Here is an interesting article on Naked Shorting that I got from "someplace else" and shows just exactly how naked shorting really works and how the big crime families in the US are getting filthy rich ... stealing from us, the ones who invest in the small OTCBB companies, and are driving said companies out of business. Read it and weap, because so far the gutless SEC isn't doing anything to stop it. Makes you wonder if they aren't on SOMEONES payroll, doesn't it?
http://sanantonio.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2004/02/02/story1.html
The market-maker "VIEW" was pretty much sitting on the ASK ALL DAY today making it very hard for the price to move upward.
Well until the naked shorting rule comes into effect (which will HOPEFULLY stop a lot of this), the only way we can beat the MMs shorting GZFX is to get more people to buy the stock!
I've increased my position and this would be a great time to tell those friends and relatives that missed the first run-up to get back in at the "bottom"! We'll make the MMs regret ever shorting our stock!!!
I put a modest limit buy in at .06 for 3000 shares. I'm hoping for the usual morning dip to get in, wish me luck.
Does anyone know the RB board for GZFX?
We are still following the ascending triangle, cup & handle formation.
Our last breakout was past the resistence of .06, which carried us to new highs along with very exciting news.
The previous breakout point becomes the strongest support level in this pattern.
We formed a triple top, instead of the usual M-type top, which shows the buying pressure on the up swings is getting more aggressive. Consolidation was needed at these levels as we strayed from the 20 EMA for almost a full month. With such a bullish run, the correction needed to be equally strong.
The .06 base is very strong, and is shown by the 50, but more precise 60 EMA.
Stochastics are showing very very oversold at these levels. We may be in this range for a few more days, but not for very long. Buying pressure is very strong, and anyone watching L2 can see the wide range of Market Makers coming into play.
RSI is starting to turn up, a good indication of mid to long term momentum change.
MACD, though not shown on the chart has appeared to complete its divergence, and will turn and start to converge in the coming days, signaling a reversal.
The amount of volume in the past two days was all on positive spikes or flat price movement. This is an accumulation pattern.
The key resistence point is .10, assuming the pattern continues we should have a gradual climb to this level, and bounce down possibly to .08
Any significant news releases during this time will speed up the process, and increase the volume resulting in more volitile price swings.
>>>>
Since I'm a technical analyst at heart, I am waiting for stokes to cross above 20. I likely will not get the best price, but by waiting I am increasing the likelihood of "geezee" (my nickname for the stock)moving.
For those who don't yet realize this- Monday is the first day of MARCH

-Johnny
There are many others here that can contribute to the TA, and that I've gained some insight from.
With our current situation, when the cup is complete the next projected breakout should be in the range of .15-.16, however that may not be until mid March

So what, you can't sell on the higher highs, and buy on the higher lows? You are posting this but it is way out of context of the trending.

If we were just going by techs, yes that would make sense...however... with rumor of news up and coming, and when news is released the stock will climb and continue to climb. IMO it will not reach those support levels before rumor really starts catching on and driving price up...even tho it sucks right now to be red.

Has anyone seen MM signals lately? 100? 500?
Before you bust a nut, what about VIEW? They have been doing this the whole week. More so than GNET. What I am saying is there is more than one MM doing this. I wouldn't start saying the sky is clear cause it is not. There are several MM's doing this. Mac

You don't have a clue.
Unless you can tell me that all the MM's have died I don't care what news you got. The MM's call the shots. Mac
I can't see this breaking through the .05's with all the support, and techs look good in this range.
JF does like tuesdays...
[This message has been edited by fozzy (edited March 01, 2004).]
Some are expecting news this week. JF is a smart man, and he has many newsworthy items that he can release at any time.
Zo talked with IR and is expecing something momentum worthy this week.
It might make sense: If there were a ton of buys going through but very little sells, could this mean that there was more shares added over the last few days. I'm not sure. Can anyone pull up the transactions for the day?
Still long, just wondering if I should buy more.
Zo, I like the ADPR pick. Keeping it on the radar. Looks good.

When you pay bills with shares ... it is unusual for there to be Restrictions placed on the shares. Only when Shares are used strictly as a financing means, then the shares often will be restricted for a specific amount of time.
Follows is the actual dilution since December 15, 2003

Total dilution between December 15, and February 17 totals 88,118,599 shares regardless of Float.
I don't think the dilution factor to be as significant as most people considering all the progress that has been made over the past two months. It takes $$ and lots of them to put a company together, and so far, it has been done with very little debt incurred ... but hey, who cares about debt...?

if it was people that were paid shares for services, then I could only guess that the shares were "spent for services" a couple months ago when it was 0.025 / share. Even at that price, 88,000,000 * 0.025 = $2.2Million.......
I suppose the real question is...... what did JF buy for $2.2Million????????

FRANKLIN, Ky., Mar 4, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GameZnFlix,

television ad campaign to begin in late March, 2004.

has covered almost every area of the performing arts. Starting as a motion
picture and television stunt man, dancing in many film musicals, his acting
career was launched with a starring role in ABC TV's "Felony Squad" with Howard

in "The Young and the Restless."
He guest starred in a host of television shows, such as "The Love Boat,"
"Charlie's Angels," "Murder She Wrote," "Silk Stalkings," "Pacific Blue" and
"Baywatch," among others. After performing for many years in television, Dennis
became involved in theater when he landed the leading role in the Broadway-bound
show; ALL THE GIRLS CAME OUT TO PLAY. Looking to add yet another dimension to
his career, Dennis performed his own musical revue at the famous Gazzarri's on
the Sunset Strip and at the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Dennis has previously toured with Ray Cooney's British farces: RUN FOR YOUR WIFE
and OUT OF ORDER. His most recent production was as the Narrator in BLOOD
BROTHERS at New York State's Art-Park and most recently played the infamous King
Marchan in the first National tour of Broadway's Victor / Victoria.

Unless another MM is taking his place today. Possibly TDCM?
I just subscribed to Ameritrade's L2 system and I've noticed a strange thing happening on the 'last sale' screen. What happens is a sale will go through for x numbers of shares shaded in green, then almost immediately afterward, a sale shaded in red goes through for the exact same number of shares. Is this just two normal investor transactions (such as you and I) and a mere coincidence, or is this a tell tale sign that the MM's are buying from each other?

Thanks Cabbage, that makes sense.
Look at todays peak for GZFX, all those trades going through on the back half of the peak are buys at .069, but the MM's skimmed some points off because there were sellers that werent being displayed. It also helps you to place more effective limits.

Everyone! That is the beta test site. Get it? TEST SITE. It isn't live. Stop going in there and trying to register. When you see a PR about the new site being available, then you can register. Be patient.
If you want to help them test the new site, send in a resume. Otherwise stay out of it. By screwing around in the test site you will only cause problems and delays. Someone already said they had to have JF remove their credit card info they entered on the test site.

