Yes, does anybody know if it is coming to Steam? I would think so since EA is now on the service.

It's not bad. Just kind of.. Pointless. I played it enough to get the achievements required, then never again.
The only cool part about it for me is when someone activates it during an online game and you see their car bouncing down the road. Always draws a double take from me.

Bought the ps3 version. anyways. are the servers down or something?
Do you have Media Sharing enabled on the PS3? If you're on wireless then that can slow your speeds down a bit.. or at least I know when I used to have it enabled it sucked up a decent amount of my connection. Anyways, if you're going wireless with the PS3 and have that enabled, try disabling it and maybe it'll improve a bit.UraMallas said:

I picked up the PS3 version even though I own the 360 one already. $19.99 is too cheap to pass up (and now I can play with my ps3 friends).

Oh thanks, disabling now.
after 3 hours only 20%.
Yeah, I hunted down some stuff on the internet a while back about getting the PS3 signal up for wireless connections. I'd always get randomly signed out at times and I found out that the Media Sharing can wreck your connection. It definitely helps, it's been all good ever since disabled it.Rapping Granny said:
Hey, I know there's a lot going on in this thread but I recap'd everything 5 posts above yours, though I'll admit I didn't mention the restart which will be included in the Ultimate Box and come to the previous versions of the game via next week's massive free update. Please note that the UB is not coming to PS3/Xbox 360 in the US, just PC... So getting it depends on your location, your desire to buy the Party Pack, your need to free space on your HDD, etc.PatzCU said:

They haven't cut the PSN price yet in Europe, but surely it'll be there next week.

Dammit. I already have BP on disc but I really want to buy the PSN version of the game, instant disc-less gaming would be awesome for Burnout...but I've put 90+ hours into my save for the disc version. Is there any way to use this save file from the disc game on the downloaded PSN version of the game? I don't want to have to re-earn all my cars. 
I don't think the two are compatible, but we got a sneak peek at the Time Savers Pack, which should allow you to buy all cars when it's out...Baron said:Dammit.

I have BP on disc, and can confirm that online is not working as of right now. I tried to try out online this morning, but it wouldn't work. So it's not just the PSN version.
Anyway, the game is awesome. I've had a hell of a time playing it yesterday and early this morning. Freaking awesome.

They aren't, which is both good and bad. Good because it's easier to get the trophies to start all over with a fresh save and bad because you have to start all over with a fresh save.crispyben said:

It's been in for months lol. And to be straight, the BRD release is so good, I would actually recommend owning a hard copy. But an HDD version is great since you have no worries of every loosing the disc or something unfortunate happening.jmdajr said:

Oh god this is so awesome. Ability to start up a huge what used to be a full $60 game right of your HHD is so awesome.
If only Mirror's Edge gets the Burnout treatment.
I am back to racing heaven after 3 weeks with WipeoutHD and it costs me just as much. BEST $40 I ever spent.
so goood.

If ME gets a PSN release, I am there day 1. I have no retail copy of that.Rapping Granny said:
No, not at all. I can play with anyone who has the DL or retail.shpankey said:wait i'm not following. are you guys saying that the PSN version isn't compatible with the disk version? meaning we play on different servers? or am i just misunderstanding [as usual
It's nothing this drastic, just that saves from the BD version of the game cannot be loaded within the PSN version of the game.shpankey said:wait i'm not following. are you guys saying that the PSN version isn't compatible with the disk version? meaning we play on different servers? or am i just misunderstanding [as usual
I went back to it yesterday, unlocked a couple of cars including the Jansen P12 which I love.
I think it looks incredibly badass and kind of retro at the same time.
Also I was happy to finally unlock a new stunt car, since those are nearly the only ones I use for the events.
Driving around with some speed cars is complete bliss but when actually getting into a race you get takedown'd too easily, and with the old school boosting system it's even harder to fight back when being pushed. I think Stunt cars are the perfect compromise.
Also I'm kind of sad that the billboards/smash/superjumps and stuff disappear when you're on a bike.
I've only played online freeburn when the bike pack came out, and I played it a lot, learnt of a lot of places I had never seen and a lot of shortcuts too, so it's a bit weird to take one of them now that I'm back to the cars and see "oh, there was a billboard there ? And that's a Superjump ? But I've been there already thirty times "
Still, awesome game.

I never noticed that, especially the billboards. Now that you mention it, of course...
Crash TV 22 is up, not very interesting (Qore shooting behind-the-scenes), but we get to see that the 1st Street bridge seems to be called Paradise Keys Bridge, and that the new neighborhood is called Paradise Keys (note the plural, more islands to come?) Here is a bit of the map for Big Surf Island (I think)
and another
Oh, and they all but confirm the PCPD pack! (via the yummy katers17)
And all DLC should be out before the end of the summer.

I just got my Burnout license! Now to do the Road Rage events for my Elite before they patch it.
Quick question- on races, it seems like all of the other cars hit the ground rolling whereas I'm starting from 0 mph. Is there some trick to accelerate as fast as the CPU does out of the gate?

Why, oh why don't they make the save games compatible b/w disc + PSN versions? I own the disc and would buy it again in an instant if I didn't have to redo everything in the game to get back up to speed.

I agree completely, I'd be playing Burnout all the time if I knew I didn't have to get up to put the disc in. I might just take the plunge and download it anyway, I've already completed the game to 100% twice (for the trophies). The only thing stopping me are those road rules..... oh the road rules...

I got one trophy with my disc version and the rest of them with the PSN version. They're not separate games in terms of trophies, and I'm sure it will be the same case with the Ultimate Box.
