(BARCELONA, Spain) -- Private Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVT - news) worldwide leader in premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet content, announces a significant increase of content released on DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) from 4 to 10 releases a month available in both NTSC and PAL format.

Following the continuing worldwide DVD success, Private Media Group has increased the number of DVD releases to 10 per month in order to expand its market presence and take advantage of the format's incredible growing sales curve. Private Media Group is making available the best titles of its back catalogue together with new top quality content on DVD, creating the best DVD library in the adult market.

In addition to the increase in content released on DVD, all titles will be available in both NTSC and PAL format. Besides providing easy accessibility to Private's DVDs worldwide, it will enable the company to be in the best position to target the huge market that is expected to open after the US and European upcoming release of Sony's DVD-capable Playstation 2 game console. In Japan, during the first 3 days of sales, 1 million units of the new game console were sold illustrating the expected success of the new entertainment box.

With sales of DVD players growing substantially in the first half of this year, the DVD Entertainment Group estimates that 7.5 million homes in the U.S. have DVD players and 5 million or so will adopt the format later this year. According to figures compiled by Ernst & Young, nearly 30 million DVD movies and music videos were shipped in the first three months of 2000. This figure represents a 200 percent increase over the number of titles shipped in the same quarter last year. The DVD player is recognized as the most successful consumer electronics product launch ever.
