Burnout Paradise: Cops and Robbers is a steal at $10

by Andrew Yoon on Apr 27th 2009 3:30PM

It looks like Criterion has finally figured out how much to charge for its upcoming Cops and Robbers DLC. The multiplayer-only premium DLC for Burnout Paradise will release this Thursday and will cost $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99 / 800

. The expansion not only adds the CTF-inspired online mode, but will also add 33 new international police cars to your Junkyard.

At $10, Cops and Robbers looks to be a much better value than all of Criterion's previously released DLC. The price is (finally) right -- let's hope the trend continues for the upcoming Big Surf Island.

I can't wait for this. I got my Elite license about a month ago, and haven't touched the game since. The normal online just doesn't do it for me.

I only got this game about 2 months ago and am just a few roads ruled from 100% everything (and I only used a faq once to find the jumps. Quite proud of that).

This will be the first purchase I'll be making on my 360 as well. Love this game!

Not impressed.

For $10 I can get the Orange Box. Which has, like, 5 games.

Your grasp on logic is impeccable.

Though I love the Orange Box, I will say the value of purchasing it has been greatly undervalued!

The Orange Box and Burnout Paradise are completely different games. Burnout Paradise is a great game and this addon will make it much better.

Now if only you could race Striders in City 17, that would be a heck of an add on!

Not anymore, the $10 orange box deal was only for the weekend.

I like the Wendy's Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, actually.

Why make it an either/or situation? They're both good values, so you can play both and be happy.

Latin_Trident, you can race watermelons with Half-Life 2. I think that's just as good.

If only every game was supported by the devs like this. This is a must buy!!!

800 Points is £6.80 for those wondering, so I'm guessing the £7.99 price is for PS3, wonder why its more expensive on PS3.

And good point about Orange Box, I got it this past weekend for £5.66 off Steam, and when you compare it to XBLM's prices...wow

$10 bucks for cars that are already in the game just repainted? Yeah its a cool mode but damn. These DLC prices are starting to get out of hand. Ok i'm saying all this and I'll end up still buying it lol!

Dang forgot the Killzone 2: Steel and Titanium Pack comes out this week also. Burnout may have to get the back burner this week.

Isn't it a new gametype?

this should of been free

Oh yeah, and why don't they just give you the game for free; buy your PS3 for you and make your mortgage and car payments while they're at it. Grow up. It costs money to produce/develop games.

They already released a whole extra free game with the bikes addition, to say nothing of the huge amount of post-release support, including new multiplayer modes and graphical overhauls far beyond normal patches.

Yeah, I passed on the overpriced retro cars and the like, but I'd say this is a fair price for the cops add-on, and a way of saying thanks for over a year of great post-release support.

I think this is over priced, just because they released some challenges and bikes for free doesn't mean they should be charging this much for a game mode which sounds just like Marked Man which is already in the game....plus the "new 33 cars" is just current cars with police skins added on, they are not new cars. This DLC should have been $4 just like the overpriced Party Mode should have been free and put in the game in the first place($10 for split screen multiplayer? lame!) and what about the toy motorcycle being 240 points when all the other toy cars are 160 each, I think all the toy cars should have been priced the same and should have been 100 points each since the much bigger and better Legendary Cars were 160 each(except the Delorean which should've been priced the same as well)

I am not looking forward to the price on Big Surf Island and just because they released bikes and challenges for free does not make it okay to over charge for this stuff.

It's not like marked man.

Um, it's not like marked man. Marked man is called "marked man". This is basically a copy of "Calling All Cars", which is essentially capture the flag.

So no, it's not marked man.

My Dear sir,

Party mode doesn't even have SPLITSCREEN T-T

Great value, but my backlog is still too deep for a return trip to Paradise City. I have to polish off Fallout 3 and Okami first.

No offline mode.....
No thanks for now. Just wanted to crash some cop cars.

I watched the Crash FM podcast this morning and the artist mentioned that you can actually use any of the cars in offline modes. It's just that the Cops and Robbers mode itself is online only, which makes sense.

Ten dollars isn't bad, i can probably find that in my couch.

That must be some expensive couch!

lol thats the best part about having parties, ppl lose money in your couch and you get free Add on Packs for games

I will get this. No doubt about it.

Can't wait for this mode. I absolutely love Burnout Paradise and if anyone who posts on this story doesn't love Burnout Paradise I say you have to find a better use for your time. Go do some volunteer work or something

Indeed, I feel like they're trying to steal me.

How is this a steal? Not impressed. I was expecting it to be no more than £6.29.

I've bought all the other packs and that thinking the Boost Specials (£3.99) was rip off for me as I've used the cars 2 times since I bought them. This pack should be priced at £6.29 for the UK not £7.99.

Once again how the bloody hell is $10 equivalent to £7.99 Stupid UK PSN Prices really ticking me off. Ah well i'll be a sucker and pay for it at the price anyways.

Maybe if the new Killzone 2 map pack wasnt coming this week as well, I'd consider buying this. Now Ill have to think about it (I dont consider 10 bucks a steal either).

I'm gonna pass on this, a little cheaper and I'd have gone for it. I'm sick of waiting for the damn island expansion, I would rather have a full sequel with an entire new city, not a bunch of new paint jobs and an expansion that's only the size of downtown.

I wouldn't spend a dime on this crap and neither should anyone. When they start charging for sidequest in games like Oblivion remember you made it that way.

Too expensive. It's like they are overcharging now (between this, the toy cars, and the party mode) to make up for having free stuff before. This is a 5 dollar add-on at best.

Not to mention a miniscule percentage of Burnout Paradise owners will buy this, so it's not exactly going to be simple to get online games in this mode going, especially for the first few weeks.

Why are so many people complaining?

I find 800 points to be not as bad as the party mode one (now THAT was overpriced.). In fact in the recent slew of stupid/worthless add ons ( READ --> HAWX) I find al least this makes SOME sense.

Hoever with tat being said i'll probably not get this.....unless i find money in my couch like some guy above did.

I picked up this game at Target for $20 the other day. I have yet to touch it, but it looks like when I finally get to it I'll be busy for quite a while!

is there a volvo police car in the game? that would be hot. i always wanted one painted like that for Forza2

big surf was announced along ass time ago and its still not out yet, wtf is the hold up.

also, yey for police chases ;)

So can u buy the cops and robbers thing off the playstation network? Cuz i just got burnout paradise today and i just heard about it now.

What the heck do in it anyway? Police chases would be fun but is that all u get to do?

If u can get it off the network i'll probably get it cuz 33 new cars is pretty good fer 10 bucks

WHERE THE HECK IS THIS FRIGGIN PODCAST! ITS NOT YOUTUBE!
