This was going to be pay-for DLC. :)

Here?s what Burnout Paradise players can look forward to, when they get the FREE Burnout Paradise Bikes Pack next month. (This is the pack formerly know by the codename ?Davis?.)

We?ve got two rides ready to go ? Day 1. Just head for your nearest junkyard in Paradise City to pick up the FV1100 street bike and the stunning Japanese Firehawk racing bike. That?ll do for a start, but there?s more in store once you?ve played a little way through the bike-specific gameplay. We?ll bring you more on these vehicles in a future post.

From the second we added the first prototype bike, we wanted to cruise the streets of Paradise City at night. So, in addition to the bikes, we?re adding night to the game. You?ll see day cycle through to night and see the city change with it. Paradise City takes on a life of its own once the rush hour traffic thins out!

During the day, you can play a variation of our Burning Routes challenges. Beat the target times on specific routes to complete ?Burning Rides?. The big change here is that these routes feature multiple checkpoints ? they?ll take you all over the city. At night, complete a different set of routes ? the ?Midnight Rides?.
We?ve created 70 challenges specially for bikes. 35 of these are timed, multi-part challenges ? the kind you?ll have experienced if you?ve been playing last month?s FREE software update codenamed Cagney.

Burnout: Paradise can be had for $29.99 on both systems now too. This is probably shaping up to be one of the best game values around with all the free content.

I don't have a strong desire to play anymore of this game, but I will definitely check out the bikes.

I even thought about firing it up yesterday. It's a fun game for a while, but you can only crash so many times before it gets a wee bit annoying.

Wow, those pics look great.

Is this game more of a simulator or arcade style racing game?

ROFL you think a game heavily based on crashing is simulator?

This was posted on 08/05 and stated it was coming "next month", which would be sometime in September. There doesn't appear to be a definitive date yet.

Cagney came out in July, which one are you looking for?

Cagney has new multiplayer modes and challenges IIRC.

Davis will add bikes and whatever else is contained in the OP.

Wiki is showing Sept 1 for PS3 and Sept 14th for Xb360

But I can't find those dates confirmed anywhere else.

That explains it, I thought Davis was renamed to Cagney

Really looking forward to this one. B:p is one of my favorite games at the moment. My wife is getting tired of hearing GnR, though.
