Yes sir! You heard that right.The biggest arcade racing franchise which started out to be a console exclusive is now "finally" making it's way onto the PC.:D

Check out this Article from Criterion Games:

It's seems Burnout Paradise has been announced for PC.No clear indication of when that is going to be but still the news itself is mouth watering.Boy this is what I have been waiting for.A taste of good racing game on the PC.Hallelujah brethren! :D

Yeah, great news, I only hope they do it at the earliest rather than making us PC gamers wait for years to come...

Amen partner but since all major game companies are now shifting their focus onto releasing consoles games first.I guess there is a very slim chance of a fast release.I would rather let them take their time,polish the game & then port it across.It seems like a lot of console exclusives will eventually make it to PC.:D

They better take their time and build.We dont want some console port with no complete support for keyboard like that in Onimusa 3.Anyway great news buddy:D

Yup , A polished 'late' release is much much better than a hurried port . Besides PC gamers will take some time to get used to the Burnout way of racing ( although the latest iteration 'Paradise' is more on lines of NFS [ read slow speed ] than pure burnout [ read revenge ] ) .

Burnout rules!!! But I have a suspecion it won't be as good as the one on the consoles. Anyone remembers Resident Evil 4 for PC?? :D

^Can't really bet on it.Look at San Andreas.The PC version shined in all aspects.So it depends on the people porting the game.I have high expectations with Criterion on this one.Hopefully they get a good port for this game.

Depends on how much effort the company puts into making it for the pc. Lets hope they put in a lot of effort for making it good. Its really gr8 news.

Being no simple conversion of the console game, Burnout Paradise for PC arrives according to EA with additional gameplay content like "expanded multiplayer, enhanced online features, and community driven content".
