EA announced today that Big Surf Island, the latest Burnout Paradise expansion that becomes available on June 12th will be costing $12.99 (PSN) or 1000 MS points (XBL). One item I have not seen mentioned previously is that there will be an Island specific driver’s license for the DLC.  It is good to see the game receiving continual support, especially considering those that do not own the original title can pick it up for $19.99 for either the Xbox 360 or PS3.  Check out the original video and some screen shots from the game that we previously posted.
