Sprint announced the launch of the Sprint Arcade, a unique bundle of casual games. The Sprint Arcade, the first-ever subscription game channel in North America, allows customers to download multiple games powered by EA Mobile, the group within Electronic Arts that creates games for wireless phones, for one low monthly fee. The current list of games includes Sudoku, Mini Golf, Mahjong, Hearts, Air Hockey and Blue Blocks, with more to be added.

The Sprint Arcade is available on most data-enabled Sprint phones for $9.99 per month. To download, Sprint customers should select the Web icon on their phone's main menu and type "arcade" into the search box. Standard data usage charges apply.

Sprint also announced today at E for All the launch of the Sprint Digital Lounge Arcade, a PC-based try and buy arcade. The Sprint Digital Lounge Arcade, powered by Mpowerplayer, allows customers to try games before they buy on their PC. Game demos in the Digital Lounge Arcade are available at no charge and allow the customer to purchase and download after playing. Standard data charges apply to all downloads.

The Digital Lounge Arcade complements the Sprint Play Free Games! mobile Web site, where customers can download a set number of demos each month directly to their Sprint phones.

In a separate announcement at E for All, Sprint game partner Namco Networks will announce the mobile launch of the popular Popeye arcade game, available exclusively on Sprint phones. For more information on this game and all mobile gaming offerings from Sprint.

In addition to its announcements at E for All, Sprint is hosting a Media Hospitality Lounge throughout the show. All badged media members are welcome in the lounge, located in Los Angeles Convention Center room 404A, for refreshments and relaxation.
