    Sounds fun to play this time!!! However, I'd rather wait the UK's PLAY Magazine and PS3 IGN reviews patiently.


    Note: I didn't buy Burnout: Paradise becasue of bad reviews from different sources about its gameplay.

    This is burnout paradise it just has the free dlc on the disc. just so you know if you buy burnout paradise it is the same thing as ultimate box you just don't have to download patches with the ultimate box.

    There's a countdown here with widgets: http://www.BurnoutCountdown.co.nr/

    I'm surprised the minimum requirements for this game are so low. I mean, did they have to do huge optomizations? Since this was originally designed to run on next-gen consoles. Or was this an efficiently running game to begin with?