Looks like the competition just came up with a great ideaer..LOL.. To bad so sad..
We all know you are a basher of GZFX and for those that don't, now you know. Do not listen to this MM employee. He either gets paid for this or he is a disgruntled former employee of veegeez. That 24/7 site in no way will ever be any competition to GZFX. Only competition will be Netflix, period. Who is seriously going to take the time to download a movie on their computer and then watch it on their computer. Sounds riduculous. What if you want to go to your friends house and watch a movie, are you going to bring your computer with you. You are nothing but a basher. Try something else man cause this attempt was lame. Mac

Very poor Quality! Period!Got it?You wished you got in below a penny.lol
Didn't realize there was posting going on over here. Well...the more boards for GZFX...the more "exposure". Seems GZFX will be gettin lots more exposure in the coming weeks. Everything is looking awesome so far. Cheers to a good 2004!
I got in at .11 for $1000 - then i got in at .085 for $3000 - and got in at .055 with $13,000, now the 17k is worth 25k, so i'm happy. Wish I could have gotten in under a penny to, but hindsight is 20/20 and my forsight is blurry.

Two days later, the shares had made up more than half the ground they lost earlier in the week after an analysts' day presentation at which the company offered its most aggressive growth estimate to date.
"At Christmas, we told you that Netflix would reach $1 billion in revenue sometime in the 2006 to 2007 time frame. We're now confident that we will reach that mark in 2006," CEO Reed Hastings told the analysts last week. "We're defying one of the laws of gravity. We're actually accelerating [growth], not decelerating as we get larger."
According to its latest forecast, the company will end 2004 with 2.4 million-2.7 million subscribers. Full-year revenue is forecast to reach $480 million-$505 million. Net income for the year is projected to be $4 million-$10 million.
"We have more people coming in at a cost of $35 (per subscriber), so our marketing expense line will be higher," McCarthy said. "But our average customer is worth $70, so over time, it means we're becoming a bigger, more profitable company."
Until recently, the company has relied on online advertising and promotional tie-ins with DVD hardware retailers to generate new subscribers. McCarthy said Netflix had not decided whether to step up its TV ads beyond its current limited schedule.
The high short interest in the stock--as much as 40% of the shares available for trading--tends to increase its volatility, contributing to last week's wild gyrations.
Shares traded late Friday at $33.45.
Netflix is scheduled to report full first-quarter earnings and provide updated full-year guidance on April 15.
The reason I ask, is because I have been in the internet business since 97 and right now I have around 300,000 uniques per day from search engine traffic alone. I am positive I could send GZFX around 200-300 subscribers per day through my own traffic.
An affiliate program is the way to go for any online business. If they choose not to, they will be missing the boat.

It does directly affect the US shares in that it provides another market for the outstanding issued shares. It's sort of the old supply and demand rule and in this case to a point it applies in the fact that there are only so many shares available to purchase. and the more places it is traded or there is a market for these shares as the demand for those shares goes up (buyers) it will put the MM's in a position to raise there asking price and drive the price per share up. This said with the Website coming out Very Soon and a national add campaign just around the corner The more markets this Stock is available in the higher the price should go IMO. Hope this helps and GO GZFX

i think it will be awhile before the site is ready, thats a lot of movies to enter into the database!
Distinguished Hollywood producer/director and academy award winner, T.
Joseph
Coleman, CEO of Sun Network Group, Inc. present at the gathering, stated,
"By
applying the 'NetFlix' model to video games as well as DVD's, coupled with
their
recently acquired video game assets, this should position GameZnFlix as an
industry leader with a loyal, cross promoted subscriber base for both
products.
The online movie and video game subscription business should grow
exponentially
in the next few years."
GameZnFlix, Inc. currently markets its video game rentals through its
wholly
owned subsidiary, www.VeeGeeZ.com and in the near future will be opening a
new
website www.GameZnFlix.com to offer both DVD movies and video game
rentals. The
company has currently has two distribution centers, Los Angeles,
California and
Franklin, Kentucky, with plans for an additional two to three more centers
during 2004.
John Fleming, CEO/President stated, "The company is pleased to have been
invited
to this gathering. These types of meetings will assist GameZnFlix in
meeting our
business plan of becoming involved in the entertainment business during
2004."
For more information contact John Fleming, CEO of GameZnFlix, Inc. ,
+1-270-598-0385 or e-mail IR@gameznflix.com or examine the following
websites:
One thing to consider, read all the PR's closely and you will not find any crap like we are considering this or talking about a possibe this, etc. Some comapnies release the same speculation over and over(anyone drill for diamonds today)to buy the hype. For GZFX, the hype is all solid and confirmed.

Still can't wait till the website opens, signing myself, mom, and brother - and convinced some friends to hold off on signing up with netflix so they can get games.

I emailed the Gameznflix web administrator with 2 questions:
> 1) Are you starting an affiliate program for existing subscribers to bring
in new subscribers and be rewarded (similar to Netflix)?
>
> 2) My sister lives in the U.S. Virgin Islands and is a current Netflix
subscriber. She is willing to drop her Netflix subsription and start a
Gameznflix subsription, however the Gameznflix website does not have a
dropdown for the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. Virgin Islands use U.S.
dollars, and Visa and Mastercards.
> Please let me know what your plans are.
>
> Thanks
Gameznflix sysadmin response:
Dear Sir,
The answer to your question is yes we do plan to offer an affiliate program
for existing subscribers in an effort to bring new subscribers. We unlike
Netflix plan on also offering prizes and rewards for bringing people in.
Each month we may offer a piece of Hollywood memoribillia or autograph as an
example.
We also plan on giving easier access for overseas customers to access currency changes in due time, that includes being able to process fluctuations in the dollar. As far as the US Virgin Islands we will look to include them in a dropdown for payment...
If there are any further questions
please feel free to drop me an email at ir@gameznflix.com

What I did here is take the maket cap and divide by the number of subscribers, which gave me the value per subscriber, multiplied it by 50k, 100k, and 1m to come up with an estimated potential market cap, and divided by the number of gzfx outstanding shares to give an estimate of what the stock could be worth on a subscription based valuation.
Subscription numbers taken from recent press releases, there are probably more now, but market all are off their highs.

As you can see, if gzfx only gets 50,000 subscribers, they will still be undervalued. and siri appears way overvalued, but they're not - think about it and reply!
The chart looks great to me.
Might be joing everyone again next week with this one.

True. I know this is the only one keeping me from loosing my mind right now. I really dont have any cash to get more right now so i would like it to skyrocket.
? for veegeez guys: After adding games into queue, do I have do do anything to get them to send the games, or do they automaticall come from the queue. Sign up saturday morning, but game still don't show shipped.
Here is my take.....
They announce that the national tv advertising will begin on Mar 27th.... What MUST occur before this date you may ask???
The web site must be launched! You have to know this because who would release a TV ad campaign without a product/website?!? That means we will have another PR within the next 12 days announcing the deployment of the next major contender in online DVD rentals!!!!!
On top of that, during the next 12 days, when can the MM's play with shorting the stock with the April 1st deadline looming? Which MM in their right mind would short this thing now when the only direction it will go is up?
For those asking the best price to get in at.... my response is anywhere, just get in! Look at the potential of this stock as compared to NFLX. We haven't even announced the number of new subs for VeeGeez yet. What do you think that would do for pps in conjunction with the DVD launch? The VeeGeez site has been up and running for just over 1 month now.... and wouldn't a PR announcing the % increase in subs just be fabulous! I would bet that it's at least 40% in the TOTAL # of subscribers!
Please note that this is all IMHO, but I strongly feel that it is not too far off the mark!

