Suggestions/Tips

• Review the Research Primer in this unit as a starting point for your research.
• Narrow your focus to one entertainment group. You may want to just focus on the changes that the Video Game and Board Game industries have had to make or how they have integrated the Web in their strategy, gameplay offerings, and customer experience.
• If you are not already utilizing online entertainment, give it a try! There is nothing like personal experience. Many networks offer free content online. Others offer free trial periods like Netflix or Gamefly.
• If you are very familiar with a certain segment of online entertainment, consider digging into a new entertainment segment to see what is new outside of your comfoft zone. For example, if you are big on online gaming, focus on music/radio.
