Probably "We are EA we run things our way" - seriously though EA are knobs, they seem to think because they are EA they can balls up the online things, If you thought this was annoying then you're in for a treat with PS2 online, it's totally cack mainly due to EA's awful online system.

Anybody actually know what EA's thinking is behind hosting it's own servers?
My main concerns with the game are:
Graphics, yeah they are good but the jaggies are present here and you can tell it was made alongside the PS2 version, I rekon if it was purely made for the Xbox it would look a lot better.
As Tilt mentioned, the lobbies are totally fecked up, they are very buggy, I've had countless times in games with creepy and bullet where I've lost the connection, our stats won't update, we even sometimes lose communications all together, also sometimes when going to the lobby everyone gets kicked, EA should just let MS handle the online stuff!
The 50/60hz annoys the hell out of me, is it me or are there a LOT more playing on 50hz than 60hz? I love the party crash mode and hardly anyone seems to play it using 60hz!

Bah, my copy still hasn't been dispatched. I was hoping to have it for today, but it seems nto to be.
10/10 in gamesTM.
Indeed, EA have cocked up.
Also, it doesn't seem to display that people are actually playing Burnout 3 online. It just says 'Online in Burnout 3' without the microphone symbol. Strange.
Game's excellent online, really suprised at how smooth it all runs with all the traffic and stuff on screen.
It's a pity though that EA's servers suck so badly though, what the f**k is all this confusing lobby nonsense?
Also everytime it goes to update my stats on EA's servers it says it can't find Live and logs me out. Stupid pile of w**k EA, why do they have to be so money hungry and run their own crappy servers?

I got my copy along with the X-Box this morning. Only played for an hour and got over 60 takedowns. It's a heck of a lot of fun.