Just wait for an e-mail from VeeGeeZ...they will send you confirmation,game instruction etc.

CNN CNBC Discovery Lifetime, These are what i heard from another board, I am not sure how reliable it is but its all ive heard.
Assuming a very conservative and average P/E ratio of 25 with revenue of $24M per year (100K subs times 20.00 per month average) then that would bring our PPS to $1.20. That's assuming only 500,000,000 O/S. And this is being very conservative! Based on the popularity and the high 300+ P/E ratio that Netflix has then I think $5 PPS is a very obtainable estimate with those subs and O/S.
I wonder what the Gameznflix catch phrase will be... maybe we should start brainstorming

30 seconds is about the average. Remember, TV commercials are expensive...especially in prime-time slots.

If there are only single copies of every game, this could prove to be a major problem!What is everybody elses thoughts on this?
I can guarantee they will have more than 1 copy of each title. It is called supply and demand. What you should be asking is this.
When a new release is out, there will be a high demand which will mean they need to have a large number of copies on the shelves to meet demands. Now what happens 2-3 months later when that demand for that title levels offs?
What do they do with all the extra titles on the shelves? I'm not sure if they are purchasing the titles or leasing the titles.
If they are purchasing the titles, I'm sure they are purchasing them for pennies on the dollar which means that with the over abundance of copies with any title, they should sell those extra copies at a discounted rate just like BlockBuster does.
The ways to market that idea are endless.
I'm sure they will have a dababase of subscribers that specifies what titles they have rented. So emailing those subscribers offering a purchase of a title at a substancial discounted rate would be very lucerative.
I have been tradeing this stock for a couple of months now. With this purchase it puts me in the free share position with 100,000 sharesand can put them to bed for the long run now.
Should move fast with all the good news happening about the end of the month.
Good luck to all
p.s. My guess it the site will open next monday or possibly friday. There will be bugs that need to be worked out.

I'm wondering what's driving today's surge. Usually it doesn't go up for nothing, so hopefully we'll get a press release tomorrow, maybe something big. But who knows; if people are expecting something to happen and it doesn't, then it will almost certainly go back down.

How is this DD? Or a question that will result in an insightful anwser? Most everyone here believes that this is a real company with real promise and about the farthest thing from a pump and dump on the OTC.
If you and your parnters hold so many shares, why are you just asking this question now?

Wow - I'm impressed.
Just one problem: When I looked at their web site I could not find a single movie title! until you've now listed http://gameznflix.xplorex.com/.
They do show 4 movies on the front page! Great start! But every search I've made came with big Nothing. And I've tried hard (I'm short on nflx after all...:-)
I've searched for Foreman, Polanski, ... then even for Gibson.
In a final desperation: Schwarzenegger came with 1 (one!) movie.
I'm overwhelmed with joy and anticipation :-)
Will this mess up the beta site???

Want pump and dumper check the paid promo sites like S u b w a y.
Most all of the stocks that hire folks like them is someone wanting to dump after or into a pump.
But can you understand that your comments at this time could have been seen as a way to bash this stock and to lower the price? Look at it from that point of view.
Good luck,

But I have not witnessed this in pennies yet myself, only hearsay. This was to hopefully show a difference between the two stocks, GZFX and an actual pump and dump......as a refernce only, but as you see I have not been given any stocks to reference only name calling and some kind of jibberish about move on into mutual funds...! Nice....I prefer to talk in a civil way but it has been my experince that some people can't handle that and therfore I step into the darkness with them and go as base as neccessary
This whole conversation has let me know that there is probably about 5% or less real people to talk to on this board and the rest are pipe dreamers who at the first sign of dark clouds stick their heads in the sand or want to burn a person at the stake like a heretic or witch that has brought them a bad dream or prognostication.

This was my first post today.

A bearish harami candlestick formed today.
This is a different situation. With the news hitting this week which is a for sure thing I would watch this closely. The news is big which will make the stock jump and maybe spike. If you are trying to get in or add to your position I would advise you to watch this closely as when it moves up it will go quickly.
I am holding back on buying another $7,000 and purchase when I feel good about it. However when it starts moving I will have to go all in if I haved not added to my shares already.
I would not advise anyone to try and squeeze out the final tenth of a cent as in the long run it will cost you much more as you look back in a couple of weeks.
Just my opinion.
GZFX is one of the strongest stocks on the OTCBB at this time. GZFX has been moving in an ascending triangle pattern, which is one of the most bullish and recognized stock patterns in existence.
Analysis has been broken down into four sections: A, B, C, and D to make this easier on myself ( jk, you guys know I love this ).
A) Triangle A had a low of .015, and resistance of .06, a difference of .045
Add this to the resistance point .045 + .06 = Target .115
In order for this target to be met, there must be increased volume, which the VeeGeez site launch, and company name change provided for. The target was met, and the stock hit an all time high of .122.
B) Although the all time high is .122, the real resistance point is in the high .11’s. In this triangle the normal cup and handle pattern broke through support. However this downward movement was not due to the consensus of the market, but to the selling of Four Winds’ holdings in the company through a specific market maker, denoted C on the chart. Once this outside pressure was completed (intraday even), the market for GZFX quickly turned.
Based on the most recent support and resistence levels-
Res .11 – Sup .06 = .05 difference, added to breakout point .11 + .05 = Target .16
D) On a more long term scale, the story is much different. Given the amount of attention that GZFX has now, a larger breakout is possible and probable. Some experienced traders have targets of .20, .30, or .40 cents for the short term depending on national exposure.
Based on long term patterns- .11 - .015 = .095 difference. .11 + .095 = Target .205
News On the Horizon-
GameZnFlix will be launching its national ad campaign via TV commercials, and other media starting Saturday March 27th. It is expected that the company’s website will launch prior to that date. This event is likely to provide the stock with enough volume to break all resistance points and reach all time highs, referred to as a “Blue Sky Breakout”.
IMHO the site will be launched early this week, most likely Tuesday. However, prior to the site launch there should be some consolidation possibly back to .09 which is common after hitting a key resistance point, to create the handle in the cup and handle pattern. The test site can be seen at www.gameznflix.xplorex.com
Of course all of this is speculation, based off historic price movements and theories about specific stock chart patterns. Nothing is 100% in the market, especially the OTCBB so do your own DD before investing in any stock.
Summary of Business:
GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC: BB GZFX), a Nevada corporation, is a holding company that currently markets video game rentals through its wholly owned subsidiary, www.VeeGeeZ.com and in the near future will be opening a new website www.GameZnflix.com which will offer both DVD movies and video game rentals. The company has currently two distribution centers, Los Angeles, California and Franklin, Kentucky, with plans for an additional two to three more centers during 2004.
After announcing a new relationship on March 2, 2004 with Ingram Entertainment we will make an attempt to be the largest online movie and game rental company on the web. Our subscriber base is growing 35% to 40% per month
We have access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. At $18.50 a month, Gameznflix subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD Movies and/or games for playstation2, XBOX, Nintendo etc. There are no due dates or late fees. Both the games and movies are delivered directly to the subscriber’s address by mail with a return postage paid envelope from both east and west coast distribution centers. Our "no late fees, no due dates" online movie rental model has eliminated the hassle involved in choosing, renting and returning movies.

