Tweeter Launches iPod Trade-In Program Powered by NextWorth; Tweeter Customers Receive Instant Store Credit When They Trade-In iPods at Any Tweeter Store

CANTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 2006--Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWTR) the nation's premier specialty consumer electronics retailer, and NextWorth Solutions, Inc., a leading after-market value exchange provider, today announced a partnership to offer NextWorth's iPod trade-in service at all 153 Tweeter stores nationwide. Together with NextWorth, Tweeter has broken new ground by being the first United States-based retail chain to offer an in-store iPod trade-in program to consumers.

While Tweeter will implement the iPod trade-in service, the company has partnered with NextWorth to execute the program. As founder of the web-based The Great iPod Exchange (TM), NextWorth has a strong history of providing a reliable and valuable iPod trade-in service via the Internet. Its traditional virtual offering will now be complemented by Tweeter's 'bricks and mortar' service.

"Our iPod trade-in program reflects our desire to offer our customers a hassle-free way to capture the current value of their iPods and apply it to new technologies or products they're shopping for," said Jonathan Magasanik, vice president and general merchandise manager for Tweeter. "We accept a customer's iPod in just about any condition, inspect it and award the customer credit - on the spot."

Tweeter's iPod Trade-in service powered by NextWorth is quick and easy. Customers simply bring in their iPod to any Tweeter store and a Tweeter sales associate will use NextWorth's iPod calculator to provide a Trade-in Value for the iPod. The customer will then receive instant credit towards a new iPod or any of the other cutting-edge home and mobile entertainment products available at Tweeter. The value of the customer's iPod is commensurate with its condition and its demand in the marketplace.

"NextWorth is known for its easy iPod trade-in service," said Dave Chen, CEO of NextWorth. "We're extremely pleased to extend The Great iPod Exchange (TM) to a premiere retailer like Tweeter. Together we are providing a valuable new service to their customers."
