Since launching in October 2004, Direct2Drive (D2D) has allowed gamers to conveniently purchase and download the latest premium games, gaining popularity among IGN's large customer base with its growing roster of top games and publishers. With this extension, D2D achieves its vision to provide fans a one-stop shop to find digital content from their favorite franchises. The new content will provide a destination where fans of a particular franchise can locate the movies, TV, anime, video games, and comics in digital form all in one place. In the coming months, D2D will offer special package bundles of related films, TV series and games.

"Much like the market for downloads of full PC games in 2004, digital distribution of movies and TV programming is now in its earliest stages," said Jamie Berger, general manager of IGN Consumer Products. "We are thrilled to offer IGN's technology-savvy consumers premium movies and TV shows in the highest-quality format at competitive prices."

Direct2Drive will promote the new offering and future releases throughout the IGN Entertainment network through cross-promotions at Fox Interactive Media properties including IGN.com, Rotten Tomatoes, and Film Force, among others.

Direct2Drive's secure digital download service will enable users to transfer content to up to two PCs and one portable device per PC. Content will be available at competitive prices: Approximately $7.99 to $19.99 for feature film releases and $1.99 per TV series episode.
