In January 2009, Criterion announced that they would release their second major, free, mandatory update for Burnout Paradise on 6 February 2009. This update will include the addition of an in-game browser for the PC and PlayStation 3 versions which will allow users to access the Criterion Games Network and and in-game store will be added to all versions allowing users to purchase DLC from within the game.
In addition to these interface changes, alterations have also been made to the gameplay including the "most substantial overhaul [to vehicle handling] since Burnout Paradise was first released". Various tweaks have been applied to vehicle dynamics and challenges to make them better balanced and more accessible to new players. Visuals have also been modified to make certain goals and targets more vibrant and easier to spot.
Despite earlier statements by developers that the game would not include a restart option (because it would mean introducing loading screens to the game), due to extremely high user demand, users will now be able to quickly restart an event if they fail or quit it.
Yes, and there is no word if this update is already included in the Ultimate Box. The way the two guys in the video blog talk, it seems like it is not included but needs to be downloaded seperately.

Ultimate Box
The Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box is a re-release of the game that will include the original game plus all the new free updates and Party.
It will be released on February 3, 2009 in North America and on February 6, 2009 in Europe. The game was originally set to be released only on the PS3 and PC but it will now also be available on the Xbox 360 at the time of release. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions however will not be released in North America.
I was attempting to work this out as well. From what I can gather, no, you don't need XBL to "unlock" or authenticate the extra content.
I'm basing my reasoning that resellers normally have to explicitly state that live is require. I've checked amazon, game, gameplay and shopto and no one has mentioned it.
No updates or Xbox Live required. The Ultimate Box is compatible with your old savegames and you can continue where you left off with the restart feature.
I think you start the game while connected to live to get the two updates bogart/cagney, though it might be done in 1 update now. The motorbikes are a sepearate add on.
I thought I was fully updated but i haven't noticed any extra island on the map, I admit I've not played it much tho.
Where is the extra Island on the map ? anyone know
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
