Nintendo to be Inducted into the Variety Home Entertainment Hall of Fame

November 2, 2011

Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn, Hastings Entertainment president and CEO John Marmaduke, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) president and CEO Gary Shapiro, Nintendo of America and the 'Harry Potter' franchise will be inducted into the Variety Home Entertainment Hall of Fame on Dec. 5, 2011 at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. As an added bonus, the 31st annual Variety Home Entertainment Hall of Fame gala dinner and awards show will also benefit charities chosen by the inductees.

"These inductees demonstrate all that is exciting about home entertainment as it moves from a flat experience to 3D, from a passive experience to an interactive adventure and from hard goods to a revenue-expanding mix of physical, digital, mobile and other models that provide increased convenience and value to the entertainment consumer," said Linda Buckley-Bruno, publishing director of Variety.

Dinner tickets are available for $495 each, or $4,950 for a table of ten. Purchases can be made online at www.variety.com/events.

These guys have turned home entertainment into a V8 experience, I'm glad they managed to get where they deserved to be. Playing "Harry Potter" was one of the best things I've done in my life. Keep it coming, I'm completely ready for good games!
