Burnout Paradise Getting Downloadable PS3 Release

By Aaron Linde, Aug 14, 2008 1:16pm PDT Criterion Games' open-world racer Burnout Paradise (PS3, 360) will hit the PlayStation 3's online PlayStation Network this coming fall as a downloadable title, publisher Electronic Arts announced today.

Priced at $29.99, Burnout Paradise's downloadable incarnation will include all of the features and content available in its Blu-ray retail release, which hit store shelves in January of this year. The game marks the first PlayStation 3 title to make the leap as a downloadable game following a traditional retail release.

Since its debut, Criterion has provided several content updates for the racer. The latest update, codenamed "Cagney," brought three new online game modes upon its release last month. The forthcoming "Davis" update, which will offer motorcycles, dynamic weather and night and day day cycles, was recently delayed to September.

Kinda cool, but I'm worried about how many of these full-fledged retail games I can fit on my PS3's HDD. Siren takes up a whooooooooooole lot of room.

It's almost worth it at that price. Not quite though. Next time they should give us a real crash mode (the only real reason to buy a Burnout game) or a you know... RETRY

That's pretty cool. I'm glad that all PS3s have a hard drive.
Next to the RROD the biggest problem I have with the 360 is that not all of them have a hard drive.

Burnout rocks. I like the way they made getting online so easy with the D-pad. It kept me playing long enough to get a gold paintjob and then some.

Awesome. I was thinking about getting this again (used to have 360 version) to check out all these new updates, but now I will wait for this. It's probably going to come at a bad time though, when I'm spending $200 on Dead Space, RB2, and other crap. >:(
