MediaKiosk to showcase digital entertainment kiosk at gamescom

Automatic Game Store will be shown in Cologne for the 2009 Expo

Germany, 18.08.2009.

Gamescom '09 offers GameExpress a stage to highlight its move one step closer to servicing consumer needs efficiently and personally. The Automatic Game Store is premised on consolidation of information and convenience. By synthesizing consumer reviews, game demos, screen shots, and general information, GameExpress combines a wealth of material in a single touch-screen interface. Rather than pin-balling between the internet and the back of a game box, gamers now deal with only one service point- open, unlike physical retails stores, 24/7.

Other aspects of the machine that the company hopes to focus on at the expo include the elimination of the risk of overstocking, as well as the need for pre-packaged inventory. At gamescom 2009, GameExpress will convey how its unique mechanism can fill the gap between an increasingly self-service-oriented consumer spectrum, and a time-lag in the gaming retail sector.  The company is additionally looking to add Wifi as a download option. The Automatic Game Store offers the opportunity for retailers, at which 90% of personal entertainment is still sold, to play catch-up and for Europe to get a taste of how things could be.

“What we’re really doing,” said head of the European office Dmitry Neumann, “is establishing a personal pipeline for digital entertainment. We’re pumping digital content right into consumers’ hands, but also expanding the digital content market but minimizing piracy.”

The GameExpress stand at the exposition will feature a fully functional kiosk, along with representatives from the Berlin branch of the office. More importantly, however, gamescom 2009 will expose over 300 representatives from 125 different countries to a technology the fuses the physical and digital.  Several meetings have already been scheduled with major retailers and publishers attending. GameExpress can be found at gamescom in Hall 9.1, stand B025.

GameExpress is an Automatic Game Store with interactive capacities. In development since 2006, it permits for the immediate delivery of multiple forms of digital content from a three panel-touch screen terminal. The content is then printed directly to CD or DVD, which is protected against piracy. GameExpress is currently owned by IQ Investment, a Russian-based company with a branch in Berlin.
