With just a few days left before its official release, another game's street date has been broken. The game: Burnout Paradise; the culprit: an EB Games store in St. Alberta, Alberta.

The image you see here was taken courtesy of Daelakk on QJ.NET's PS3 forums. He mentions that he was able to get his hands on a copy of the PS3 version of the game after pre-ordering it two days ago. Apparently, the store didn't realize that the release date of the game isn't until tomorrow.

Burnout Paradise map chopped into DLC pieces

PS3 - Burnout Paradise - Burnout Paradise map chopped into DLC pieces

EAUK Staff EAUK_Phenom writes:

"That map was a 'prototype' and it's from 2 years ago .

In the latest podcast (Episode 14), they talk about it (and the airport) and hint that they may consider this for downloadable content (DLC). They're very secretive about what DLC will be released, although they do say that it's going to be something "special", and that only releasing new cars would be boring - so I expect it to be new game modes or a new area . I hope so, anyway. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

It would be awesome if it was the airport, though."
