Send me $5 and I'll make it possible you get it for free when it hits.
Within the next 2 PSN Store updates I'd have to assume. I think they said that the price drop will go along with the Party Pack which comes out the 6th. It'll probably happen in 2 weeks right with the pack since to me, it makes more sense for what they're trying to go for.Dante said:

I'm buying the DLC and have been saving my $10 bucks on the PSN to buy this. I love the changes and my only wish is someday they put in a mode where you can have every stop light be a stunt run, road rage, marked man etc.
I'm sure someday. Thanks EA and Criterion.

They'll never learn to play the game properly and they'll find new things to bitch about. I suspect they'll start in the city and just go block by block restarting events until they win, then complain that the game is repetitive and whine about having to chase down rivals for their cars. "They're just out there in the city somewhere? How am I supposed to find them? This game sucks!"

Well I recently bought the game but I think I'll wait for that patch before I start playing.

Has it been confirmed whether or not the Burnout Store is just an in-game storefront and that said content will be available for purchase through the standard PSN store as well?
I could really go without another KonamiID-esque clusterbork.
(Sure it's EA, but I's prefer all of my downloads linked to my PSN account that I know I'm going to be able to re-download from, if the need arises.)

They showed it in the latest Crash TV Podcast and it seems to go through the PSN store. There is the whole front of it that is the Burnout store part and then when you go to actually buy something it brought up the screen that you would see if you bought something off of the actual PSN store.AnonymousNoob said:

Excellent! I hate the desaturated look in many games today. Especially in racing game where such a look is pointless. Also like the sound of that auto barrel roll. Stunt runs are way harder than any of the other events (unless it's near the airport or quarry), and that is unbalanced.

Yeah. On GAF it seems to be smaller. I'm on it, but I haven't been playing often after the main game.Psychotext said:

No one had an excuse not to buy it before. I don't understand why anyone would wait for the PSN price drop instead of just picking up the retail version for $20 now.
It's more convenient to boot up and get into. I'm a lot more convinced to start up a game if I don't have to get up and put the disc in. It's not a huge deal, and it would take ten seconds to do, but it's just handy. And I like it.rainking187 said:
Plus, you don't have to go out and get off your ass, drive all the way to the store, deal with the stupid employees, trudge through the huge crowds, risk getting your keys locked in the car, having to call the unlocker services, getting hit up by girl scouts and having to buy their cookies while you wait, paying the unlocker when he gets there, and even then you might hit someone in the parking lot and have to pay for the fender bender, then picking up some dinner because you get hungry, spill your egg drop soup all over the inside of your car when carrying out the Chinese you got, then having to drive back all the way home. So much wasted time and money by buying retail.

icechai said:yeah, and this game's online community is really helpful with all the trophies, had my online ones for plat done within a evening of attempting it
Yeah I know, I made a friend while doing the MP trophies, some cat in the UK. Helped me get the wildcat and some of the time challenges, and I helped him get some of the freeburn challenges. Burnout probably has the best MP community I've seen in a game in a long time.
Does anyone know how to get the trophies for doing parties? I looked on the PS Store for DLC but I didn't see any so I'm not sure where to get them from.
A year later and I am hooked once more.
Surprised how many people are still playing this game online too. I had no troubles jumping right into a constant swell of 8-player freeburn lobbies. Even when I happened on a room with 2-3 people, it maxed out to 8 within minutes. (360 version).
Also kudos to the community, the dozens of strangers I played with were all mature and interested in completing challenges. Doing the 'everyone jump over each other' challenge sounded like a total nightmare initially because I figured at least one of these morons would be an uncooperative douche. Amazingly the experience was the opposite and everyone contributed as expected.
My love for this game grew exponentially and I can't believe it took me a whole year to discover how awesome doing these online challenges can be. In fact I can't stand the racing segments in comparison.

not an idiot
Easily one of the best and most mature online audiences I've seen on a console in quite awhile. Funny, you'd think the opposite would be true. But (PSN here) it's a really mature and fun loving community. I still marvel at the online implementation... it quite literally has done something to make it smooth and painless... three presses of the right d-pad and your online in a literally a few seconds. Amazing.

Yeah I don't fully understand how people are having trouble with this. Every other challenge requires everyone to meet up there or end there. You should get it pretty quick just playing online.

I guess the PC version won't have cross-platform multiplayer? I'm kind of wondering how many other people will buy it.
The trailer for the Ultimate Box (watch in HD) has two more tantalizing hints... The in-game store shows content represented by a PCPD shield that wasn't there in CrashTV 21, could it be the rumoured Cops & Robbers mode? It also shows the Hawker Mech (part of the Boost Specials DLC pack, revealed through trophies) for the first time!

You're right, this one really isn't too difficult. It's a bit tougher to earn the trophy for riding 10 miles on a bike in an 8-player game, as you'll frequently see people dropping into and out of the game. You need to get into a game session where all (or at least most) of the players are determined to remain in the game. If they're doing multiplayer challenges, then that's a good sign.

What's the icon next to the shield (4th from left)?
Bleh. Just started playing bikes mode last night on 360. Lame they didn't add achievements for that mode, yet PS3 has trophies for it. Shame too, bikes are pretty fun and handle well. I guess free content does have a downside.
Also, the PS3 trophies look amazingly easier to earn than the 360 achievements, like a lot of the challenges were dumbed down instead of just copy/pasting them over. Weird.
