Christian games to be available from in-store myMEDIA BurnBar kiosks.
Corvallis, OR (July 3rd, 2008) - GraceWorks Interactive announces an agreement with Integra Interactive, Inc. for the licensing rights to burn in-store its games through the Integra myMEDIA BurnBar™ kiosk system. This allows Christian Retailers to offer a lot more titles without having to add miles of shelf space.
"We are excited about this opportunity as we enjoy working with and helping the Christian Retailers who serve a vital ministry in their communities. Now they can sell our product, and many others, without going out of stock nor receive damaged product caused during shipping." said Tim Emmerich, Owner of GraceWorks Interactive. "We encourage consumers to investigate Interactive Parables. It contains every Parable that Jesus taught in a fun, 3D game. And we encourage believers to support their local Christian Retailer!"
The exclusive agreement will give shoppers the ability to see trailers of each computer game to gauge their interest. Once the customer makes the purchase, it will then be burned immediately to a CD right there in the store.
"Since its launch one year ago, myMEDIA BurnBar has become a key sales generator for music and audio books for many retailers without the usual attached inventory costs. Computer and videogames is just another category to give shoppers an even broader selection of products," stated David Amster, Integra Chief Innovation Officer.
