SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/11/09 -- Haven't found that perfect gift for your
Valentine yet? Roses are great, and who doesn't love chocolate...but why
not be extra original and thoughtful this year and give a Valentine's Day
gift that keeps on giving and stays fresh all year. We're talking about online
gaming and home theater networking! Sure, online gaming and home theater
networking doesn't come in a red heart-shaped box, but what could be
more romantic than making that special someone happier by connecting all
their digital goodies.
Have a special gamer in your life? Nothing could make a gamer's heart beat
faster than live head-to-head competition. With Actiontec's AV Powerline
Gaming Kit, these little adapters turn any power outlet into an instant gaming
network connection -- allowing your sweetie to get their Xbox 360(TM),
Playstation 3®, or Nintendo Wii(TM) online and ready for action on the
battlefield, racetrack, football field and more!
For the movie buff in your life, help them get their digital video
recorders (DVR) online and give them access to video on demand, photo,
video and file sharing, and even the ability to catch up on a basketball
game or reality show from their PC. The MegaPlug AV Powerline Networking
Kit makes it simple and easy, two key ingredients for a happy Valentine's
Day. Simply, plug the adapter into a wall and you'll have a simple, instant
connection for your home
theater network.
Have more gadgets to connect for your Valentine? A home theater to share
movies? A game system for him? Want to extend your home network to let her take her PC to
her favorite lounging spot? No problem -- just keep adding MegaPlug
Powerline adapters to any outlet and connect the new device. It's as easy
as plugging in a lamp.
