TORONTO – OCTOBER 13, 2004 - Hip Interactive’s (TSX:HP) wholly-owned subsidiary, ARUSH Publishing, in conjunction with Groove Games, today announced that the highly-anticipated video-game release, “Playboy: The Mansion” has achieved beta status.

Developed by Cyberlore Studios for the PlayStation(R)2, the Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft and PC, "Playboy: The Mansion" is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and is slated to launch during the first quarter of 2005.
“We are thrilled with the progress of the game as we reach beta and look forward to giving gamers the perfect cure for the post-holiday blues with a launch in early 2005,” said Jim Perkins, President of ARUSH Publishing. “’Playboy: The Mansion’ is a glamorous, fun take on the simulation genre and will capture the imagination of those who have dreamed of stepping into Hef’s shoes.”
