    Excellent news! I thoroughly enjoyed playing Burnout 3: Takedown on the PS2, but I've not been able to race through any games after that due to lack of time, then lack of PS3. Finally I'll be able to re-live the fast-paced carnage on my faithful PC. =D

    Whoa now, EA is making the PC version? Or are they publishing it? If its the former dear god i hope not. They've been know to kill games with lazy programming.
    If its the latter than its great, cause Criteron will be able to develop it.
