D&H Distributing announces that rent-to-own store owners and dealers can take advantage of the popularity of this season's most in-demand (and costly) gaming consoles by purchasing through D&H. The distributor is a one-stop source for gaming hardware including Nintendo's new Wii console, the coveted PlayStation 3 system, and Xbox's 360 technology; plus a wide selection of accessories such as Logitech's wireless controllers and racing wheels.

As a multi-divisional company, D&H offers an array of high-end controllers, joysticks, cables and other accessories in addition to some of the market's most sought-after plasma and LCD display units, such as wide screen and high-def models from names like Panasonic, Samsung, Philips, JVC and Toshiba. D&H also carries gaming titles from more than 30 software publishers, including Capcom and its highly-anticipated "Lost Planet," released on January 12.

"Gaming offers a true opportunity for rent-to-own companies," said Lynn Gorecki, director of business development at D&H Distributing. "Not only is it a wildly successful element of home entertainment, but price and availability have been a serious issue in this category at the retail level. Sourcing through distribution is a win-win proposition for RTO dealers, since it means added benefits like one-stop shopping, personalized support, flexible terms and special promotions."

The Benefits of Sourcing Through D&H Distributing include:

-- Multi-divisional inventory: D&H offers a wide range of consumer electronics products (including large-display plasma and LCD TVs and home theater systems), comprehensive gaming systems, computer products (including media PCs), plus a new housewares and small appliances division—all from a single source.

-- Dedicated customer representatives: The distributor assigns each customer a dedicated account representative to service that company's business on a long-term basis. D&H is renowned for its personalized service, so calls are never routed to a "pool" of salespeople.

-- Favorable credit terms: D&H offers versatile financing programs, including eligibility for the company's "Flex Credit" program's 45-day terms and flooring options.

-- New account rewards: New customers who place an order of $1,000 or more are eligible to receive a $50 VISA card (applicants must meet terms of eligibility). RTO dealers can visit www.dandh.com/v4/view?pageReq=NSNewCust to directly apply as a new customer.
