EA unveils Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

Electronic Arts has announced a second "ultimate" edition of Burnout Paradise which includes the Cagney, Bikes and Burnout Party downloadable content packs, slated to come thundering onto PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next February. High-fives to MCV for the tip-off.

Criterion’s Burnout Paradise boomed into Europe and North America this January, and was promptly inundated with sky-high review scores and downloadable updates. The Cagney pack (released over PlayStation Network in July) taped on three new multiplayer modes, while the Bikes pack (September) stirred in two-wheeled rides and a day-night cycle. The Burnout Party download (also slated for release in February) focuses on single console multiplayer, with a pass-the-controller challenge mode for the peripheral-deficient, and will grant PS3-owners access to the Burnout Paradise Network.

As attentive readers will know (wake up!), there are three more DLC packs on the way. Really, Criterion, you’re spoiling us.
