Tetris TV will take advantage of this technology by offering prizes to top players later in the year.
Additionally, Oberon Media's JIVE technology will allow for the management of Tetris tournaments in future releases. In future releases of the Tetris TV service, subscribers will also be able to compete with other DISH Network subscribers by posting their names and scores to national leader boards managed by Oberon Media's iTV community and service management technology, JIVE®. Marathon has 15 challenging levels of game play, and 40-Lines is a race to clear 40 lines in as fast a time as possible.
