lol, well know FACT that the drives in the 360 are poorly made, scratched discs and non ejecting drives. The only one being stupid round here is YOU, by not admitting it, but hey we can live with your insecurities of having to post in every thread that says something bad about the 360 somewhere on these forums :o

roll on next Thursday

Some info from the gamespot demo preview,

If you've got a Burnout itch that's badly in need of scratching, we've got some good news. Though the North American and European release dates for Burnout Paradise are still over a month away, on December 13 those of you with a PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360 will be afforded some temporary relief in the form of a demo that supports both solo and online play. We recently had an opportunity to spend several hours with the PS3 version of said demo, and we're pleased to report that it bodes well for the finished game.

The demo gets off the start line with a brief intro movie detailing some of the different areas and neighborhoods that make up Paradise City. Only three areas are available in the demo version: Motor City, Ocean View, and Big Surf Beach. Essentially you only get to drive on and around the city's eastern coastline, and while there's plenty of gameplay to be found there, we'd estimate that the demo area accounts for less than 10 percent of the map that you'll be able to explore early next year.

Stunt runs are quite unlike anything that has appeared in a Burnout game previously, and would perhaps best be compared to the trick score challenges found in skateboarding and snowboarding games. In the demo you'll be tasked with scoring 50,000 points in just two minutes, which was a daunting prospect for us initially. Jumps, spins, and barrel rolls are the stunts that will net you big points on your run, while bonus multipliers can be earned for getting big air and crashing through billboards. Unsurprisingly, lengthy stunt combos are the key to success, and individual tricks are quite easily strung together using low-scoring boosts and drifts.

When you're ready to take the Burnout Paradise demo online you'll find that doing so is as easy as pulling your car over, tapping right on the D pad to pull up an online menu, and then deciding whether you want a public or a friends-only environment. The only online mode available in the demo is "Freeburn Online," which affords you and up to three other drivers the freedom to do whatever you please, while constantly tracking and comparing achievements such as those mentioned above. If you're hosting the session you'll also have the option to initiate challenges for your group, which are cooperative rather than competitive. It's conceivable that the challenges differ depending on how many players there are in the session. Only two of us were playing on this occasion, and we had three quite different challenges to choose from.

Last but not least, we should mention that both versions of the Burnout Paradise demo support the game's "mugshots" feature, so if you and your friends have cameras attached to your consoles, you'll get to see photos of anyone you take down that are snapped immediately after they crash. "Smugshots" (victory shots of yourself that will automatically be sent to opponents you've bested) aren't supported in the demo, but in the finished game you'll get to send them out and receive them regardless of whether or not you and your friends are online at the same time. For example, you might log on and receive a smugshot from a friend of yours who beat one of your high scores the previous night while you were sleeping. We should also mention that while the demo version of Burnout Paradise supports only four players online, that number will be doubled in the finished game

To save people time, based on past experience for ps3 owners, there is a good chance that this will only be on the USA version of Playstation Network. So read the FAQ etc and create an account in advance, rather than whinging next Thurdsday!!!

I have considered setting up a generic account for people to use, but it is so easy to create your own (and some people are so ungrateful anyway) that I have not bothered.

Blimey, that never even occured to me.

The idea of the eyetoy to catch surprised mugshots is bloody brilliant.
But, I wonder how many people it'll catch unawares lol

Ready for bed, or drunk, or whatever, fancy a quick game of Burnout online... could be a lot more than moonies on there!

MY 'source' who works on the game tells me the demo is also on the European PSN on the 13th.

Don't shoot the messenger though if it aint!
 
w00t!! Been waiting for a new Burnout, probably the only game I really miss since selling my 360.

The only thing worrying me about this title are the letters 'E' & 'A' - I swear this is there last chance to prove me wrong on releasing a quality title, otherwise I will never give them any of my hard earned cash ever again.
