Looking at the official website for Burnout Paradise, to hit the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 early next year, we can spy some exciting news. We knew a demo was coming, but it’s nice to see it coming so early.

On Criterion’s official website there is a newly revealed “Countdown to Demo Day” which has 8 days remaining. This would place the demo on Thursday Decemeber 13th. Thursday – a typical Playstation Store update day, and since Burnout Paradise has the PS3 as it’s lead platform it should be coming there first.

Whether the demo will also be on Xbox LIVE is a question I can’t answer. It depends on how vigorous talks between Criterion, Sony and Microsoft have been. Bring on the crashing!
