Burnout Paradise 'Legendary Cars' priced

I am not to keen on this. I know they gave us a year solid of free stuff, but really that was just bikes, everything else game tweeks. Sure, we all knew that 09 was the year they where going to start charging, but these cars were announced AGES AGO (November)... They should be free. If they wanted to charge for the TOY CARS, and the HOT ROD looking thing, sure I'm on board with it. Because those will not be coming out for WHO knows how long. But for something going this far back, it should be a freebie. Blah... Oh well, Im sure a friend will buy them, and Ill just get them with PSN game share thingy.

Explain to me how $8 is 600 MS Points again?

$10 = 800 MS Points = 80 Points / $
$8 = 640 MS Points

Get your math straight, Joystiq!

Oh, and kudos to EA for bringing this pack in under $10. After the Party Pack was overpriced at $10, I fully expected this pack to come in at $10 as well. $8 seems reasonable enough; Day 1 purchase for me.

Normally I would buy this just to show support for a cool company. However, I'm having to think about pinching pennies, and this carpal tunnel BS is slowing my work rate down, so... we'll see. I need to make a bit of a dent in my credit card bill before I start buying cars for a game.

i was really only looking forward to the spirit and getting it for just $2 is nice. i have $4 after getting the gta content so at least my points have a good home ^_^

'll be gettin all of them, DeLorean, it can hover. Ecto1, ghostbuster FTW!!!!!. Kitt was one of the most awesome tv show when i was a kid and General Lee... i'm mexican, and this is supposed to holster a mexican flag instead of a confederate flag (the guys from the south) so yeah, i'll be getting it.

MKan, i love the love this guys have for this game

I funny how EA and Criterion fooled everyone with their "free DLC campaing" last year.. Pfff. Please, who are you fooling? Not me for sure. They got us good early out selling 75% of the game at $60.. (yea $60) The they give us what??? 2 BS cars that can only be used when online???, Day/night and some 3 fucking motor bikes that you fly through the challenges in 1 day.. Or yea and trophies.. (Something that is not even considered as DLC) Now with this illusion, they was to screw us with a $10 pack that lets you pass the controller around :/ and now $4 for 1 car??? Are you serious??

Next thing I'm expecting is for them to sell us the other 25% of the game (Big surf Island) for like the price of what the game cost know? No thanx.. Get crash mode back in here and make races on set course, not this 1 wrong turn and the race is over BS.. Then y'all see my $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

So, will these cars be available right after purchase or will I have to unlock them somehow in game?

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

If these were the actual cars I would be all over this, but ugly ripoffs? Free is the only price that isn't too much.

I don't think anyone should feel compelled to "support" Criterion by buying this DLC with the poor, starving game developers in mind. I feel content knowing that I've supported the firm by having bought the game off the local game store's shelves.

Man, I could live with $1.99 each, but $3.99 is way overpriced. I was only interested in the Delorean and had no intention of buying the others, so the bundle price is not a bargain. I'm going to pass on this, what a disappointment. Bring on the island, not more cars and a party mode.

WOW, why are you people bitching about having to give up a Big Mac combo so buy the pack. And I know some tool is going to try to bring up how the pack isnt EXACTLY the same price of a Big Mac combo but they are roughly the same price. Cant give up one moderately satisfying fast food meal. Thats funny, you fat people are funny

@ Millsanimation: Isnt it funny how the fanboys will vote our comments down but yet we're right on the $$ with what we said? Lol Smoke and mirrors people, smoke and mirrors ...

It feels high, but given the year of free content we've been given, I lean towards overlooking the slightly higher than preferable prices. These are still pretty sweet homages.

I don't know anyone can argue Burnout:Paradise isn't an excellent value.

At $60, you got over 40 hours of gameplay (getting your 100%) and you got an excellent online mode. Then later, you got free motorbikes (another 5 hours of gameplay). And they relit the entire world so they could do night mode. Remember back when the Project Gotham Racing team said they couldn't possibly put day and night for their courses on the same disc? Criterion not only put day and night in for an entire huge city, but they patched it in in a

Jezer are you kidding me? How can you act like your entitled to DLC. I thought the game was awesome when I purchased it. I love tearing up the roads and racing online. When the new content can along it only added to an already great game. But your saying this was all a plot to what? hold back on some of the game in order to offer free download later? Why? what did they gain from that? They released the game with all of the content at the same price a year later. I don't see how that gained them anything.

