M-2K Gets Panasonic Backing for Online Retail Site (www.DVDromshop.com)
M-2K announced a strategic partnership with Panasonic Disc Services Corporation (PDSC) to promote DVDromshop.com (www.dvdromshop.com), an online superstore for DVD-ROMs. As part of the agreement, PDSC (www.panasonicdvd.com) will make an investment and provide consultation services in order to help advance the online venture. In return, Panasonic Disc Services Corporation will receive promotional considerations. DVDromshop.com opened its doors for business as of August 16. M-2K, whose Multimedia 2000 division is the world's premier publisher and distributor of DVD-ROMs, created DVDromshop.com in response to the dearth of products and information available for the burgeoning DVD-ROM format. The site's primary purpose is to offer customers a complete catalog of every DVD-ROM software title on the market, as well as enhanced DVD movie titles and other special selections, in one central location. The site will also feature the latest news in the DVD-ROM world, along with reviews and previews. Multimedia 2000 creates and distributes multimedia DVD-ROM and CD-ROM titles developed with respected consumer brands such as Better Homes and Gardens, Webster Publishing, and The Home Depot.
