BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002

Fullplay Media Systems, Inc. (OTC:FPLY), a leading developer of multimedia merchandising systems, and Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq:TWMC), the nation's largest mall-based specialty music retailer, today announced Trans World/FYE's decision to order 16,000 Listening and Viewing Stations (LVS) for deployment throughout their FYE stores in the United States in the third quarter of 2002.

Designed for Trans World by Fullplay, the LVS device is one of the first embedded devices to support Microsoft's Windows Media 8 technology; incorporating both WMA audio and WMV video playback. The in store listening and viewing system connects the LVS multimedia preview stations within a single store location to a Microsoft WindowsXP server that provides access to all of the songs and videos from the store's catalog of titles. Using Windows Media technology to store and stream content, songs and videos can be accessed and previewed from any device at any time. Shoppers simply scan any CD or DVD in the store to access a particular song or video. The system is part of an overall strategic initiative to re-brand Trans World's 650 mall-based specialty stores and its web site under a single, unified brand, FYE (for your entertainment).

"Our pilot program for the LVS system has demonstrated that we can improve the in-store customer experience and favorably affect purchases through a compelling sampling experience," said Trans World Vice President of Marketing, Mark Hogan. "Moving forward with this initiative moves us closer towards achieving our goal of leveraging our expertise in music and entertainment, and building long-lasting relationships with our customers through an integrated online and in-store consumer experience and product offering."
