On the 1st of May 2007 BurnoutAholics.com as we know it today opened its doors to the public. As some of you might know the site has actually been around since July 2006 but the first 10 months was used to try out various ideas and technology for the site.

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary we decided to have a birthday party. We invited some of our most active members to the BurnoutAholics HQ in Margate, UK.

Bogart is dropping frames

Have you noticed that Burnout Paradise has gotten a bit jerky after the Bogart update was applied on the XBox 360? Here is what the Burnout Team has to say about it:

"We're aware there are some framerate issues with yesterday's Bogart update on some Xbox 360s.

This relates specifically to the frame rate in streaming zones and does not seem to be an issue on all machines.

Thanks to everyone for all the feeedback on the forums.

We're doing everything we can to resolve this as quickly as possible and will post further info on a solution as soon as we have it."
