Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) May 8, 2006 -- Peerflix (www.peerflix.com), the
leading peer-to-peer (P2P) network that allows members to legally trade
DVDs online
, today announced that it received
a Horizon Interactive Award. The fifth annual international competition
recognized excellence in interactive media production among multi-media
developers worldwide. Peerflix was recognized for their excellence with
a Silver Medal award in the Sales/eCommerce category.
"The Horizon Interactive Awards winners are at the top of their class.
All of the winners this year exemplify the highest standard for
interactive media development," said Mike Sauce, founder of the Horizon
Interactive Awards. "It is truly amazing to see the level of creativity,
craftsmanship and artistry on display among this year's winners."
The online DVD trading site was chosen from
among the hundreds of entries to receive the Award based on demonstrated
excellence in creative concept, artistic excellence, and technical
execution. Judges of the competition came from diverse industry
backgrounds, including multi-media, graphic design and marketing.
"Peerflix is thrilled to receive the Horizon Interactive Award," said
Peerflix representative Dan Henig. "It's great to see a panel of such
highly respected judges recognize Peerflix as a leader in the DVD online
market and it is an honor to see the Peerflix
name next to such notable brands as Dell and Nike." Henig ended his
comments by saying, "Our platform has been designed to empower the user
by giving them a legal and scalable way to get DVDs cheap
. This is an advantage
that we believe we have over membership-based online rental services
such as Netflix or
Blockbuster ."
Peerflix offers a peer-to-peer online trading platform for physical
media. In its first application, the system allows users to trade used
DVDs across a large, distributed network, keeping their DVD
collection dynamic and fresh. Peerflix
itself carries no inventory and does not participate in the transaction:
it simply matches people and products while optimizing for trade speed,
frequency, and geography. The company transfers its low overhead
directly to customers by only charging $0.99 for each trade facilitated
by its system. Since its 2004 launch, Peerflix has been steadily
building its customer base and site inventory and today is the leading
online destination for DVD owners to trade their DVDs online
.
