Many months ago, the story came out of Electronic Arts that they were going to release an updated boxed version of Burnout Paradise for the PC, as well as the 360 and PS3.  In this package would be the original Burnout Paradise, the party hot-seat patch, and all the current patches for the game up to the current moment. It would also be released for the reduced price of $29.99.

We now have a date for this release, and you should be able to get your hands on this release February 6th, 2009.  This date covers all platforms, but there is a bonus for those buying Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box through the EA Store.  Purchase the Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box through the EA Store, and you will get to play the game three days before anyone that buys at retail.  No word on if this bonus will be extended to Steam, or even if Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box will be released on Steam, so if you want to throw down on challenges early, you will have to give in to the EA Store terms and conditions.  The choice is yours.
