I'll just quote myself (from the official thread) regarding the Party add-on for Burnout Paradise:

Just bought the party pack, and since it was so late at night, I decided to try it out. Can't really recommend it, since:

1) the interface is pretty cumbersome, even if it's simple. For example, on some speed races, there are occasional checkpoints throughout, but they only show the time you pass by, not any comparison time compared to the best party player. Also, there's no ranking until the end of a round, for good or bad. A better HUD that really pronounces the point difference during the race/activity itself would've been good. These points aren't really major, but the second one is...

2) the complete lack of difficulty or incentive to do extra well in challenges. As an example, one of the challenges I got was to do a barrel roll off the ramp at the beach. The problem is, the car is placed STRAIGHT in front of the ramp, so all you have to do is push down the gas, boost and you'll nail the barrel roll with 100% security. Sure, you can try to get a double barrel roll, but it takes time and with the risk of losing the round, the incentive is pretty bad. Another example of a challenge was to jump off the ramp near the dam. Again you're pretty much placed in front of the ramp, and it's practically impossible to fail this. And afaik, there's no bonus if you try to do anything more extravagant. Generally, the challenges I've tried so far are prett unexiting.

Well, the party pack is good for whoring some extremely easy trophies/achievement points, but from what I've played, it would not be the most fun party mode around.

MLB 08 was my game of the year so I'm pretty stoked for the 09 demo. I must have it - tonight!

8PM-9PM is the new 5PM EST US PSN store update as far as I'm concerned. It's been getting updated at a much later time this past month.

My Killzone demo finished downloading, from Europe, in less than 30 minutes, and I'm in Southern Illinois. I used to be you guys.. but then I switched back to ethernet from wireless, and that made my download speeds increase exponentially.

If the course is ANYTHING like the PSP dino courses, I'd pass. They are just dickishly hard because they can be. Not even remotely fun.