I can't believe you've decided that the game was incomplete and they did this to what? get paid for content this year? They could have charge us for everyone of those DLCs. They could have held off and created Burnout Paradise 2009 and charge us another $60 for the upgrade like all the sports titles do? Madden 09 should have been DLC to 08. But EA sees some sports fans will shell it out every year. Did you think of that?

If your looking for set courses tough titty!! Its a sandbox game! You have a choice of any direction you want. The game is unique in that you learn the streets like a real street racer. if you know a shortcut or a super jump that will get you ahead of the pack that's the idea. Now they want some petty cash for this years new content. I say petty cause in video games $7.99 is a steal. And what are you talking about bring crash mode back. Its called Showtime mode now. Read the instructions!!!!!

We'll need a speedometer so we know when we hit 88 mph.

I paid 29.99 for the game with all the free dlc. Then I bought the party pack and will buy this bundle as well. What will I be down all told...? $47? For a game I have put over 60 hours into and counting?

Yeah, I think I'm okay with it.

I guess Criterion should have just used all of this free dlc and put it into a new Burnout and charged another $60.

At that price, the DeLorean better come packed with cocaine.

Criterion gave the price in dollars, euro and pounds yesterday before stupid Microsoft Points so why not post the euro and pound price?

it may feell a little pricey, but after all the free stuff we have gotten, the least we can do is support criterion. on the other hand, given all the cool cars we'll be getting with the upcoming pack, and the ultra fast bikes, i think CRTITERION should definitely add a speedometer to the game...i just dont know how fast im going....

@ Why should whatever, no one is complaining about the price, I have daily habits that cost me more than $8.. The most of you young dudes are playing this series for the 1st time and think that its the shit.. When to a hardcore fan like myself, who's played the game the series from the beginning can tell you that I had waaaaay more fun playing Take down and Revenge than this current burnout.. It was way more addictive then what it is now.. This game is cool but nothing competitive about it, its become a hangout spot for you and your friends and only that.. Who can honestly say here that you have fun with this game without your friends as far as online??? You don't, you get a bunch a fools who don't do the challenges and are more interested in taking you down while your trying to set up a game.. Tell me, who races in this game??? Only the cheating fools who put up a map of a straight away and use the F1 racer.. Yea we're really having fun folks..

Like I said Criterion changed this game from being a competitive racer to a game where you just chill with the buds and do stunts..

I just beat the F1 yesterday and I was using the GT Flame. Bottom line is the player still has to run a perfect race to blow you away. I cut through a back way and caught him on a big turn and t-boned him into oblivion and I ran away with the race.

And really, I could just earn the F1 for myself if I'm that upset, or better yet, set up 'Calvary only' races.

Also, you're not a "hardcore fan".

A hardcore fan would at least give credit to a developer that continues to support it's games long after their release whether you personally like the game or not.

Thanx for the advice why not the LS2 but I have all the cars, Im at 102% and have the platium paint job ;).. All Im saying is that Criterion, EA and the media (internet) as done a well job on fooling people with smoke and mirrors, to now nickel and dime us and buy them time before they release the full game this year. Seriously, 2 online cars, 3 motorcycles and day/night.. Thats it.. No new maps, courses or modes..

Do the math
$10 - To pass the controller around
$8 - to just hover and reminisce on the ghostbusters and Knightrider..
$??? - Big surf Island (if their charging you $10 to pass the controller around, I could imagine what their going to charge for their 1st actual, new DLC..)

I'm not griping, but I assumed these cars would be free, considering everything so far has been in BP.

No worries..I'll still buy 'em!

8 bucks seems to much, so I'll just get that hovering car.

At $5, they had my money. Somehow at $8, probably not.

I hope the island is reasonable. I actually want to give them money for all of the support, but the first two DLCs that cost money don't seem worth the money they are asking to me.

People honestly don't see it... of course they gave stuff for free so that we buy these ridiculous DLC of them. I draw my words in about other developers should take an example of Criterion Games, Criterion should take an example from other developers like Naughty Dog... They create a game and start working on a new one instead of ripping us off with cheap contents. As long that extra Island isn't there, they're not gonna get a penny out of me. Already paid full price for the game last year and after a year I have quite enough of the game.
