Dunno about what points cost there, but in America it's only 50 cents higher on PSN than Xbox.

I was hoping for $10, but I'm willing to be slightly overcharged for the awesome.

Why is the UK PSN version roughly £1.50 more expensive than the LIVE version?
beermonkey@tehbias said:
I think that works out to about £8.50 will full retail MS points here, don't see why they couldn't have charged that on PSN too.
Edit:
Any chance of a reminder of what we will be paying for guys?
Again nice to see they have dropped their ridiculous pricing they had for the car DLC.
1,000 M$ is about £8.50 in UK munnies. Thats a much better deal than most of the add on DLC, and I think worth it as I only paid about £8 for the Ultimate box anyway.
Still not got C&R yet - wonder if there will be a bundle offer? Oh and what is the launch date again?
It's actually really good price discrimination. Undercharge for the gameplay essentials that lots of people will want and overcharge for the luxuries like extra cars that only the serious players need.

That Janser P12 (Delorean) is probably the only thing worth it's price in the other DLC.
OMG WOW
I was totally going to shell out 1600 points for the pack without a problem.
Probably confirms what I theorized they might do. Sell overpriced garbage bonus packs to bring money, and then make a fucking deal out of the only pack that matters.
WOOOOOOOOO ! Huge props Criterion/EA.
Exactly my point, it's a very good policy.
The Jansen P12 (though awesome) is free in the original game, I guess you're looking for the flying one, it's the Jansen Special-88 if I'm not mistaken.

I'll hold off calling it a deal until I actually play it.

Kind of off-topic. I was thinking about re-buying this game (well, I originally game-flyed it). Are the motorcycles awesome and worth it?

so its slightly cheaper on 360 than PS3?
that seems rather odd

Not a bad deal considering the single-player alone is probably 8-10 hours of content.

Bikes are a good thrill, but honestly, it's a tad light on single player content. Setting street times, and the 24 day/night tracks are all against the clock.SnakeswithLasers said:
It's good, and if you were to price it, it's a decent size mode like Cops and Robbers, but not game-changing enough if you didn't think the cars were enough.

what's up with the 50 cent apple tax on the ps3 version?
1000 MSP is $12.50

I hope they aren't shafting owners of the PC version.

You are totaly right. Even I wrote Janser instead of Jansen. Anyway, that Jansen 88 special really delivers and it's worth the buy

Don't you mean EA? Criterion is a developer, they don't spend money publishing their games.
As for the extra cents, 12.50 is a weird amount of money by store standards. I guess EA thought they weren't going to charge 12 when they could charge 13.
Dragnet said:Yup. Sony have a fee for every piece of content downloaded on PSN that developer/publishers must pay. Criterion need to soften that blow as much as possible.
Anyway, complaining about 50 cents is pathetic. Will buy
Wasn't the rumored amount 16 cents for every Gigabyte, if we assumed that the island is 1 GB (which I think it will be much smaller) then they should have charged 12.65 rather than 12.99, anyways I don't really care I'm just saying.

Will buy in August when the game is one of the first Full 360 game downloads on the service.
If it isn't, I will not be a happy gamer.
(on the leaked image of Full 360 Game dashboard you can see the edge of Burnout Paradise's box art, this is not an unreasonable demand)

I assume the download through the Playstation Store will be a key download, just like all other Burnout downloads. They'll have you download a patch this week that contains the isand but you won't gain access to it until you purchase the key. The Playstation Store download (the on that Sony charges the Dev a per GB rate on) should be a few hundred KB of information. The patch (for which Sony doesn't charge anything) will be the big download.
