As part of the module introduction, GoldStar is bundling the box office smash hit "Total Recall" from LIVE Entertainment Inc. -- a retail value of $49.95.

"The GoldStar GPA511M adds incredible versatility to the 3DO platform," says Jim Ireton, vice president of sales and marketing for the GoldStar Multimedia Division. "The top-rated system in the video gaming universe now expands its reputation as a family entertainment center by playing action packed movies such as 'Total Recall,' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, now stored on digital compact discs. This is truly the future of interactive entertainment."

Built to the Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) standard for hardware video decompression, the new module enables consumers to play full-screen, full-motion videos with true stereo sound. Use of hardware (versus software) decompression ensures the highest quality video playback. Priced at $199.99, the module slips easily into one of the two expansion slots inside the GoldStar 3DO console. The GoldStar GPA511M is available nationwide in late January wherever GoldStar 3DO systems are sold.

Among other video titles now available on compact disc are such box office hits as "Silence of the Lambs," "Dances With Wolves," and "Star Trek II," "III," "IV," "V," and "VI." Also available are music videos by Peter Gabriel, Pete Townsend, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton and other artists. Dozens of additional titles will soon be coming onto the market, as more and more publishers and equipment manufacturers adopt the MPEG-1 standard for video
