Criterion have unveiled Big Surf Island for Burnout Paradise but also revealed that the new downloadable area will now cost users to download.

"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, 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".

"We want Burnout Paradise players to experience the greatest support ever seen in a console game," the developer added. "We’re transforming not just Burnout Paradise, but the whole Burnout franchise through DLC, and we appreciate the support we know you guys will give us for our paid content. We think it’s worth it."

To be fair, the developer has supported the game with free content more than most developers do, so perhaps we can let them away with this one.