That said, is there any other stock out there that has this chance of really being big. I look at the 2 other top boards (Qbid and Ibiz) and I just don't see this kind of shot as GZFX. Not to say I haven't made money on both, I have. But Qbid has a lot of past, hey they may do it right this time or may not and I just don't see the money side of Ibiz. So is there any others out there I should look at.

GOOOO GZFX!
B
agreed...IMAGINE the travesty if they air commercials, and the website isnt even up. That would be a mockery!
LOOK AND FEEL - Highly improved, very Netflix-like (which is good).
CONTENT - Appears to be an excellent movie selection, at first glance, much more varied than Netflix. One DVD I've been looking for is Coupling, UK-version, 3rd season - Netflix doesn't even list it, but I found it on Gameznflix. Even better, GZFX has an enormous selection of apparently soft-core pornography. Say what you will, that's a *huge* draw for the 18-35 male market who might appreciate the opportunity to discretely rent adult titles every now and again. Netflix doesn't even touch that market.
REGISTRATION - Not a huge fan of the way they have people register, but I understand this area is probably under construction.
MOVIE DESCRIPTIONS - Many have no description, those that do are in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (sort of an irritant).
All in all, a big step forward. Have to admit that their content selection is incredible, and it blows Netflix away. Once they're open for business I will drop my Netflix subscription and move over to GZFX straight away. If they can match Netflix for availability and speed of shipping, they've got a winner on their hands.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Mar 26, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- AdSouth Partners, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADPR) is excited to announce that it has successfully retained high-profile, nationally recognized talent for the GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX) summer campaign. With the initial campaign launching on Saturday, March 27, 2004, with Dennis Cole, this second- stage summer campaign will focus more on the game rental side of GameZnFlix and will target America's young people between the ages of 12 to 25. AdSouth's retention of this talent has lead to a significant budget increase by GameZnFlix, Inc. based on a proposed series of 3 to 4 commercials featuring this talent.
AdSouth Partners and GameZnFlix are arranging a press conference to be scheduled for the first week in April in Boca Raton, Florida, with Dennis Cole and our exciting new talent.
John Cammarano, President of AdSouth Partners, Inc., states, "After meeting with the talent agency in New York, I am even more convinced that the talent we have chosen and the proposed series of commercials created by AdSouth Partners, Inc. that GameZnFlix is about to create a new demand in the combined DVD movie and game rental market. The adding of this new talent will continue make GameZnFlix a household name and should begin the process of diverting marketshare from other competitors and bringing new subscribers into the marketplace."
John A****o, CEO of AdSouth, adds, "Making a campaign for a client is like creating a recipe, and we are excited that we have put together all the ingredients and we are going to enjoy the finished product this summer."
"GameZnFlix is extremely excited about the signing of our new talent for the summer advertising campaign. The working relationship between AdSouth Partners and GameZnFlix is working and coming together well. AdSouth understands our company goals and continues to provide the talent and direction GameZnFlix, Inc. needs for the future," stated John Fleming, CEO/President of GameZnFlix, Inc.

Everyone please read this - VERY IMPORTANT
This morning I sent an email to the admin for gameznflix, and a few minutes later got a phone call from Robert Koch, the main IR guy. I promised him not to give out any personal information. There are several things that he ok'd me to say:
1) Please hold off on signing up for gameznflix until the official site is launched. It is actually slowing their progress down on the back, and they would appreciate holding off a little bit until the site is up and running.
2) The games for now will come from VG. The gameznflix site will have DVD's to start with because they have those locked in. they just received the inventory from Ingram so it will probably take about 2 weeks or so to fully integrate games into the new gameznflix site. In the meantime, you can get games from VG, but it will eventually be vertically integrated into gameznflix, once the games inventory is locked.
3) Robert also sent me the prosposed TV schedule for the commercials which is pasted below. This is just the beginning stages:

I hope they get a few more channels going.
I don't understand why people would have gotten out already. You probably bought gzfx because they were going to start the new company similar to Netflix. Then, you get out before the company even really starts doing what you bought in it for. I don't understand why people are getting out of this stock. I think it has awesome potential. Just look at what Neftlix has done.......

View changes to family signing on to computer to subscribe and shows typing of "Gameznflix.com" onto address bar. Then Back to close-up of Cole describing free one-week trial.

That's still the same thing I was looking at several minutes ago. the site is www.gameznflix.com correct?
I noticed another obvious mistake. The Great Escape is one of my favorite movies. I know for a fact it was made in 1963. Gameznflix however has it listed at 2004. I am not too happy with these mistakes.

In fact I just clicked on the drama tab and got a japanimation film first, followed by childrens movies then comedies...and some horror and music DVDs thrown in there too. More importantly...NOT ONE DRAMA.

I think once the money starts coming in and the new spokesperson they will talk about the first week of April will be the main ads for the younger target group. Hopefully then they will go with a broader Tv target.I think we have a winner here and those that get out early will be kicking themselves next year.

Often John has used the term crawl, walk then run. Personally I believe there is more to all of this then we understand. I do feel comfortable with the step by step progress.
Good Luck to all and I am a firm believer that we will see some good profits in both the short and long term.

For example, if 50 thousand, or any good number, sign up this weekend, I'm sure there will be a PR that will drive up the price a little.

fifty thousand? are you on drugs? 5 thousand would be incredible for the first weekend!
Real Products out and availible with working site, On the Ground Floor, Company outcome plans; right on target, National Commercials, Rapid increase of subscribers, offering more than its competitor Netflix-Symbol (NFLX) with more movie titles, and GAMES-which Netflix does not even offer. Check out the charts on Netflix, it hit a high of $39.77 last month!! DVD and Game rentals is a Multi-Billion dollar market, with a record increase of sales every year by the millions. Blockbuster is already loosing customers over too many late fees, with people looking for a more convenient way to rent movies. Folks, GZFX, (Ground Floor) mind you.. is a No Brainer! I can see this one race up to over the dollar bracket in the near term, and much higher long term racing up to Netflix levels in the following years. This is one solid beautiful stock, and I am proud to own it for the long! I cant wait to see how rapid this company will grow by next year! I'm really excited about this one. Dont even have to worry about MM Short sellers come April 1st. Plus its a Shell stock!! You cant get any better than this! I dont even know of any other pennystocks that actually has this much potential. Do you? There is too much to be excited about on this gem. This baby is going to gain popularity in no time. Watch and see.. I'm on this train, and holding on. Its going to be a hell of a ride up! Good luck to all!!

