(VAN NUYS, CA) -- As businesses across the country are folding during the recent economic squeeze, Digital Playground, the world leader in adult entertainment, releases the most expensive and comprehensive adult film in history, ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge''.

Even Hollywood's most impenetrable studios are feeling the pinch from a summer that has produced less financially successful films than studio heads hoped for. With a large mainstream budget and dazzling special effects, ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge'' is both an epic blockbuster for the ages, and a sexy, erotic adult film that consumers and distributors are fervent to get a hold of. ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge'' is the most pre-ordered film in adult history and Digital Playground is easily maneuvering through the recession unscathed.

''Just like 'the Dark Knight' recharged the summer Hollywood blockbuster season, I fully expect 'Pirates II' to do the same for the slumping Adult DVD Market,'' states Paul Fishbein, President of AVN, the leading adult industry trade journal. ''In this bad economy, people are going out less and home entertainment is an affordable way to spend leisure time. 'Pirates II' is the most highly anticipated adult release I can remember. Sometimes all it takes is one monster hit to electrify a market. I believe this might be it.''

Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground's CEO says, ''Digital Playground is built around a belief in quality. We put extra time and money into our films, so that consumers continue to return to us for their entertainment needs. The demand for 'Pirates II' is staggering, especially when you consider the state of our economy. Even mainstream and adult home entertainment are suffering financial problems due to the recession and an increase in pirated content. Our sales numbers for 'Pirates II' are the greatest testament to the success of our company.'' Joone, the internationally awarded and highly acclaimed writer/director of ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge'' and Digital Playground's Founder, has an easy answer to Digital Playground's continued success. ''if you make a quality product that people want, they will find a way to buy it no matter what condition the economy is in.''

The top adult distributors in the world all share the same sentiment and excitement surrounding the release of ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge''... IVD (International Video Distributors) agrees. The Director of Public Relations, Alexandra H. adds, ''Pre-order sales for 'Pirates II' have gone through the proverbial roof. Storeowners have been calling their IVD Sales Reps about 'Pirates II' for months, because they say their customers are practically begging for the DVD.'' Debi Yoskey, Buyer for Cleveland's General Video of America, owners of 50 national retail stores, adds, ''I have never given a pre-order to any studio, for any title, in excess of my pre-order for 'Pirates II'. The success for us has been enormous and I don't want to run out.''
