Burnout Paradise's 'Cagney' update delayed on Xbox 360 until July 24
Step right this way 360 owners, past the bearded woman, under the tent flap and into "Bizarro World!" In this world, 360 versions of things are always delayed, while PS3 players get to enjoy them first. Look, over there! That's a PS3 owner enjoying the new Burnout Paradise update "Cagney" today, and you've got to wait for it! And not just a few days like we originally thought! No, Criterion's now saying you're going to be waiting until at least July 24! The terror!
And look, over there, it's ... actually, that's the only exhibit we've got, sorry folks. Drive safely don't forget that your ticket stubs are good for 50 percent off at Pizza In a Cup.

As for PS3 getting the update first, it doesn't mean crap if it doesn't include the trophies. :\

Click on the link that says 'we originally thought.' Originally, the delay was only 4 days, until the 14th. Now its a full two weeks difference.

From what I've heard, this game is a good example of how well both consoles can support the same game, however. I'm guessing the delay has much less to do with the facility of their programmers with the 360 or the power of the 360 and just a lack of manpower applied to the patch. My guess is that QA is the bottleneck and could only test one at a time... PS3 happened to be first in line, so it was the 360 that was delayed. Just a guess, of course, but I've seen it often enough.
That sucks, 360 guys. A huge, free update to an already popular game getting delayed... well, as my girlfriend always says - it happens to everyone once in a while. ;) Probably just some last minute bugs holding things up... annoying, but what can you do? A 2 week delay isn't the end of the world, believe me, we PS3 guys can relate :)

I think this is one of those rare multiplatform games that is actually much better on the PS3. This, and UT3, that's all I can think of.
You seem to assume these bugs were present in the PS3 version too. I assure you that assuming stuff like that is a good way to just look foolish.
I think perhaps it's most likely you're a fanboy who doesn't even know what happened and you're making up the most favorable scenario for your viewpoint.
Both companies have let through some bad code in the past, let's not throw stones here.
