Burnout Paradise – full game OUT THIS THURSDAY on the PlayStation Store

We announced a few weeks back that you’d soon be able to buy Burnout Paradise on the PlayStation Store.

We’re now able to confirm that this will be released on this coming Thursday (25th September).
Buying the game gets you all the original Burnout Paradise disk content.

Every street in the city features a Road Rules record time and Showtime score to beat. Take it online, and you’ll witness the seamless arrival of up to 7 friends. Collaborate with them to beat 350 Freeburn Challenges – simple challenges taking you all over Paradise City.
