Original Burnout £61.26...

....from a shop called Oxford Entertainment at Amazon Uk. Mmm, I'll
have 2 please at that price!?! Honestly, these shops have to be some
kind of tax write-off or something. They can't hope to actually sell
games at that price. Another company called Alphacraze on the same
page had the price £48.47 (this is Burnout 1 by the way). Even
SimplyGames is selling it for £36.99, including the caption 'other
bargains available'... huh?. This, when you can buy the Classic
version for £16.99. Anyway, I'm enjoying Burnout 2 so much that I
though i might try the original. Any views about it compared to the
sequel?

Nutters. Still, people buy second hand games from Game for only £5 less
than the cost of it brand new...

If you have played the sequel before the original, then I wouldn't bother
going back to the first one. Whilst Burnout was great when it first came
out, B2 does everything better. Going back to it feels very pedestrian in
comparison.

Because 'points' and quotes are for sissies and big girls blouses.

I adored the first Burnout, it was the one Xbox game I played with my mates
over and over....

Until Burnout 2 came out. I can't even go back to it, we did it one night
for a bit to see what it was like but Burnout 2 is much faster and slicker
in every respect so the old one feels slow!

By all means pick up a copy to see where the next one came from, but I
wouldn't go hoping for a similar experience to that which you get in Burnout
2!

Do you mean the Xbox USA model for £549.99? plus the USA games for £54.99
each?
