The run of awesome, free content is nearly over for Burnout Paradise fans. Starting in 2009, the company will roll out their line of "premium downloadable content" and there will be a charge associated with it.
One such piece of DLC hit with a pricing gun is "Big Surf Island".
No details are known yet on pricing or when it will be made available for download. However, a loose time frame of "2009" is the only reference we have.

One such piece of DLC hit with a pricing gun is "Big Surf Island".
We’d mentioned in a previous podcast that this would be free content, but we can now confirm that it will be premium paid-for content.
Here’s why. We never expected to create anything this ambitious for the island, but as it progressed we got more and more excited about what it could become. (In fact, that’s the story of all our Downloadable Content.)
Big Surf is the culmination of everything we learned creating Paradise City, and we want it to bring you a truly spectacular new experience – the highlight of a year of incredible premium content. Burnout already delivers incredible value for money – literally hundreds of hours of gameplay with your original disk or PSN purchase, plus more with the free Cagney Pack and free Burnout Paradise Bikes.
