Hello and welcome

A couple times in the past we have heard - mainly form Alex, during Podcasts - about stupid things about Paradise that are written on forums around the web. And it seems that I've found one of those today on my domestic message board - gram.pl. I was searching for the topic about Paradise and I found some kind of blithering idiot who writes many "interesting" things. Post pretty old (June 2007) For instance:

- There will be Lamborghini Murcielago in Pardise! - WHOA! amazing! I bet Lamborgini actually called Criterion asking would they be so kind, to crash their car in the game.

- He knew the title of the game in January 2006. - Well, he's probably working in EA. Shame that he didn't reveal it any earlier. And that there was a spelling mistake in topic name (Moderator has corrected it)

- We'll be able to crash 15 cars in demo, which was about to be released in september - OH My God, I think that I've lost somewhere 3 months... Well, sure thing - December, September - they're just two names for the same month.

- PS3 joypad is "Sync Acis" (Whatever it means). Seems that I've bought russian version of PS3, beacuse my joypads have got "SIXAXIS" written on them...

Overall score of author of the topic is: FAG.

I understand that to some people the PlayStation Eye may look like Gromit. I understand that some people may speculate what will be in new game. But for Christ's sake, why the hell are they writing it just like it was true? Fortunately, it's not a plague. So far. And I hope this will disappear after the demo. I can only hope.

Take Care!

PS. As usual - sorry for mistakes

PPS. I was struggling with one crash event in Revenge (UNBELIEVEABLE) today. I tried to get perfect with all the "crash" cars. No effects. I picked up my most favourite car - Prototype R175 ST (it was one of last evens of world tour 5, so no R190DX of R205GT versions) and bang! With level 1 crashbreaker onboard I've accomplished the challenge :D

Trust nothing that you read on forums.......... unless of course you know it is from a reliable source like from our beloved Leader' at burnoutaholics, Just wondering about the PS3 man is it any good most people I ask are 360 fan boys so you can guess what they say, and also what is the online like can you realy talk to other people or is that just a myth as in the PS2, Sony have so many good games that will not be released on Xbox, is it woth the hard cash or should I save a little more and get a 42'' TV to go in my little 8'8' game room (wont need any heating then :-) more money to spend on games)

one more point for me

Actually, I had two of them. Right after the world launch I got myself a 360 from Germany (MS Poland started to sell them in my country a YEAR after world launch) and there were artifacts on the screen, like e.g. big black triangle in upper-right corner. Additionally, after about 25 minutes of using the console lines on the screen started to appear and after a couple minutes there was almost nothing but lines displayed. I sent it back and I got new one. This one was working quite good, but there was an issue as well. HDD was overheating (I could fry eggs on it) and whole console was working loud as hell (vacuum cleaner style). I sold it (with my Revenge for 360) and decied to wait for PS3.

And I must say I'm impressed by the work Sony did on PS3. It's amazing. Every single thing I've connected to the console via USB (Logitech G15 Keyboard, MX1000 Laser mouse, Wingman joystick, Nokia E50 mobile phone, pendrives) is working with it. Keyboard + mouse and you can easly browse the Internet. Games look great (MotorStorm, LAIR), movies on Blu-Ray discs are cool too. It opens most of files and has loads of features (PSN is cool). Yeah, you can talk to your friend during online play - you just need a headset. Not a special one, every single one which works with your mobie phone via Bluetooth will also work with PS3. You know, if you have enough money to buy it - do so. I have got cash only for one console and I chose PS3. Thing is that it doesn't really matter which one will you choose - PS3 or Xbox360 - cause both will deliver a lot of entertainment. It's up to you then.

Although PS3 was the lead system for Paradise, I don't think you will be able to tell much difference between Paradise on the 360 to the PS3 version. I'm sticking to the 360 anyway!

That's right. None of my friends will buy Burnout. Still, I hope that Alex Ward and Paul Ross will accept my invitations on PlayStation Network and I'll have them as my friends.
