Such an opportunity arose when Gamemine.com discovered that the military
has a difficult time keeping current with the continuous titles released for
console systems. Gamemine.com discussed the matter with MWR and agreed to be
title sponsor to the largest gaming event held by MWR atPearl Harbor.
Gamemine.com has tapped into a completely fresh market by offering its service
of video game rental memberships through its online gaming subscription
service to military personnel and their families on US bases, both
international and domestic. Gamemine.com has worked out the ability to ship
games to the bases abroad with the same turnaround time as shipping within the
continentalUnited States. Gamemine.com is the first company to initiate a
business relationship with the US Military in the gaming industry, which is
why, "Gamemine.com is where the military comes to play."
Under new ownership, Gamemine.com is revamping its website. Gamemine.com
will not only provide its subscription service for gaming rental, but also
host the first open sourced online gaming community, similar to myspace.com.
Through this free community site, Gamemine.com will host tournaments between
civilians and military personnel. It is a way for military families abroad to
maintain their relationships back home.
Gamemine.com, based inDelray Beach, Florida, and Tom's River,New Jersey,
is an online video game rental subscription service for gaming consoles and
portables. Customers set up their "MineList" of games by preference. The
games are sent to them by mail with a return postage paid envelop for their
return. The packages include one, two or three games, and customers can keep
the games as long as they want with no late fees. Unique to Gamemine.com are
parental controls allowing parents of minors to establish parental controls on
what games can be rented based on their rating from the ESRB.
