In case you didn't know, Burnout Paradise and all of it's DLC were on sale last week on the Playstation Store. (I purchased the game and all content for $19.) I love the game, and I'm glad I purchased it, especially for such a low price. The standalone game was availible for $7.99. Since then, I have been thoroughly addicted to this game, and definately recommend it to anyone.
An important detail though, is that the game was not "on my radar" until it was offered at such a low price. EA would have never seen any money from that purchase. Even if I did want the game, I would have bought it used for a discount. If this is a lesson to any publisher, it is that once a retail game becomes availible to download on PSN or XBL, It needs to periodically go on sale aat a cheaper price than a used copy at Gamestop or Best Buy. This will not only allow gamers to play more games, it will also allow publishers to make money that would normally go to a used game sale. Also, it builds awareness for a possible sequel for a game.
