Weighing in at a modest 35 Mb the latest update - v1.5 – is now available to download. Simply fire up Burnout Paradise and you will be prompted to grab the update.
This patch brings with it trophy support, details of which in the full article.
UPDATE: We had thought the trophies would be retroactive. This however is NOT the case. This from Criterion:
Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you’re familiar with PS3 trophies already, you’ll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release.
…which is a bit of a kick in the teeth if you are a Burnout veteran with hundreds of race miles under your belt. Is it worth starting all over again just for the trophies? I`m not so sure

This Thursday – 25th September - sees the arrival of Burnout Paradise as a downloadable title. Buying the game gets you all the original Burnout Paradise disk content. If you missed it, that’s all 5 neighborhoods in the Paradise City open world filled with hundreds of Road Rage, Stunt Run, Marked Man and Burning Route events. Every street in the city features a Road Rules record time and Showtime score to beat. Take it online, and you’ll witness the seamless arrival of up to 7 friends. Collaborate with them to beat 350 Freeburn Challenges – simple challenges taking you all over Paradise City.
Once downloaded you will be prompted to download all the extra content including last week`s inclusion of motorcycles.Criterion also state that a patch delivering PS3 Trophy Support will be released imminently and included for free.
EU pricing has so far not been announced. In the US it will be $29.99 so a guess would put it around the £15 mark here. Great value for money in our opinion.
