Do they really bother you that much? I can honestly say that not once have I ever noticed or have been bothered by ads around the city. I remember right at launch getting a chuckle out of all the CompUSA ads because of their recent closing but otherwise I don't notice those things.Victrix said:Can I pay $10 for DLC that permanently removes the ads?

speaking of the ads ...
I just noticed something, I've been playing the PS3 version mostly since the Cagney update, since the 360's wasn't up till recently. Since its been updated too, I've been playing that version as well. Some of the billboards on the PS3 have the Crash FM "advert" (they have been there like that since day one) , now on the 360, those same billboards that were the Crash FM ones are now adverts for subway. This makes me think, are they now using dynamic advertising in the game? If they are this could explain why the bikes are free (I thought at one time they were going to be paid DLC) any thoughts?

who is Emo-Beas?
The subway ads were there before the update. Im pretty sure the Ads change weekly, I just saw some Gillete Fusion vans that were never there for the past week ive played and now all the subway ads are gone for me that were there last week also.
Since its a racing game i feel the ads add to the actual games feel that you are racing in a city.

The Olympus is the strongest vehicle in the game. You can plow through oncoming traffic etc. It's not meant to be a boost / fast car.
Talking about ads. They haven't bothered me at all. After the first week of playing I didn't even notice they were there anymore either. If you're able to read the signs, you aren't going fast enough.

ok so I have 360 and PS3, and basically which version should I get?
1. Do GAFFERS still play online on PS3 or 360?
2.How are the technical issues (I heard the 360 version is patched and equal to the ps3 version now)?
3.How do custom soundtracks work for both version since the Soundtrack only has 2 songs I like (Would? and Rusty Cage).
im guessing with new updates the game gets its still possible for a newcomer to get some online play with it since previous player will return for the new content.

1. Not sure about 'gaffers'. But I still play and there are always half a million games going.
2. Both are the same.
3. Not sure about PS3, but the 360 works like it always has.
Really the only difference between PS3 and 360 are achievements. And trophies are getting added to the PS3 version soon so it's really up to whatever console you like more.

1. Don't know about 360, but whenever there has been an update or new patch for BO
, we've had GAF rooms up for a few nights following in the PS3 version. MP is awesome, set up is nice and easy...2. No technical issues at all, both are smooth as hell.
3. Custom soundtracks on PS3 take two button presses on the mini menu...

Who gives a crap about ads? Do you stop watching TV because there are commercials? In Burnout, they are not jammed down your throat at all and makes the city looks "real" to some degree. I don't mind ads like this. Ads that are in natural places do not bother me. Now showing an entire commercial in the middle of a game, that would bother me.

Howdy! I'm part of the 'pile in at $30!!!!' crowd. Huge fan of 3 and Revenge, and I have to say that Paradise feels very much like an evolved Burnout game. From what little I've seen so far, I simply don't get the whole 'the open world has ruined this series' mentality. Not to mention that the whole game is just a pretty stunning technical achievement. Woot!
egocrata said:Did my part, got it for PS3 at BB for $30. Any advice for a first-time Burnout driver?
Aggression cars are your best bet throughout most of the single player game. I used them for everything except a few stunt events. Avoid the speed cars.
In online, stunt cars seem to be the most balanced for everything you need to do. Racing and challenges.

The demo did a horrible job of representing what the game is like... one of the rare cases of a demo not giving the right section/taste of gameplay that turns people off to a game... If you like racing games, and going fast and awesome crashes, buy it. I've put over 100 hours into this game and the game is still fresh because of all the great additions that Criterion keep adding. Well worth the money.
Unless you plan on making some awesome machinima with that Arbiter, its an epic fail.
I gotta agree with h3ro, soldat... walking out with an Arbiter figure instead of Paradise (also like he said, unless it's intended to be used for some epic machinima) was an epic fail.
Like he also said and it's been said a million times, the Paradise demo is a poor description of the real game. Maybe when you get a few bucks again you can go pick it up.

You wont need to play Paradise again. What you got till now will be automatically mirrored in your trophies once the game gets patched. It's different from Uncharted as the Paradise save file was linked to the PSN account since the beginning, so it's not possible to cheat the system copying a save file over.

I have all but two of the achievements unlocked and those two are the road rules ones because I can't find the time to care about getting the fastest times or highest crashes on streets in the mountains.
What do you think will be the hardest trophy to get? The hardest one for me was the one where you have to complete a marked man with the F1 car. You don't get the F1 car until really late in the game so you have to finish the mission against 4 (or is it 5?) cars and super aggressive AI. I think it took me 25 minutes of trying and that was on the easiest marked man route.

Got the PS3 version this morning and out in about two hours. Fun stuff. I've mostly been doing Marked Man races first since I someone advised I get those done before the AI gets tougher. It's fun. And trying to takedown cars around the city to get them at the junkyard is sweet. Need to try playing online. Lots of PS3 Burnout players here? PSN name is JPBrowncoat.
The game gets super awesome when you complete your B license, thats when you start getting the cool cars. I found all the smashes today and got rewarded with a fuck awesome car (Carbon GT Concept)
