Criterion nails pricing for Cops and Robbers DLC

It's evident that Criterion created a large fan following for Burnout Paradise when it started pumping out free downloadable content in order to expand Paradise's world and replayability. Once the free ship had sailed and it was time for the premium content to come in for a landing, however, gamers got skeptical due to high prices for minimal content. With the development team preparing to release its next add-on pack, Cops and Robbers, this Thursday, gamers were hoping for something affordable and cost-effective that would cause them to pull out their wallets and continue to support Criterion.
Thankfully, the Cops and Robbers DLC seems to do just that. The content -- which has been priced at $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99 -- gives gamers not only the addition of a capture the flag inspired online game mode, but also 33 new international police vehicles from around the world. This substantial amount of content for a mere $10 seems to be quite the steal for any gamer and we expect it to rise up the sales charts come Thursday.

so do you just get the police cars or do the police actually chase you?

I will be buying this DLC, for sure. Anyone who thinks Criterion is not going to make this worth $10 should not even be playing this game anyway.

This sound verry need but ,we in europe still can't buy any thing on the psn without a creditcard so i'm afraid that a nother good DLC will pass me by. It's a shame that we have to wait so long and still it's unsertain if we will ever see the day light of the psncard here.

Sony does NOT set the prices. they make suggestions but it's up to the people selling the content to decide. Besides the EU games have been charged more for years why should a few tenths of a pound seem so different now? I do agree that the content is a little expensive. 33 new cars that are just new skins with lights and a few extra polygons? do they even have different handeling? are they all instantly unlocked upon purchase? There are questions but then again if you really think about it we've already paid more for less. The toy cars and the legendary cars, all cost more and didnt even add any new game play. At least with this you do get some gameplay (presumably but online and offline) so it's not entirely a bad thing.
I'll probably still end up buying it, I just wish the cars showed more variation rather than jsut being the same old cars with a new texture and some lights.

10 dollars for a new mode...... ehh.. little too much for me. I would get it if it was $4.99. If their new island they are making is like 10 bux I will get that, that would be worth the 10. Maybe 15 depending on how many new cars and stuff there is
