Company Responds to FTC Study By Turning The GAMEBOY’ Into Portable Digital Music Player To Soothe The Savage Gamer

Palo Alto, CA -- September 14, 2000 -- Songpro.com Inc. has an immediate solution for the troubling findings of the Federal Trade Commission regarding the marketing of violent video games to children under 17.  Plugging in the Songpro Jr. digital music player into a Gameboy portable gaming unit instantly creates a tool to expose the gaming community of all ages to the joys of music.  In addition to the use of stereo sound, the Songpro Jr. will also utilize the screen to add lyrics, cartoons, or any picture to the experience. Suddenly the user has an engaging alternative to the aggression and violence present in so many of the video games today.

"We believe that this is a promising solution for parents wishing to avoid today's exposure to violence through an entertainment tool that's loved by kids," explained Mark Bush, SongBoy.com's CMO. "One of the most important ways to address the FTC finding is to provide the entertainment industry and parents alike with an alternative to the overwhelming violent material being marketed to children." The FTC study found 70 percent of all "Mature" rated games were being marketed to children under 17.

There is no other portable digital music player on the market that utilizes the visual portion of the multimedia experience. One quickly realizes the full potential of graphics when thinking about the possibilities of educational software for the mobile community. Over 100 million Gameboys are currently sitting in school lockers, desk drawers and of course in the hands of people around the globe.  The simple addition of a SongPro Jr. cartridge into these devices will open a world of discovery for the user.

"Creating content which is more entertaining than violent games will pave the way for future generations of digital entertainment which fosters the expansion of the mind rather than digressing into the black hole of violence," noted SongBoy.com CEO, Ron Jones.
