Yeah, that's a lot for 2 cars.  Especially since in my opinion they don't really offer that much.  The flying car is pretty cool.  The toy cars are certainly interesting.  But being able to switch boost?  Or a car where you can't turn the boost off?  I'm sure everyone has their own opinions of course, but that's very little value added for my tastes.  I always pick a stunt boost unless a challenge requires otherwise.

They're actually fun to use. The one is really fast, fun trying to control it while it's bossting since you can't shut it off. The other one is cool to change the boost modes as you drive. Especially since the boost does not have to be full when you switch to the speed. Although, it does have to be full if you start with it... but easily fixed by switching to one of the others first.

The even higher price just confirms my previosu decision.

Next should be the island, hopefully soon-----ish. Then again, I have plenty of games to play until then (currently plowing my way through Killzone 2).

I've actually cut wayyyyy back on my game playing.  I found I was missing my movie watching time.  But the island will bring me back.

I've cut wayyyy back on my game playing also but not for the same reason.  The Police Academy is kicking my ass (in terms of me being tired as hell).  I've also been missing my movie watching time But it will all be done in about 20 weeks and 2 days   Then hopefully I should at least be able to play some more more.  I hope to get online for a bit though when the island comes out.

Thanks Achim!  I've already seen it and am very much looking forward to it!.  I keep thinking the price should be around $15 since the full game is available for $20, but I expect to see it for at least $20.  Still, I'll gladly pay it and think it's worth it.

I just watched the new podcast.  It's part 1 of 2 (part 2 will be next week).  After watching the video, I've adjusted my threshold.  I'd now pay up to $30 (not happily of course) or maybe just a little more.  Of course I'm still hoping for $15-$20, but it looks fantastic!!!

If this is true.... you'll be very, very, very happy...

The newest Burnout Paradise add-on content, Big Surf Island, has been priced. Official pages of the new add-on went live today, and were quickly pulled down. Luckily, the price was caught, and has been officially revealed.

Big Surf Island will cost you $12.99 (€12.99 in Europe, £9.99 in UK), and if you consider that Big Surf Island is roughly the size of downtown Paradise City, the price is more than reasonable.

Remember, you can check out the trophies for Big Surf Island right here on PlayStation LifeStyle. Also, stay tuned on the site for even more details on Big Surf Island, and the inevitable trophy guide.

Considering what's in the update, that seems indeed like a reasonable price. I'm down for it!

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's 8-9 new cars.  Of course with the exception of the Dust Storm, I believe the rest are just new skins.

As for the price, I saw that else this morning and certainly hope it proves to be true!  $12.99 is much better than I expected.
