[edit] How to Access Game Changing Content
[edit] Free Updates
On consoles, as soon as you turn on the game, it will inform you that a new update is available. To install the new version of the game, follow the steps on the screen for the PlayStation 3 or go to the Add-Ons section in the Xbox Marketplace to download it.
On PCs, you must download EA Download Manager and log in to it with your EA account information. You then must register your copy of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box with EA Download Manager with the code on the back of its box. After this is done once, EA Download Manager will alert you that there is an update is available as soon as you start up your copy of Burnout Paradise as long as you are signed in. To install the new version of the game, follow the steps on the screen.
Please note that is is always a good idea to back up your save files before performing an update in case something goes wrong. This can be done on all systems by copying your save game file to a USB drive or storage device.
[edit] Premium Content
Included in the February update was an in-game store where you can purchase and download Burnout Paradise's Premium Content when it is released. On consoles, this premium content can also be purchased and downloaded via the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Adding funds to your EA account for the PC can be done via profile.ea.com.
[edit] Unreleased Content
Criterion Games brainstormed many Game Changing Content ideas that never made it into the game. Some went quite far into the prototype stages with Criterion featuring airplanes flying around Paradise City in one of their live video podcasts. Ideas thrown around were additional vehicle types such as airplanes, helicopters, and boats as well as locations like the moon and tunnels beneath Paradise City.[1]
[edit] Planes
Interestingly, planes actually making it into the game has been hinted at multiple times by Burnout's developers. In early 2009, a response on Criterion Games' FAQ stated that there would be an exciting "announcement" on April 1st, or April Fools Day. It was then removed and not mentioned by Criterion Games until April 1st, when Criterion's in-game Twitter page featured several hints such as, "Won't you come fly with us?"
