Criterion wanted cross platform play for Burnout Paradise but Microsoft has already made a statement that they wouldn't allow this.  In their words they'd have to give part of Xbox Live code which would damage the infrastructure.  In an interview, Criterion said Sony would be fine with it but it was Microsoft that wouldn't allow it. 

I tried Googling an article to link a source but I can't find it.  I did find a GAF thread that does mention Criterion and how they said they added a line of code so that they could still have cross platform leaderboards but PS3 and 360 owners won't get matched against each other.  The common response that there is no fee on the PS3 and people being able to play against each other this would hurt Xbox Live's image which is why Microsoft didn't want to include it.

With PS+ becomming mandatory for online play (I believe), is that still valid?
