january 6th was the only january date so cross your fingers.

[switchFooTexas]

January 20th is my birthday :]

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Fluck that, I want a date for the demo!

[SonicKaos]

The Mirrors Edge thing just says "IN STORES JANUARY 2009" but nothing about a date or early/late... it's sitting right in front of me.

[Anjo606]

ME WANT DEMO NOW!! at least man if its january give a demo this or next month like how part one released a month after the gracious demo released to our starving 360s

[skater924]

well, now we know the release is probable going to be January. So...we can hope for a demo before then.

[volcomston3d]

Demetri Martin?

[Darkslide]

Ooo, may have spoken too soon.

Early 09 would be January. Thats VERY early in the year. They did not say Early January.

Not being an ass. Just pointing that out.

[Mac]

Early 09 could also be march. So the first date we heard about could might as well be real.

[StrabMawr]

No source though. And I've never heard of the online graphics editor?

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

I was in 'Game' earlier today and they didn't have a release date for Skate 2 but even more surprising they hadn't recieved any Skate It stock for either platforms yet Zavvi did?

[TheClosetMonkey]

Sounds pretty good, but I'm not getting my hopes up about the awesome sounding graphics editor 'till I've heard it from a better source.
