GameTree TV: the game on demand on Freebox

Free has announced that the Freebox Revolution (V6) was now compatible with the gaming platform to demand GameTree TV. The solution requires an Intel TransGaming, as the Atom of the Freebox Revolution, and offers casual games for rent. We find such hits as "Seed vs. Zombies," "Bejeweled 2", "World of Goo", etc..

The principle is simple: the games - often addictive - are downloaded directly onto the hard disk of the device and it is possible to rent the game - on a daily or weekly - or even buy it. For now, there are 25 games available on the Freestore, but new games should come out every week. As shown, Free tries to make his mark in video games, although it must take into account one thing: the market is still quite limited for the company.

Indeed, the number of subscribers is about 4 million now, and they do not all have access to the Freebox Revolution. Still, for gamers simple but addictive, the solution is interesting and innovative.
