I completed all the races and events ages ago, but recently after putting my current kickass PC together (it's more of a tap bottom lightly with foot PC actually) I went through my old collection and installed the cream of the crop to start playing them at 1920x1080 and max'd settings where possible.
I've played 4 of the challenges on my LAN with my nephew, and have recently discovered how to activate the showtime mode. I can't believe I got to 86% complete before I found this!
Now that EA had a day of giving this away free, or some people might have bought it from the Steam sale when it had a massive discount I wanted to know who was playing it now, and who is going online with it?
I still have some billboards to get and some of the gates to smash, I have 5 cars left to unlock as well, and loads of showtime scores to beat, plus a few Time Road Rules to beat and then that's it game completed. The only thing I haven't really worked it is how to control the car in Showtime events.

Burnout Paradise turns the Burnout series on its head by moving from closed set tracks to an open world full of events to experience both alone and in a group online.
Are people still playing this, either offline or online?
I think the number of responses to this thread is a good indication of how popular the game is now. 5 reposonses in a month! I am quite close to 100% completion, now just looking at find a hadful of billboard smashes and Super Jumps plus some of the Road Rules and Showtimes events to finish then there would be nothing left.
It would have been nice to try out some of the online group events, the co-op nature of some of these events is a really fun way of getting people to play together.
It's nice to see that this game still attracts people to the forum, 3 months after I started this thread it still attracts posts, it just shows how good the game is.
I have completed nearly all of the SP challenges and sometimes play the party mode with some friends. I think it is the most stunning game I have in terms of both graphics and gameplay.
i played a considerable amount on ps3, but i was just borrowing it and i had to give it back :C
Burnout Paradise is awesome. It was the first game on PS3 that I platinumed back in 2008, and I try to get all the dlc trophies as well whenever they come out. I've sunk many hours into that game. I bought it over PSN instead of retail, so I'm always more inclined to play it for a bit since it's already on my system. But I haven't touched it for quite a while now.
@abdo: In answer to your question about other race modes, I could select race, I could see the arrows to indicate that other options might be available, but I couldn't select any options. For online play I would suggest you play the challenges and involve as many people as you can, it's so much fun.
This free promotion that EA have no knowledge of was highly publicised and I think it was intended to showcase the work by the Burnout Paradise Team as they were the guys behind Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I googled it and found this, plus another here, again on this site and I think it was this site that I used to get the game for my friend.
I'm sure that if you were to provide them with 1 or 2 of the links above something might actually jog their memories, and hopefully they will be able to do more to help you, it sort of sounds like they think you might have a pirate copy and are trying to get rid of you when you contact them.
I also got the PC version via the "selling for £0.00" goof, but I haven't installed the patch for it, largely because it breaks the sound of it. I also have the 360 version, but I don't have Gold, so that's out of the question at the moment.
" @Delusibeta: When you say 'goof' are you saying the EA messed up and didn't actually intend to give this game away and that loads of websites spotted this and pretty much told everyone about it? If that's what you're saying then that would explain EA's denial of such an offer, though some of the websites make it look like EA wanted to give it away for a while as it is explained as a time limited offer. "Precisely. The fact that it seems to be only the UK EA store that was giving the game away suggested to me that it was a mistake. If EA intended to give it away, I'd expect them to have given it away on multiple stores, not just their UK division.
