==PS3 Version==
It appears this build also existed [https://archive.org/details/burnoutparadisebeta5ps320071031 on PS3], probably worth making a separate article for it. 
While I'm at it, there's also this [https://archive.org/details/burnout-paradise-20071128-x360.7z Xbox review build] that's floating around, but I don't have access to enough information to add it. --[[User:Vixen|Vixen]] ([[User talk:Vixen|talk]]) 13:46, November 5, 2022 (EDT)

* The words "BETA CANDIDATE 1.0" are present at the bottom of the screen at all times during gameplay.
* Miscellaneous Notes:
** Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
** Game contains dongle protection: No.
===Crash mode===
While the names of crash zones are identical to the retail release, the order is slightly different and most zones were swapped around. 
The table below details which retail zone each beta zone corresponds to.

[1]: While the zone is identical, it is played in reverse compared to the retail release (start and finish were swapped around). 
[2]: This zone starts on a previous stretch of highway compared to the retail release (its finish is located where the retail zone starts). 
[3]: The car hovers over the ground then slowly sinks under the map, making this zone unplayable.
