Online retail giant Amazon.com has launched a new store focussing on computer and video games. The introduction follows closely on Amazon's new automobile store, launched at the end of August.

The new store claims to offer "the largest selection of computer and video games and accessories available online or off".

Amazon will also offer an online gaming community and information about new and future releases.

Amazon's "Computer & Video Games" store taps into an industry that nearly surpassed the movie industry in revenues last year, with $7bn (about £4.3bn) in the North American market alone.

The store can be reached at www.amazon.com/games.

While full medical records may be of (dubious) value at rear/base medical facilities, these could be provided much simpler by either physical disk or electronic transfer to an "in theatre" database for individuals posted in.
