PS3 Trophies are not locked to the cap of 50 trophies, unlike the 360 version. Also, before the introduction of trophies, Burnout on PS3 had their own system of in game trophies (still does?), which is why it seems like there is more.Brandon F said:
From the way they've added trophies on the 360 version (Including the party pack only brings it to 1050 points), there's probably going to be more updates, right up until it fills up to 1250 (MS's own imposed limit on available points per game).

That's the nice thing about PDLC. Don't like it? Don't buy it. I know I most likely won't for the party pack.Haeleos said:
Unless you really want those trophies. :lol
AlphaTwo00 said:
PS3 awards are still there. The main reason why the 360 version is harder is because the achievements are directly tied to the awards. So when you get an award you get an achievement. PS3 on the other hand, is definitely easier in the trophies side, but the awards still require some heavy commitment.
And also I guess MS doesn't like companies giving away DLC achievements for free. So i'm assuming the last 200 points would be tied to all the car packs and the island (which are paid).
It's the Burnout Time Savers Pack (aka the NFS/EA pack):AlphaTwo00 said:

That's because the Trophy patch came very late in the life's game and wasn't retroactive, so easier Trophies meant more incentive to restart the game from scratch, because you can get most of them in around 10 hours.Brandon F said:

Not true.Returners said:
The original in game awards for PS3 had 60+. There was one for every class you went up in game. This wasn't in the 360 version. When the trophies patch went through, they added more and different ones than the 360 version.
Achievements, according to MS, can be given away for free, if the developers desired. Bioshock gave away the first 100 in an update, IIRC. The only requirement is that the base 1000 points must be available to all as part of disk (or free updates).
I bought the game in September, so I could not say, but here's what I found: 60 PS3 Awards vs. 50 Xbox 360 Achievements (from Nov. 11, 2007)AlphaTwo00 said:

EA is bleeding money. It was bound to happen.Returners said:Bam, right on the money. But but.... even Criterion?

Which will allow a lot of us to rack up the Mugshot achievement faster.crispyben said:

I'm only 10 wins away from my Burnout License!
Question: For showtimes, is it better to use stunt or aggression class, or will any car perform pretty much the same as any other?

I'd assume aggression cars might be better, but I did it all with Hawker Solo.Negatronic said:I'm only 10 wins away from my Burnout License!

The bigger the car, the better it works. And, finding a way to chain the buses will be the most important.
I found it way easier to do with an aggression car, they seem to have more boost than the other classes so that helps.Negatronic said:I'm only 10 wins away from my Burnout License!

crispyben said: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!

Very different games, as BP is an arcade racer and GRID is a sim. I would choose BP anytime though.

GRID is a...sim?
have you even played GRID?

I played the demo and I didn't like it
I guess it's arcade-y to some extent like Dirt, but it had some realistic components I'm not interested in, so I guess I labeled it as sim-ish to myself.

I believe it was 3.2 GB but the game installed is like 3.4 GB. The February 5 update is likely to make it bigger.

the download doesn't include any of the previous updates so that increases the file size. though I was wondering if the "OG" download has a spot to input sponsor codes since Criterion supposedly removed that feature in one of the updates, 1.5 I think.

Are you sure? I remember seeing this in the pause menu just yesterday, and I have all of the updates. (Not that I know that's there's been any use for it.)bune duggy said:

I know it's not there in the PSN version because I tried to input a Steel Wheels code. I haven't played my disc version since then so it might still be there.

Probably gonna go and buy this for 360 if they have it used at Gamestop. There's a 20% off used game coupon this week + 10% off with edge card probably brings it down to like $12 or $13 [didn't do the math]. Someone was nice enough to game share this game with me on PSN but I haven't played too much and almost everyone I know does their gaming on 360, unfortunately.

I thought the dlc was free. If not I will buy it when it is available.
whoa...cops and robbers?
I got disconnected from this game like 5 months ago and I'm planning to start playing it again and I found is gonna be already another awesome update?
I'm glad I spent 65 on this game, all that money pales in comparation with other developers support after the game is launched. Criterion deserves it.
Oh, if anywant wants to hook me up on PSN to do some challenges or freeburns: itxaka

All GCC (Game-Changing Content) released throughout 2008 is free: Cagney Pack (2 new cars, 3 new online modes, 70 new challenges), Bikes Pack (4 bikes, 70 new challenges, 2 new licences, I don't know how many events), day/night cycle, weather... This is downloaded to your console when your first boot the game or will be available in the Ultimate Box. The UB also contains the Party Pack, the first in a series of paid DLC: Party Pack, Toy Cars, Boost Specials, Legendary Cars, Big Surf Island, mystery PCPD pack... To prepare for all this, a free update (including the restart option) will be available next Thursday and in the Ultimate Box.blackMamba1187 said:
Is that clearer?
This is a rumor for now, and the update is next week. Welcome backitxaka said:
I'm thrilled to see so many people picking up this game a year later. To all new players, do yourselves a favor and try not to use the upcoming" retry" option too much, or only late in the game, you'll get to know Paradise City much more easily and quickly if you drive back to your starting point. Otherwise, how are you going to find the hidden shortcuts/smashes/billboards?
Strike said:
Same here, I need an arcade racer. I have Forza 2, but I just don't think I have as much fun with sims. Also, it seems like BP is just a more complete package than MC:LA.
So for Strike and I; should we wait for the Ultimate Box or just pull the trigger on the $20 current box? Is the update with the 'restart' option going to be available to all for free?

I am definitely amazed at how this game has been getting media attention and talked about so much for now a full year. Their free DLC really made them one of the most talked about games of the year.
I was a big fan of the first few Burnouts but then they started wearing thin. I tried the demo when it came out but wasn't blown away by it so kind of let it be at first. After all the talk though, and the low price point, I ended up picking it up in September and loved it. The most fun I have is just driving around and looking for all the secret passages and all the billboards, it's addictive trying to find them all.
Definitely a worthy purchase for anyone like me who was getting a bit tired of the series.

wow, another awesome update.
i cant believe they actually put in RESTART. thats pretty cool. now everyone can stop bitching. ill try to avoid using it for the most part until i get up to the later events if i feel i need it.
im going to buy that DLC too. i dont feel like i paid enough for this game buying it at $20 a few months back.
Criterion is awesome.

I wonder when the PC trial will be out. I have the game pre ordered but want to make sure it runs ok and is a decent port first.

In the X360 version, it was pressing the top bumper buttons together at the same time. For PS3, I'm assuming it's L1+R1.

Very different games. GRID is a traditional racer, Burnout Paradise is more of an arcadey free roaming/stunt game. I had more mileage out of Burnout Paradise.
