Burnout Paradise, rated E10+ by the ESRB and 3+ by PEGI, is currently available worldwide on PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be available for download on PSN.

I find it ironic that while Microsoft is boasting about how downloadble content is the future of the industry and that Sony is the only one actually usng it.

Sony is the only one doing something about it? That's funny because as I recall Micrsoft had Xbox Live up and running a year before the PS3 came out. Microsoft also keeps a steadier stream of games coming on XBox Live than Sony does on PSN. It's funny how you say this in the middle of Summer of Arcade, which is Microsoft's big XBLA marketing push. Five weeks of five of the biggest XBLA releases yet. While Sony lazely puts together a pathetic package of PSOne classics, Microsoft gives gamers the Xbox Originals they actually want to buy. Then again, it's funny that Sony is getting credit for a move done by a third party developer and publisher. Maybe you hadn't heard but Burnout Paradise isn't a Sony game.

 

I think the original poster is focusing more on the fact that the PSN is seeing PS3 game releases such as Warhawk, Socom Confrontation, Siren, Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, GT5:P and now Burnout Paradise.

 

I think it is important to note that these are full retail PS3 games that are available for digital distribution.  Also, Fatal Inertia and Burnout Paradise are 3rd party games that were released as dvd only on the 360.  Siren is a 10 gig game released for download.  (That would be a 2 dvd box set if released on the 360). 

Microsoft should stop talking about digital distribution if they don't have any plans to do it this gen.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