I don't do the drug thing. Never had and never will. 50,000 was just my example, but like I wrote, any good number ( like 5,000 ) would be a great PR. I'm not sure what expectation the company has for the first weekend. I'm just glad to be in on the ground floor. :-)

2. The site is ACTUALLY, realistically, gaining subscribers. Numbers dont lie, and with a growing number of members, the PPS has to rise (IMHO).
3. I think the run last week was due to anticipation of a good campaign weekend. If the weekend goes good, then thats the soar all of us are looking for. GLTA
Everything.. IMO
B
And why is NetFlix going to see a serious hit in market share. If I was a subscriber to Netflix right now, why would I change? 1 dollar less per month and game rentals would not make up for an established name as the pioneer in the business. If I saw the commercial and went to gameznflix.com, not only would I see a website that is literally almost exactly like Netflix with different colors, but if I explored the site to get the feel of it I would find buggy searches and other problems. They honestly should have delayed the release of the website. If you want people to SWITCH away from a solid company they trust, it takes alot more than a dollar per month.

This is a good company who can learn from past mistakes. I just hate people saying things like "NetFlix is about $30" as if we are supposed to be valued anywhere near that price. And currently I think it might correct a little from these prices down to .13 or so before another move but I may be wrong.
Its nice to hear the voice of reason every once in a while... I agree with you, the PPS will inevitably rise, but it will NOT happen overnight.

So you see, this TV ad is aimed at the adults who will rent DVD's and the next ones will target younger people for the games. You guys should read the PR's more closely.

I dont believe that the dates for the DVD's reflect anything. For instance, I looked at Days of Thunder and the date was 2004. I have had this DVD for at least two years. Needless to say, they have alot of work to do. Which is to be expected from a new company.
As to whether this company has a future, that's no longer in doubt.

PR meeting at Bong. This is what I heard and is my personnel opinion and views of the company and where it can go. Please do not ask a lot of questions and just read between the lines. I feel very strongly and positive after seeing and hearing what the future of GameznFlix is headed and as a shareholder I liked the total package presented today! Here is a brief summary from each.
1)Ben Curtis ststed that they will be launching him in the new GamezFlix Commercials in May! Per his quote he said "It will blow you away in May! He is very good speaker and will be a awesome spokesperson for GameznFlix and our younger generation that know him as the Dell Dude (steven) and as the new spokesperson and his new image he will be able to attract many new subscribers to GamezFliz as well as even getting many of the 2 million subscibers of Netflix to switch over to GameznFliz when they see the double value they will be getting with Video ganes included that will be HUGE for kids. Ben is very excited to be the National Spokesperson for GameznFlix and also is a huge video game player himself and see's the direction and new level through his upcoming commercials and past DELL popularity can make GameznFlix a household name.
He also had his head shaved because he just got done filming two major movies that he was the MAIN lead star in both films (does not get better than that, this will get him more PR popularity in magazines and talkshows) and will also help get the GameznFliz name marketed.
2) The PR firm has covered both bases getting Ben and Dennis signed on for all age target markets. As a shareholder in this company I strongly believe hearing from the CEO the PR Firm, Ben & Dennis that we have a strong dynamic company and great PR marketing campaign that will further generate more interest in both new GameznFliz subscribers and future investors.
3)Dennis Cole looked awesome and GameznFlix has already started airing thier commercials with Dennis on Bravo and Lifetime Networks at 7 & 11pm EST. He is the GamezFlix spokesperson that he will be strictly targeted to mainly housewives and single moms that will attract more household family groups.
4)The CEO stated that he knows this market and see's the enormous potential growth and that GamezFlix will be a competitor to Netflix and will be able to compete against them and offer more services (including games & audio) and cheaper membership rates than Netflix. He also stated that Netflix has paved the way for the last 5 years and this will help to get GameznFlix better marketed fasted to the public that already know this market.
Thats a brief rundown of everything I heard and saw and like I said I liked the total package and presentaiton.
In my opinion this will be HUGE,
I can only compare it like this
Home Depot vs Lowes
McDonalds vs Burger King
Microsoft vs Apple
We are next!!!!!!!!!!
GameznFlix vs. NetFlix
Now if you want to update the comparisons look at XMSR & SIRI. Like Netflix niether has shown a profits both are trading on future potential!

You're right about that comparison to our nearest competitor.
As you said, look at Netflix!
I've said it before, sometimes things are every bit as simple as they appear.
GZFX appears to be a winner.

You receive an envelope mailer ($0.60 postage)... http://www.rockbats.com/photos/GZFX1.JPG
You rip open the front flap, and the DVD is enclosed in one of those nylon sleeves... http://www.rockbats.com/photos/GZFX2.JPG
Notice that the same envelope is the return envelope... just rip off the top flap, re-seal, and drop off at the Post Office.
This is GREAT!
Good Luck To ALL!!!

Written by trade2one
Apr 4th 2004.
One Year projection: Stock price = $73.00
I actually wrote this two weeks ago, however, now that more figures are exposed it compelled me to post this.
Corrections and more accurate figures are welcome. Hopefull the Pro Jwhite will get ahold of this and revise accordingly.
Here is my best guess to why.
REVENUES:
Let's assume that GZFX only sells 20,000 memberships per month. That is $18.50 x 20,000 = $370000 x 12 = $4,440,000 per year(this is based on us only obtaining 240,000 customers within a year at the lowest subscriber rate). This represents a revision to the short term subscriber level of 100k users by year end predicted by GZFX. However, as media exposure kicks in, brand recognition is established and popularity propels user incentive to join, numbers in this figure may be revised, probably upward.
Valuation:
1. Memberships
Since pps is based on future profits we will use the $18.50 figure. $18.50 x 20,000 = $370,000 per month.
$370,000 x 12 = $4,440,000 per year
2. Growth
New Distribution Center Costs could range from an additional 20-40% increase to the bottom line. Let's take the 40% figure because GZFX will be new to areas without much leverage at first for strong negotiations.
.40 x $4,440,000 = $1,776,000
Note: this figure will come down once they become more efficient
3. Overhead/Distribution
My best guess, the distribution cost may be around $1 per CD initially and .50 cents once volume kicks in.Lets assume the average user will utilize around 10 CD's per month based on the "3 at a time" rule for 18.50
3 / 30(avg # days in a month pr year) = 10 cds per month at $1 = $10 mth per subscriber
$18.50 x 20,000 x 12 = $4,440,000 total revenue
$10 x 20,000 x 12 = $2,400,000 cost basis per subscribers
Total costs (growth and maintaining current subscriber base) = $ 4,176,000
Earnings = Total Revenue - Total costs
Earnings = $4,440,000 - $4,176,000 = $264,000
Dillution:
Total outstanding shares = roughly 540 Million.
Earnings per share = $264,000/540,000,000 = 4.88 per share.
Note: This is only taking into consideration the lowest subscriber fee, not any of the other subscriber plans. Assuming only 20K per month subscription rate. There is also buzz of our service being offered in Europe (highly likely with that as homebase for Virgin) plus shipping to Canada as well. Our subscriber base could grow exponentially once the word is out at full steam.
Use a very conservative P/E = 15. This is very conservative for an internet growth stock (think amazon, ebay,etc.)
pps = P/E x Earnings per share
pps = 15 x 4.88 = $73
------------------
whizknock
A lot of things are actually messed up with that. look at his Overhead/Distribution cost estimates. If he is thinking that distribution costs are 1.00 and is applying this to each movie each person rents, he didn't take any overhead into account. I honestly do not think these numbers can be nearly correct. Think about it, all of the execs and employees must be paid accountants and Information tech and everything else. These are indirect costs, which would almost definately be applied to the number of subscribers. The only thing that would change with the number of movies sent are the variable costs....which are shipping costs. I am sure the hours the employees at the distrubution centers work are based on the number of subscribers...as subscribers increase the number of employees increase (or hours worked).
Gameznflix is at a crucial point. They need to monitor the cash inflow and not screw things up. If you have noticed, NFLX waited until now to air a tv program and are losing a lot of money by airing the campaign and offering one free month. I say GZFX is at a crucial point. You all know that..we need subscribers. I am 99% positive, that no matter how rough the ride is over the next couple of months, once the summer ad campaign airs, things will pick up BIG TIME.
One thing I noticed is the envelope that gzfx sends its movies in. I wish they would personalize the envelopes a little more like Netflix has. Not that it matters, but it would be better I feel. Although that is one extra cost they don't need to incur at this moment.
I don't know if I got my point across it is late and I don't know if I even finished thoughts. Hopefully you all understand this.

