I would get this if I could "add funds" to my "PSN Wallet" from my credit card, but alas it seems that isn't possible at the moment. Fucking stupid system.
I went ahead and jumped on this for that price. I am not the biggest racing game fan, but I do enjoy the genre from time to time when the mood takes me and this game feels like it was made for someone like me. You can just ride around and blow off some steam and do events at your leisure or go online. Very addictive so far and is a nice change of pace for sure.

Ooh, tempting.
This or wait for Journey (when it comes out)
Also, sorry if it's been answered already, but I got Burnout from the EU store thanks to PS+, if I get this from the US store, I have to download it again right?
I know the saves will not work and that it will use the same set of trophies.

trimon said:But my PS3 bricked what do I do
1. Buy $10 PSN Card
2. Find someone you trust with your info for your account, if not I can help /devious, just kidding lol
3. Give code to said person, get them to show proof by pictures or if friend buddy, trust
4. Person logs in buys Game package, puts it in your DL list
5. Deactivates account
6. ????????
7. Profit! when you get back your dead PS3 or if you buy a new one, tada you have it in your list
Maybe not my favorite game ever, but the one I spent the most time playing (102% and too many hours online) and discussing (biggest poster by far in the OT even though I only got a PS3 and the game in September '08). If I had the time and the HDD space, I'd do it all over again, that's how fun it was. I even convinced my brother to buy a PS3 just for this game! Man, the wait for Big Surf Island info was torture... but to finally drive through these tollbooths was awesome

I already have this for 360 and have 140 hours logged into it (although I haven't played in a few years). Am I still banned?
EDIT: Oh god I thank this thread for making me play this again. Popped it in the 360 and downloaded Big Surf Island. I love this game.

Bought a PSN card today specifically to buy this, only to find out that the sale is over. Now I feel like a retard. How long do these sales typically last? I had been under the impression that it was for a week.

I searched for Burnout Paradise under "Games", and it was listed for $19.99. Is the discount only available under the Special Offers tab?Fuzzy said:
Dunno why I bought this, not really into racing games. Thought it'd be a good buy even at that price but I don't see myself playing it anymore in preference to some of the other games I have access to.
No local multiplier sets the nail in the coffin, most probably going to be untouched for a very very long time.

The main catalysts for my interest in the game are threefold: one, it's one of Suda 51's favoite games, and Suda 51 is one of my favorite designers, so if he praises a game to high heaven I'll probably check it out; two, I tried a demo of the game last summer in France, and it was - more specifically, crashing my car was - a hell of a lot of fun; and three, I've been thinking lately that games might be making us excessively goal-oriented, focusing on the destination to the exclusion of the journey, and I heard that Burnout Paradise, while it does have objectives, is just as much about driving around the city, taking in the scenery, crashing your car, and doing whatever fun thing there is around you to do. So in the interest of supporting games that encourage aimlessness, I used the PSN card I bought to purchase this and Noby Noby Boy. Impressions forthcoming.

There's a separate $7.99 package that's a bit harder to find
Replicant said:
Yeah I'm over it. Restarting as I type this. It's a great game and I just throw it on to chill out with custom soundttacks so whatever.
I assume the DLC will work with my disc version though?
When I get far enough in the digital version I'm going to pass the disc version along to my dad which was my original intention anyway.

It's been a week and I still can't buy this from PSN, hahaha. PSN is a goddamn joke.

Just a note, this is still on sale for $8. Bought it today. Came with 1GB of updates after the fact (!) All the other DLC has jumped back to regular price, however.

Man, I wish this had proper wheel support. Hopefully the next iteration will.

Snagged this and it's pretty rad. Bummed I missed the sale on Big Surf Island though.

If anyone is working on that timed challenge trophy feel free to ad me. I was almost done with it when my save got corrupted and I lost ALL my progress in the game. Half the people online seemed to be un-cooperative jerks who are too busy smashing into each other or just getting lost somewhere on the other side of the map.

I guess I got the DLC half-price? I saw that Big Surf Island was around $2.99 when the sale started. By the time I bought it the price was hiked to $4.99 but it's still better than the original price which is about $11, if I'm not wrong.
Question though:
My original Burnout save files is the European PS+ free game. What will happen if I play the US one after the Euro version expire? Will my trophy disappear? And will the new save file just exist co-currently with the old one?

Your trophies are fine, but different countries save files aren't compatible with the US ver, so you'll lose all your stats and car unlocks. I got most of my trophies through the free UK PS+ version too, but lost all my progress when I bought the US one on sale. So I'm working on that timed challenge trophy again. The worst part is after a weekend of working on Big Surf Island and some Timed Challenges, my US save file got corrupted and I lost everything AGAIN.
The US save file and the UK file both co-exist on your PS3, but you can only use the US save file with the US game and the UK file with the UK game.

LOVE this game so much. I'm almost done with the on-disc trophies. But, could someone please add me (PSN: CecilMcW00t) so I can send you an invite for the online trophy? You don't even have to accept, but you do have to be in-game so I can send it to you.

Have yet to play a racing game this gen that could top Burnout Paradise, though pure fun factor Hot Pursuit came damn close. Nothing beats random chilling 8 person multiplayer.

oh for the love of
just found out about the 10 Timed Challenges trophy glitch! Spent a good chunk of the day today trying to corral people into co-operating and getting 10 of these things done
turns out if I did any bike challenges before finishing these the trophy doesn't unlock!
Gonna have to back up my save and start a new game, and go through all that "co-op" fun all over again!

Saw the thread title. Was happy.
Realized it's a thread from more than a month ago. Sad..
Or is this deal still active?
Edit: I guess not. What happened to the great deals on PSN anyway. Maybe I don't check often enough, but I hardly see any.
