• Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise is coming for the bargain price of $29.99. How cool is that??? who cares about 360 installs, when you can simply download the full game, including latest patches, play it from the PS3 hdd, for a digital distribution price!!

I would imagine GameStop and the other highstreet retailers who have been ripping people off for years are a bit upset about this, but it's great news for consumers, and sure to be a growing trend, where there are less middlemen and no media distribution costs.

I doubt we will see all game heading this way, as things like MGS4 are simply too big and better suited to Blu-ray, but the smaller games, in particular multi-platform where the HDD-less 360 has to be catered for, PSN digital distribution sounds pretty neat.

Not a bargain/digital price. You can buy a physical copy of the game at any store for $29.99. Thats been the normal price for a little while now.