After he took flak for his rediculous calculations he posted this:
"LOL, the numbers were there to be adjusted. Base no bearing the true PPS on any of the calculations provided. My bad and have seen the errors of my ways. Please accept my humble apologies."
This is a great company guys. BUT IT IS NOT, AND WILL NOT EVEN HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF BEING AT NETFLIX'S PRICE FOR 5 YEARS+, IF EVER.
I am trying to avoid new people coming in and buying, then being disappointed after beleiving some of this stuff. This is a gamexnflix board, not a netflix board, you dont even need to mention that company, expecially its pps.

I do believe that over the course of this calendar year, Whiz's monthly subscriber number of 20,000 will be reached and likely surpassed. So his estimated gross sales figures along with consumer sentiment and advertising buzz may well push this stock price similar to SIRI, EAG or HIET over the next 12 months. No, not to 70+/share lol...but certainly to levels at multiples of where it closed on Friday.

Just so everybody is clear on this, Whiz did not write that post. Go look at it again and read the first couple sentences, especially the one that says "Posted by..."
And yes, I do think we will reach the 20,000 subscribers per month. We will start out slow and that number will grow exponentially almost, to a point, then the growth should continue a slow upward trend.
Our next biggest competitor will be wal-mart (if and when they start their internet movie site) and that could be a major problem. I have heard that Wal-Mart plans to charge around $14 per month, and they will have advertising out their #####... So hopefully this thing takes off before that happens.

Bo I saw the math mistake as well but I didn't write that piece. Just wanted to share it with others because much of it may come to pass.
More to the point Bo, I agree with you about SIRI. I made a mint there & sold too early. That lesson will serve me well with this stock because the same dynamic is in place. Very successful prior launch of competitor & as you pointed out genuine potential!

These are statistically sound numbers and are quite significant. The word is definitely getting out. Wait until they start the affiliate program. If they offer a decent commission or bounty, you will see hundreds of game web site promoting them. Thats when the cash flow really starts taking off.

and i thought this is the winning one..and so i cuddled it and taking care of it.

I won't concern myself with trading this. I have dicipline & patience.
For those of you that are looking at this from a long point of veiw. There's a road map! Netflix! An excellent comparison would be XMSR & SIRI! Netflix has demonstrated that this is a working business model that people are willing to invest in & there's definately room for two. Think about it, GZFX is underway. Some of you already rented DVDs.
Even if we under perform the SIRI comparison we will easily see a dollar a share with this. Furthermore I believe we see that buck before the year is out. That is just my very humble oppinion!

May there be many profits to come from GZFX!
Believe me! I will be very happy if you're correct because I'm in an accumulation stage with this one & refuse to let go of anything else I'm holding. At the very least I want to do one more buy at these levels. If GZFX could stay here two more weeks I would get a few more buys in. At that point I would be set.
I like holding a core position in an obvious growth stock. This one is almost insulting it's such a no brainer. The only challange I see is loading up before I run out of time. Not a question of if, only when GZFX will go through $1.
Sitting at .12 a share,,,,,,,,,,,

Whiz is right. Many doubters when Sirius started and look at yesterday. Just announced they will be factory installed in Chrysler vehicles!! Watch that to take off. There's definately room for two. Personally, I wonder how quick we will rise, with the o/s it may be a slow climb but everything looks good so far. Can't wait to see some ###'s -Jay
I think GZFX has something with the Dell dude that Netflix never offered and thats exposure. No one knows for sure but I think this will make a big difference and help grow the company a lot faster then Netflix ever did and where would they be right now if they really advertised.
Well, I guess we won't know for sure until the summer ads start rolling out and the membership numbers start rolling in but I am pleased with there ad guy and I hope they can get the message out. Sign up now for GamezNFlix.

We only have 415 million out standing & 250 million float. I don't see that holding us back. I'm invested in a few that make that look small. QBID is running & making me a mint & their OS is staggering compared to this little bit. Again, using SIRI as my model, I was on that when they went through a buck & their OS at that time was over a billion. This is an up & running business & it will make us look like we're smart eventhough kids can see this comming. Like I said, this one is so easy it's embarrassing.
------------------
whizknock
That wasn't what I was stressing anyway. Others tend to worry about it and yes GZFX has 8 times as many shares as Netflix. What I was saying though was that GZFX, I think, has a better approach to advertising and it could, mind you, could mean faster membership growth than Netflix had.

Yea... I know what you mean... and have been watching this one closely for some time. Planning on holding until next year or big numbers anyway, so might as well not risk it and just buy more on the dips. I truly think this company has incredible potential, and only wished I had stumbled across Allstocks a couple months sooner!
AdSouth and GameZnFlix to Begin Production of Ben Curtis Ad Campaign
Thursday April 8, 10:16 am ET
BOCA RATON, Fla., April 8, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Directly after the news conference held at the new BONG restaurant on Palmetto Park Road in downtown Boca Raton the management teams from AdSouth Partners, (OTC BB:ADPR.OB - News) and GameZnFlix, Inc.

Mr. A****o, further states, ``The current campaign airing nationally on Bravo, Court TV, DIY(Do It Yourself) Network, Lifetime Movie Network and others is laying the groundwork with the adult female audience (mothers).

