Criterion has released episode 15 of CrashTV and it gives an inside look into Big Surf Island. While it was first rumored to be another awesome free downloadable content pack, Big Surf Island has taken a 180 in that respect and will now be premium DLC. No price has been given yet, but we're sure the team at Criterion will release that information in due time.
The developers had this to say about the change from free to paid for content.
"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."
Outside of the video linked above, we've included screenshots from the new island below for you to check out.

I believe we all feel a little bit dumber after reading kora5551's comment, or lack thereof.
I never bought Paradise because I didn't like the feel of the racing, but I think it is more than fair to pay for DLC as large as an island.

same here , i would not mind paying fro this. they have given alot for free already, and its looks like good quaility.
thats how paid for dlc should be, we shouldnt be buying crap updates or stuff the game has already (NFS, and of course just my opinion)

wish they would remake burnout 3, i would happily pay for the dlc if it included crash mode. as it stands though criterion should be applauded for the faith they have shown in this game, this add on island comes a bit late but i will definitly get it, glad they put custom soundtracks on it though cos guns n roses ruined this game for me

HalfOfZero.... yes, people still play it online. I can find about 20 or more full servers any time of day. It is pretty popular due to the free addons and such. I am sure it will still be popular a year from now.
