EA Slams onto Retail Shelves with Burnout Dominator

Award-Winning Series Delivers High-Speed Automotive Anarchy on PlayStation 2 and PSP

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2007--The king of speed and destruction is back! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that Burnout™ Dominator has shipped to North American retail outlets for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Burnout Dominator has been rated E10+ by the ESRB, with descriptors of Violence.

Burnout Dominator is an all-new installment of the blockbuster Burnout™ series that challenges players to face off against a series of hot-blooded rivals in tests of reckless driving. The game features an all-new "Maniac Mode," daring players to take down other drivers and string together massive combos of the wildest driving stunts without crashing. Burnout Dominator also marks the return of Burnouts and Boost Chaining, where gamers store up supercharged boost and use it all in one go -- before combo-ing into another Burnout -- for truly irresponsible speed.

"Burnout Dominator celebrates the terrifying feeling of speeding down the wrong side of the road, slamming into the car next to you and teetering on the edge of control at 200 miles per hour," said senior producer, Nick Channon. "It's a return to the game's essence -- the fastest, most aggressive racing series out there, bar none."

Burnout Dominator for PSP also features ad hoc multiplayer for up to six players, as well as "ScoreSync" functionality, which allows gamers to compare their best race times against their friends.

Burnout Dominator was developed by EA's Criterion Games and UK Studio team in Guildford, UK. For more information about the Burnout franchise, please visit http://ea.com or our press Web site at http://info.ea.com.
