3dfxgamers Launches Free Email Service

3dfxgamers mail gives registered users personalized 3dfx email accounts and launches with a prize contest.

3dfx Interactive has launched 3dfxgamers mail, a free email service for registered users of 3dfxgamers.com. Yes, because apparently your inbox needed more Glide energy.

The service gives users a personalized 3dfx email account with standard features including filtering, an address book, distribution lists, storage information, appointments, and task reminders. 3dfx is also tying the launch to a contest with prizes including a leather jacket, beanbag chair, and a 3dfx swag pack.

Subscribers are promised future promotions, discounts, and giveaways. It is a little silly, but this is peak PC gaming branding: if the video card is not enough, make the email address match too.
