Criterion Games: Burnout Paradise Cagney update to include custom soundtracks on PS3 version

If you own the PS3 version of Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360) and have ever wished that you could listen to your own playlist while partaking in some next-gen motorist mayhem, then consider your wish granted. Criterion Games has included the feature of custom soundtracks in the Cagney update for the PS3 version. Is that awesome, or is that awesome? The answers and the details in the full version.

If you’re one of the many fans of Criterion’s Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360) waiting for the highly-anticipated Cagney update, then here’s a special treat for you owners of the PS3 version: custom soundtracks. Yes, you heard that right: you can now finally burn with your own tracks, your own tunes, and it’s easy as pie.

When the Cagney update finally comes, how will PlayStation 3 owners get their own tunes into the Burnout Paradise? For those of us expecting something difficult, or even archaic, nothing can be farther from the truth.

In fact, you can even set your custom soundtrack without even interrupting the game. Just hit the Easydrive menu, select the Soundtrack option, and then Custom. This would bring up the XMB custom soundtracks page, where you can select the tracks you want to play. It’s as easy and simple as that, and you can even select whether you want to shuffle or repeat tracks.

Thanks to Criterion, the dream of smashing up your competitor’s cars with Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture blaring from your sound system can now be realized. That, dear readers, is class.
