NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., May 2, 2007 – Play N Trade Franchise, Inc., one of the
fastest-growing franchises worldwide, today announced the launch of its
first National Guitar Hero II™ video contest and live-in store national
tournament.

From now until June 16, consumers are invited to
submit their Guitar Hero rock videos to YouTube at
www.youtube.com/pntgame for a chance to win an Xbox 360 Guitar Hero
bundle or a $50 Play N Trade in-store gift card, and have their video
posted to the Play N Trade Web site.

“User-generated online
content continues to grow in popularity, and the Play N Trade video
contest is a great opportunity for Guitar Hero fans to show off their
playing prowess and creativity and win cool prizes,” said Yuvi Shmul,
CEO of Play N Trade.

Local rounds of the Guitar Hero II
tournament will be held on June 16 at participating Play N Trade stores
across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. On June 23, local winners will compete
for the title of Play N Trade National Guitar Hero II Champion by
playing “Free Bird” at the “expert” level on an Xbox 360. Local winners
will be determined by single elimination in the best two out of three
matches, and the national champion will be determined by points.

“Guitar
Hero has a huge fan base and is one of the best-selling games in the
country because it is as much fun to watch as it is to play,” Shmul
said. “Contestants in the Play N Trade Guitar Hero II tournament can
live out their rock star fantasy in front of their friends, fans and
family for the chance to be crowned national champion.”

Local
winners will receive a $100 in-store gift card and a “Guitar Hero
Champion” T-shirt. The Play N Trade National Guitar Hero II winner will
receive a multiplayer Xbox 360 Guitar Hero bundle and a $500 in-store
gift card.

User-generated videos must be less than four
minutes long and feature someone playing a Guitar Hero guitar. For more
