Nobody's going to complain about free DLC. It's putting the island on the map and leaving the route open, then throwing a menu in the players face if they should happen across the bridge in the heat of a Road Rage mission or something. That's obnoxious.
In principle, I like the idea of DLC, but there are a lot of ways to screw it up. Downgrading the enjoyment of people who don't buy your DLC — in the case of Burnout, by throwing menus mid-game and offering deceptive options in other menus — is one of the pitfalls to be avoided. I want carrots for buying your DLC, not sticks for failing to buy it.