We feel it is important to establish the name with parents prior to the summer campaign. Creating the acceptance by parents of the children using GameZnFlix is the first step.''
GameZnFlix, Inc.(OTC BB:GZFX.OB - News) is a company that offers both DVD movies and video game rentals on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. At $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and or games with no late fees or due dates. For more information log onto: (http://www.gamezflix.com)

No they are not related, and you can only have out 3 movies at a time...when they said order as many as you want...that means as many times as you can get them watch them and send them back.

Just curious, did they have to order it because somebody else had already ordered it? Or did they order it because you wanted it and they didn't carry it? If it is the latter, I must say that is rather impressive. If they continue to order movies that are requested but not in their stock they will have a much larger selection than Netflix. I don't think netflix does this...

I'm hoping that's the case. From what I understand they already had a library bigger than Netflix but I could be wrong on that.

Thanks for trying our service. Currently, the programming staff is uploading the new game data base. This should be finished by the end of the coming weekend. At this time, I have directed the accounting department to NOT charge anyone until the new game data base is up and running. After the new game data base is up and running GameZnFlix will start the Trial Period for all of those who have already joined. At that time, an e-mail will be sent to all those on the trial basis to inform you that the period has begun.
Until then we ask that you try the DVD service and please allow for the company’s growing pains.

When the time nears for the Dell Dude ad this things run will make the last television campaign run look weak.
You're right but the really good news is that most people do not even realise this company has already accomplished their hardest goal. They've launched their business! Everything from here on out is simply a matter of ironing out the glitchs & building a subscription base.
While it has become the task at hand to build a subscriber base Netflix has just issued a PR saying they're raising prices. This couldn't have happened at a better time for us.
Yep. The hard part is done. From here on out it's gravy, merely a matter of growing the business. The Dell Dude will be pumping our stock legally on TV no less all Summer & my guess is our sub numbers show steady improvement. This srock was such a no-brainer it's actually embarrasing.

However, as a customer of GZFX, I'm having some issues.
I signed up with GameznFlix a little over a week ago after being with Netflix for about a month or so.
Here's my experience.
Netflix:
- Online status of movie queue, what is out, what is coming in, etc. Email verifications as well of all shipments sent and received.
- Receive all DVDs within 3 days.
- Netflix receives DVDs from me within 3 days. (ok, that's due to location, but it's good)
- So far have had excellent service.
- Downside is that they are going up to $22/month.
GameznFlix:
- Signed up a little over a week ago and setup a movie queue.
- Have not received a single DVD in a little over a week.
- Absolutely no status whatsoever on their website as to what is happening with my account other than it is active.
- I did receive an email saying my account was active, but I have seen nothing happen. I have received no movies at all.
So far, I'm not impressed. I am calling them Monday to see what is going on.
I really hope that they can do well. I think there needs to be more competition in the internet DVD rental market. But, from what I've seen so far, I have received no service at all from these people. I'll see what happens when I call them Monday.

I have been in this stock for 7 months now, made a good profit, but I am staying in this because I believe it has a promising future. I could see this one in the .11 cent range this week, and then start inching back up as the new commercials are expected.
As a customer, give em a chance for a while longer. I have already noticed improvements in their website and communications. As a stock holder, I think this one will be at .20 soon, mid-may is my prediction. If you have any problems, email or call them. They are actually very good at communications. Good luck, Buddy.

The chances are that you requested titles that are available from our Distributor and have been ordered and not yet arrived. The Company started with the top 1,000 titles in stock and 27,000 titles available to the members. We are building the inventory based on members’ requests.
When these titles arrive they will be shipped to you within 12 hours.

netflix.com is ranked 313th for most internet traffic and has an average of 1.9sec load time
according to alexa.com
this puts netflix.com above walmart, ebay.com, microsoft.com, and others
gameznflix.com just got their new website not too long ago and are still a new company and new name in the market scene
just give them time
even if gameznflix isn't better than netflix they will still get better every month this year and prob the next
this means good profit reports if they get rolling with this add campagne and pick up some more customers
nothing but room to improve
i concur with the .2 estimation for mid may
it could even go higher
i might get some more soon too
i consider this a good intermediate to longterm postion (as far as penny stocks can be)
most graphing sites are reporting the charts as bullish

They market cards typically... but what REALLY caught my eye was they recently aquired Quality Of Life Marketing which is a network marketing company. The thing is, they rent/ sell DVD's and GAMES!
Has anyone heard of this? I went to their website, and I'll be damned if I can find out exactly how one actually RENTS the games or dvds. I was just curious about this as I guess in a fashion competition to GZFX. I'm of course not worried about GZFX... just curious. Is it a rental through the mail thing like Netflix? I can't tell! Has anyone else heard about this?
Thanks,

For the most part I'm set with this stock & only watch to buy on dips. I'm done with my heavy buying & will continue to accumulate.
They have already launched & now everything is simply a matter of working out problems, building their library of product & getting subscriptions. In short everything is a matter of time!
I'm a true long term investor & will not sweat this stock. No pressure. It will be a long slow, steady climb to a dollar & beyond.
Unless of course there's alot of excitement when you see Ben Curtis, Prime Time, on your TV telling everyone....

I am not understanding this. It says 6 movies/games 14 months if paid annually. Does this mean that if I send them 222 dollars right now I will get 14 months of rentals..and be able to rent 6 movies or games a time? If this is so, how is that payment annually? Anyway, am I correct in my reasoning? I have yet to switch from Netflix to Gameznflix, but if this is the case there, I will switch in a heartbeat.
GZFX - From Briefing -
15:03 ET GameZnFlix finds interest on CNBC profile of former Dell Dude (GZFX) 0.12 +0.008: GameznFlix, a company that offers both DVDs and video game rentals for a monthly $18.50 fee, was just mentioned on CNBC because the former Dell Dude, Ben Curtis, is the co's new spokeperson (hired March 30). According to the company, the three humerous commercials are currently in production which will appeal to a young demographic, aged 12-25 years. They will begin airing in early May in a national campaign to kick off the summer. Note, this is a bulletin board stock and is speculative, today's volume is nearly 8 mln shares.
Can't see this one coming back down again.. we'll be trading at higher levels as the commercials premiere in a couple weeks. And then the subscriptions will start to come in. People will make the switch from NetFlix and we are going to be happy investors. In my humble opinion.

This is why I keep accumulating. NetFlix split 2 for 1 to $37.30 on 2/12/04. That was a forward split, their high was over $60 from what I understand. I could be wrong but pretty sure this is good information.

