Not sure what Acclaim has planned for promoting Burnout 2. I stopped by EB today, and they say they received just two copies of Burnout 2. One they sold, and the other was on display. Got to try it for a bit. Certainly enjoyable and was able to crank up over $4 million in damage when I hit the bus and got it to vear into the wrong lane and create mayhem. But didn't play it enough to see what sort of depth it had. Best Buy had only 1 copy available. I can only assume that a larger shipment is coming, and they plan on some promotions as the quarter proceeds. Maybe they wanted the shortage to create some excitement?

As far as exclusive on PS2, I am sure Sony offered something for them to say that, but maybe its just some promotion. Who knows. Whether that extends on out to 2003 remains to be seen. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony uses them to show how good the PS2 can be if the developers work at it. The quality makes it look like an XBox game Certainly something odd about the small number of shipments. Burnout sold well enough that they would certainly put a few of them out there if they had them. And EB was showing it off on one of their two displays, so certainly more to come. Could be that there was something that delayed putting out a large number of copies in the first run.
