Bikes Coming to Burnout September 18
Looks like it's time to re-familiarize myself with Paradise City, as the fine folks over at the official PlayStation Blog have announced that motorcycles will be coming to Burnout Paradise on the PlayStation 3 on September 18. In addition to the bikes and the associated Bike License, this update promises 38 new race events, a 24-hour day/night cycle that will affect traffic density and available events, dynamic weather effects, and 70 new Freeburn challenges. Of course, considering the source of the announcement, this doesn't necessarily mean that Xbox 360 owners should also mark this date on their calendar. Considering the roughly three week gap between the roll out of the Cagney update pack on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it's probably safe to assume the same thing will happen this time around.

Thank god I re-bought this game after I traded in my PS3 for my 360.
Just recently finished up on all of the cars. So bring on the bikes!

Criterion's continued support for this game is fantastic.  I go back to this game more than any other I've bought in the last year.

Isn't the PSN downloadable version of the game supposed to come out this month?  I can't remember.

Burnout is the gift that keeps giving. Wish all games I bought had this much replay value.
ShaggyChu on Sept. 12, 2008
I have confirmation from a Criterion team member who I play with on the Xbox 360 (I kid you not, one of them plays on the 360) that the 360 version is indeed coming on the 18th too.

I thought there'd be a bigger gap between announcing the date and the actual update but it's still good to know it's coming so soon. It's gonna be awesome.
