BringIt today announced that the company’s flagship online service, BringIt, has emerged from beta with a host of new features designed to make competitive gaming even more compelling. BringIt.com features a graphically rich and easy to navigate new interface, search functionality for games, tournaments, players, and leader boards. The company has added a loyalty points program redeemable for cash and prizes, as well as the ability for premium members to upload screenshots and video of their favorite games to their profile page. BringIt also boasts a dynamic Facebook integration application which has made www.BringIt.com a top destination for online cash and prize gaming on Xbox, PlayStation, and the Wii.
At BringIt, video gamers can put up money to challenge other players to matches, play their favorite games, and earn prize money by winning. The service was designed with both casual and core gamers in mind, delivering the next level of competitive gaming by removing physical barriers and offering an online destination where players looking for real head-to-head competition and real rewards can test their skills wherever and whenever they want.
“BringIt is a community and many of these new features are a direct result of member feedback over the past 6 months. Our goal is to make our members’ overall gaming experience even more fun and exciting,” said BringIt CEO and founder Woody Levin. “And in the near future, we’ll be offering clan tournaments in which up to 16 people can team up and go head-to-head against 16 opponents. This will add even more electricity to a membership base that’s in the tens of thousands, and growing close to two percent each day.”
BringIt works with any video game platform with online capabilities, and with any game that supports online head-to-head competition. BringIt supports a diverse portfolio of popular games for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo’s Wii. There are currently more than 30 games available, and some of the more popular titles include Call of Duty 4, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Guitar Hero: World Tour, UFC 2009, NBA Live, FIFA 09, and MLB 2K9. And, the much-anticipated Madden NFL 10 will be available shortly.
BringIt makes competitive console gaming easy, adding only one step to the well-known online gameplay process. Registration is free, and available to gamers 18 years and older. Players can fund their BringIt account via PayPal or major credit or debit card and access their secure account at their convenience.
