In the Caribbean where you live 99% of people buy a pc capable of running modern games and then BUY pirated games but dont have the sense to pirate themselves? Strange indeed.
I know exactly what your trying to do with the statement you made. Your so full of it i can smell it from here!
The pc community are going to get a better version of one of your precious ps3 games and that bothers you so much that you would say anything.
I know your kind, i`ve met them before.
Is there another reason why you would give a damn about it?
Maybe your just looking out for EAs interests out of good will and want to warn them of the dangers of releasing it?

@TheApprentice: How will they "lose" by making it available on another platform?

Plus, all this "PC gamers are PIRATES" is bullshit, it's not like people can't mod their xbox and play "backups".

And copy protection is bullshit, it'll never stop pirates... Sins of a Solar Empire has awesome sales with no "copy protection", you only need a cd-key for online play - which is an awesome way to encourage people to play the original.

in other words, PC gamers will mod the game and make their own tracks. whether criterion planned it or not.

what's new for consoles is old news for PCs.

Kind of weird looking back on it that they hadn't tried before, though I guess they didn't develop Burnout themselves.

And there are still people who hate Steam, they're just targets of fanboy beatdowns now that Orange Box is out. I get tired of repeating myself, but when Steam eventually shuts down, as all things do in time, just wait for the cries of bloody murder as millions of people can no longer install or play hundreds - or thousands by then - of dollars worth of games they own anymore.

This way correctly done?
It's not something rare, either.

Anyways, cheers to BP coming to the PC, I know a lot of people on the fence for it, as they can't afford a PS3 (and can't risk for a x360). Plus, PC games are 50% cheaper :D.

No brainer, must look better then the PS2 and offer both wiimote and classical/Gamecube support. I have all PS2 only Burnouts and 1 and 2 for the GameCube. I would BUY burnout on the Wii in a blink of an eye, if it was on the level with those versions (especialy 2 and takedown, my favorites).

Given that there is a strong online multiplayer focus to Burnout, the inevitable 10 day reactivations won't bite that hard. Although I wish that EA would just fork out the money for a system that works like Steam.

That's because Steam is copy protection done correctly - it doesn't make things more difficult for the player, it actually makes things much much easier than a traditional off-the-shelf game.

Of course leaving copy protection off altogether is another wise move, as the more savvy publishers are discovering!
