Criterion announced that a downloadable version of Burnout Paradise is coming to the PSN Store for $29.99. That’s incredible. Really it is. It’ll be the first third party full sized downloadable game.
I may just download this game once it is released on the PSN Store just to use some of that 320 GB hard drive I just installed. Even though I disagreed with game at first, I must give kudos where kudos is due: Criterion really knows how to support their games.
