X360 Burnout 5 (Feb 22 2007)

This was recovered from a EA Demo kit. The game was missing afew files and did not work.
Big thanks to burninrubber0 for getting the game working. Also WebDemon for getting me to recover what was on the 20GB HDD.

Huh, didn't expect to wake up to this. Nice to see some screenshots getting shared. Guess I should mention there was more B5 stuff found on the image, mainly some files from a January 24 build that were used to partially repair this build, but that Jan build is mostly overwritten.

Also, entries in the corrupted FATX filesystem left over from previous formatting indicates this kit contained 2007 Burnout 5 builds from January 12, June 6, and July 16/17; their files are entirely overwritten and unrecoverable. The July build is most interesting as its FATX entries show it had cut content such as the PS3 Hawker and several cut songs.

Anyway, have a video.

I'm glad I was helpful in getting the basics going to recover this, although I only done the nagging it was @burninrubber0 who done the magic. Before it would crash before even getting to the start menu took him months and months but in the end it was worth it.

This is why preservation is highly important. You literally never know what'll be found on the system. This Demo Xbox 360 Kit would normally never have such content but yet it did which was a huge shock.

Absolutely insane, looks like it was going to be more like the older entries but with an open world. Nice!

Does it play paradise city by guns and roses every 5 minutes?

Does it play paradise city by guns and roses every 5 minutes?

No, it doesn't even contain the audio for it.

Just a joke. Being from Tennessee that was my favorite part of burnout paradise as a kid lol

Holly molly, what a find. I wish so bad I could see the extent of this build.

Cool to see early build footage of it. I got a copy with my Xbox 360 and played it a ton since I didn't have anything else to play.
