    I was hoping for a discounted original game + DLC deal on psn, but if the original psn game drops to $20 then I suppose its good enough. (I can wait another 2 weeks)

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    Holy sweet christ.

    Party mode looks awesome. The new cars look awesome. I now remember why I always thought Burnout was awesome... because it is.

    Adding Burnout PA, 360 players hit me up!

    Picked this up today on PS3. (brand new for $20)
    The update is taking forever to download, is this normal? Usually updates are a lot faster, this one is just ridiculous. I want to play!:x

    there have been a ton of additions since release, including a bunch of new cars and bikes and stuff. its probably a pretty big patch at this point.

    hit me up online if you see me on, ive been playing a bunch of burnout again recently. i lost my old save and im trying to 100% everything again. im coming up on getting the burnout elite license again, and then i just gotta do the harder paradise awards (or whatever theyre called) and the bike shit again. and however much online stuff i get around to. so yea, i'll be on heh.

    On the 360, you can just play it through the Guide like with all games. On PS3 it's there but as I understand it it's a bit more complex.

    Yes, it was always there on the 360 but the PS3 version got the ability through an update. Go to easy drive, it should be the last option, named "soundtrack".

    Awesome, thanks. I don't own it yet, but with all this content, I may just take the plunge on the 360...having the ability to play your own music just makes the decision that much easier.

    Pursuit Mode is coming back

    Perhaps my second favorite mode of old Burnout games (Crash being first) Pursuit Mode will be making an eventual return to Burnout. Sure, we have Road Rage and Marked Man already, but Pursuit was the shit.

    I am really amazed at the amount of support and DLC Criterion has given this game. Good fucking show.

    It's really easy to play your own music on the PS3 version. I think it's faster than playing your own music on the 360.

    I wish the PSN version was that price. (it's still $30). Yes, I already have this on 360 but since my 360 can't play online anymore (doesn't play well with the router) I figured it would be better to get it on PS3 and start all over when the new DLC drops.

    So, I remember playing a Burnout on the PS2 with my brother ages ago and we had tons of fun with a local co-op mode that just put your car perpendicular to a heavily trafficked road and you got points for creating the most destruction. Will I find that kind of fun in this one?

    Haha, I could see Dragonforce making the races really stressful in an escape from New York kind of way. :P

    I would probably end up racing to Van Halen quite a bit.

    kyuss is an acceptable answer. throw in some QOTSA, Slo Burn, Unida, Torche, High On Fire... yea thats a party right there.

    also this game is just as ridiculous and crash happy and over the top as past burnout games, i assure you. its anything but "just a racing game". if you have enjoyed past burnout games theres really no reason not to check out paradise with how cheap it is these days. plus the party pack is coming out soon (next week? i forget) and thats got local multiplayer modes and stuff like that. not simultaneous split screen sadly but its something.
