Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. today announced the launch of the European GameShark online store, a comprehensive Internet shopping boutique, offering customers the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of videogame and other interactive entertainment accessories.

Building on the success of the North American GameShark online store (www.gamesharkstore.com), consumers in the UK are now able to access the European store via a link from www.gameshark.com or directly via www.gamesharkstore.net to purchase Mad Catz, Saitek, JOYTECH and AirDrives branded products, as well as products featuring brands licensed by Mad Catz.  Relevant products from companies outside of the Mad Catz umbrella will soon be offered as well.  The GameShark online store expects to begin shipping to additional European territories in 2009.

Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz commented, “Consistent with our strategy of continuing to increase our European business and online presence, we are now bringing UK customers the same rich, interactive online shopping experience that the GameShark online store brings to our North American customers and we look forward to expanding the Store into other European markets next year.”
