Acclaim Offers Games via
On-Demand CDs and DVDs Powered by SwiftCD.com
All Acclaim Titles to Be Offered
Both As Downloads and On CDs or DVDs
Acclaim Games and SwiftCD.com have
partnered to offer on-demand physical delivery of Acclaim’s multiplayer online
games on CDs and DVDs. In addition to being able to download the game for free,
both BOTS!! www.botsgame.com
and 9Dragons
www.9dragonsgame.com games can now be obtained on a free CD or DVD
shipped worldwide to the Acclaim Games customer (shipping & handling fees
apply). The large file sizes of the games (e.g., 9Dragons is over 700MB)
prompted many Acclaim customers to request a physical delivery option. Acclaim
has now made quick and easy physical delivery available via the SwiftCD
partnership.
"SwiftCD gave us exactly what we
wanted; a turn-key solution incorporating all aspects of the order taking,
on-demand production and worldwide fulfillment", said Howard Marks, Chief
Executive Officer of Acclaim Games. "SwiftCD has a reputation for excellence and
reliability along with unparalleled service. They made the implementation on our
side almost effortless."
The BOTS!! and 9Dragons download
pages are now live with the SwiftCD-powered physical delivery options. On-demand
CDs/DVDs are free to Acclaim players and available for only a nominal shipping
and handling charge. The CDs/DVDs are shipped worldwide, normally within 24
business hours of receiving the order. Since the CDs and DVDs are made
‘on-demand’, Acclaim customers are assured to always get the latest software
versions. As a bonus, the 9Dragons DVD also contains BOTS!!.
"Acclaim Games is one of the most
recognized brands in the world of online gaming. We’re thrilled to have been
selected to power the Acclaim physical media solution", said Jason Foodman,
Chief Executive Officer of SwiftCD.com. "Offering a physical delivery option
ensures that everyone who is interested in experiencing the magic Acclaim has
created will have the chance to play these amazing games."
Acclaim plans to offer a CD or DVD
for each of the downloads on its website so that consumers always have the
option to have the large files delivered rather than downloaded on their PC.
Customers with slow connections, as well as those who desire or prefer having
media backup, will benefit from this new option making all of Acclaim’s free to
play multiplayer online games easily accessible to all.
All of Acclaim’s multiplayer online
games are fun, addicting, and best of all free to play. Simply register for a
free account at www.acclaim.com
and download the games (or order game software on CD/DVD from SwiftCD) to play
now!
