I still don't understand why people go for the whole originals thing...I mean you can get some of these games for practically free at the stores...
also...anyone else having problems with 360fanboy loading?

Don't forget that playing Xbox Originals and/or Backwards-compatible Xbox games leave behind ugly 0 of 0 achievements, 0 gamerscore entries on your gamercard.
If you care about that kind of thing, avoid them, or play them on throwaway Silver accounts.

Because this is widely regarded as the best Burnout game to be made so far and from what I've tried of Paradise I don't think that's going to change.

I wonder how well these "originals" are selling.
I don't think I will be getting any of these because you can get them instore for cheaper and no achievos.

I would also be interested in the numbers. I am not picking any of these up for those reasons as well. Now, if they had some achievements then I would be all over it.

This game is at my local GS for 3 bucks. The last Burnout released on the 360 sells for 14.99 new, why the hell would anyone buy this? Its not even worth the almost 2 and a half Gig it'll cost to store it.

I am only buying games that I think were good but did no sell a whole lot, to support the developers.
Games like Psychonauts and Indigo Prophecy.
BTW, this is the beginning of the digital download era. Prediciton: Xbox 720 games will be available as digital downloads as well as boxed copies on release day.

in the defense of this xbox originals thing, I was sooo close to picking one up the other day. I went to the gamespot to see if they had FABLE or Psychonauts and they did not. score one for xbox originals. But, they will HURT my 20 gig hard drive and the lack of achievements will hurt my morale. (minus one for xbo's).
prediction -
spring update will see the removal of xbox originals.
maybe fall.

I'd rather take that money and put it toward the new Burnout paradise. That game is so damn sweet. I dont even like race games but if i was to get one I'll get paradise thats for sure over some game I can go to gamestop and get for like 3 bucks.

Xbox originals was a great idea, now if they would lower their prices, AND add achivements. They made a fortune off these games the first time, why not let 'em go cheaper now, if they would offer them at say 400-500 points I'd buy. I think they would make more money if they were cheaper.

I never thought paradise could be so, boring...........
Revenge was the best in the series I think, because it got me started on playing racing, demolition games.(again)
Demolition derby on the N64 got me started the first time.

well, N64 games are 10 whole dollars, so a generation up for 5$ isn't so bad, we xbox guys aren't used to being jipped by 10 year old games (nothing new) for 10-12 dollars, (sin and punishment is 12$)

Definitely a great game and worth the price. The only problem is that I only have a 20gig drive. I don't have room... but everyone who hasn't already, should pick this game up in some form.
