I have a 15 dollar EA Store birthday coupon code, and I'd like to use it on Burnout 3, which is listed at 20 dollars, so it would be 5 bucks, with 6 for shipping, and maybe a couple for tax.
I've only heard amazing things about this game, but I wanted CAGer opinions...would you buy Burnout 3 for 11-12 bucks? Thanks.

Yeah I would. The ones on eBay go for $15-20, so if you ever get bored with it, you could just sell it and get your money back.

Yeah, it's a great arcade racer. Good for bashing things or for being awed by your car going up in a cloud of sparks and twisted steel.
In fact, I'd say the only real flaw of the game is the soundtrack. It's why I held out for an X-box copy even though the PS2 ones dropped. If only Microsoft would use custom soundtracks in more games.

The soundtrack is terrible, but the game isn't bad. Loading times are a bit annoying though, but I was playing the PS2 version. I don't know if the Xbox version is better.
I don't usually like arcade racers and this kept my boyfriend and I entertained for a few weeks. I think it's worth $20 although I'm glad I didn't pay $50 for it.

I'd buy Burnout 3 for $74.99. I bought it at $49.99 and I felt like I ripped them off. Such an amazing game.

This was a great game. Stryker gets a little annoying, but since he's from KROQ I got over it. I used to play the crap out of it. Well worth the money.

Buy! Buy! Buy! Don't read these damn posts anymore and just get it! Seriously, it's the best arcade racer ever made. Nuff said.
It's a great time to be a cheap ass gamer.

I rented it first. It was so darn good, I just had to buy a copy. Its a no-brainer to get it for $12.

Just to echo everyone else... it was well worth it at 50 bucks.

Definitely buy it. Burnout 3 is an amazing game with loads of replayability, and it is very fun. You just wreak havoc and reap benefits, amazingly cool.
I bought mine for $50 and I don't regret it.
Burnout 4 is on its way, can't wait.

I paid full price for it and never regretted it. I still haven't finished the damn thing! It's the best arcade racer in a long time, if not ever.

Buy it no questions asked, amazing, amazing game. I haven't had so much fun with a racer in years, playing until 4 in the morning, getting up and playing some more.
Well, everyone in here seems to like it. Sadly, I won't side with them. The game sucks. It sucks hard. It was the worst, crappiest game I've ever played. So glad I didn't pay for it.
Okay, so I lied above. It is a great game. And this thread reminds me I still need to purchase it!