So before the adds air, I am guessing that they will open up a movie dc on the West Coast (my movies currently come from Tennesse, very slow) Also the sight is slow, but if anyone has noticed it is getting faster. They want it to be fast before the adds start and they are working on it. You guys should all be happy that JF has decided to wait until June. Why? Because of the cliche, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Also, if you noticed, we started getting billed today. Revenues are coming in. As for the subs, don't worry about the sub numbers. They are growing, and you will hear about them I am sure when the 2nd quarter numbers are released. That might not be until July or August but I believe you will like what you hear and see. For you people that bought in at .17 to .13, please don't worry. Your investment will pay off soon. Just be patient as JF is working around the clock to get things in order. If you want a good example, just look at the website and notice the subtle positive changes taking place on it every day. Especially notice how it is getting faster. (That was one of the top complaints of the site) I did buy in relatively low here but I do remember the days and sometimes weeks, when the current pps was dipping below my original buy in price. What a nervous feeling. I couldn't sleep. So I know what some of you are feeling. Just know that you made the right choice. I have never sold a share and I don't plan on selling one for at least a minimum of two years. Why? Because I think we will be the next Burger King of the DVD/Game rental business. McDonald's (NetFlix) has already paved the way for us. Whatever amount of disposable income you have, forgo the extras right now and put it in this stock while it is in the low teens. One day, sooner than later it will be at least a $1. One day we will not be traded on this exchange. One day you will be able to look back at this moment in the life of the company and just be amazed at how far it has come. When I started investing in this back in early December, they weren't even talking about renting movies. We all had no idea. Just some small game rental company that was going to be coming out with a new "game website". Well look where we are now. What will we all be saying in five years with this company? "I never thought it would grow into this?" That is what I think I will be saying. This stock is nothing but a winner. It will have some bumps like we are going through with the delay of the website but soon it will run right over those bumps like they weren't even there.
"Why? Because I think we will be the next Burger King of the DVD/Game rental business. McDonald's (NetFlix) has already paved the way for us."
I agree 100% Netflix is our road map! They've already done all the market research & put a successful game plan in place. That's why they're trading at plus $25 a share after a forward split. If we hit a dollar within the next year that will just be the begining. This compares very well to the SIRI/XMSR example.

Title: Dell Dude is gettin' a different job
Ben Curtis, who played the hyper, computer-savvy Steven in Dell commercials, has signed on as the spokesman for Gameznflix.com.
Continued on page 2.
Follow-Up File on Page2:
Ben Curtis
The dude is back.
Ben Curtis has done a lot of growing up since he played a hyper, computer-savvy teenager named Steven in a series of Dell Inc. commercials. His catchphrase - "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" - drilled itself into television viewers' heads.
Dell put the Steven character on hiatus in 2002, saying it wanted to take a different direction in its advertising. Any potential for a reprise of the character was ruled out when Mr. Curtis, 23, was arrested in New York last year after officers caught him buying a small amount of marijuana. Dell quickly removed itself from any association with Mr. Curtis.
With that learning experience behind him, Mr. Curtis has spent his time juggling school, theater productions and films. Now he has signed on as the spokesman for another company - movie rental Web site Gameznflix.com.
"I'm ready to show America what I can do beyond Dell," he said. "I'm glad to have a second chance as a role model."
The marijuana arrest came at a pivotal time in Mr. Curtis life as the New York University acting student was adjusting to the stresses that fame can bring.
"Dell hit really hard, really fast," he said. "I was failing classes because I wasn't in New York enough."
After the arrest, Mr Curtis took six months to concentrate on school and reflect on the whirlwind he had been through.
"What really hit me is, I've always known I'm a role model, but my actions really do have an influence on people younger than me," said Mr. Curtis, who is originally from Chattanooga, Tenn.
"Having the experience of someone who goes to jail was quite an experience. In some ways, it's good to have that under my belt as an actor."
Mr. Curtis then joined a street theater group protesting the Iraq war. In one skit, called "Dude, You're Getting War," he repositioned the Steven character as a warmonger.
"I've never seen more people stop in their tracks on the street," he said.
In May 2003, he produced and starred in an off-Broadway revival of The Indian Wants the Bronx, a one-act Israel Horovitz drama. He took the play to the Edinburgh International Theater Festival last summer.
He plays the lead role in the feature-length Spy: The Movie, a "romantic psychological thriller," Mr. Curtis said.
The Gameznflix deal will help him finish up his degree, he said, then he'll be free.
"I see myself in movies and on Broadway," Mr Curtis said. "My dream is to be able to do what I want to do."

First off this is good that Veegeez comes up on Google. It is especially promising that it comes up as a Sponsored link. When you click on it it takes you to the GAMENFLIX website.
Management needs to change there information with google so veegeez doesnt come up. We need Gamezflix to come up when this search is entered. Also we need GamezFlix to come up when all four of these searches are entered.
Once this is accomplished our subscriber base will sky rocket. Google is the primary means for search on the net and we need to be highly visable on this search engine.
We also need to put banners on video game websites such as IGN.com and GAMESPOT.com.
We also need to push the $15 for 6 DVD/games out at one time in our advertising.
I think this strategy combined with the "dell due ads" will help us take over the market.
It wont be long until he is know as the "GamenFlix Dude"
Get on this now.

News Alert -- Pink Sheets:GEGP -- Wall Street Futures Gives GEGP its Highest Rating
Thursday April 29, 9:33 am ET
DALLAS, April 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wall Street Futures, a leading news source for small-cap investors, has given Gold Entertainment Group, Inc. (Other OTC:GEGP.PK - News) its highest rating of ``Strong Buy'' on recent news that the company will launch its much-anticipated multi-level marketing (MLM) subsidiary next month. Wall Street Futures identified the home entertainment sector as a long-term growth industry last week and is now closely monitoring GEGP as a company that small cap investors may want to continue considering in this space.
This week, GEGP announced the addition of two MLM industry veterans to the company's management team, as well as plans to launch its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quality of Life Marketing, Inc., on May 10. Quality of Life will rent and sell consumer DVD and video game products through an independent network of distributors and an interactive Web portal. Its 5,000 DVD and video game titles are more than twice that of the traditional video store.
Francis Fytton, Gold Entertainment CEO, indicated that the company already has engaged dozens of experienced distributors who have reserved their positions in advance of the launch.
The success of Netflix (NasdaqNM:NFLX - News) has proven the efficacy of the online sales and rental model for the home entertainment industry and it has dulled the outlook for traditional DVD and video rental companies like Viacom (NYSE:VIA - News), Blockbuster (NYSE:BBI - News), and Hollywood Entertainment, each of which carries significant real estate burdens. Wall Street Futures believes that Netflix's decision not to enter the video game market creates an opportunity for another player to establish itself as the one-stop resource for all DVD and video game products.
ADVERTISEMENT
Wall Street Futures also believes the MLM model will help GEGP reduce its marketing costs significantly, suggesting greater returns for the company's shareholders. GEGP shares began trading two weeks ago at $0.50; the current share price under $0.45 should attract many investors looking for leverage in this space.

I just got off the phone with a woman by the name of Lisa in Investor Relations. She stated she "heard yesterday" that the Ben Curtis ads are scheduled to begin in 2 1/2 weeks.
I gave her my phone number. She will attempt to confirm this and call me back.
I also called AdSouth. They declined to comment.
I think some good things are on the horizon. Especially if they can get the search engine rankings taken care of!
It turns out that the DVDs I queued up had to be special ordered. That in itself I think is really nice for them to do. Kudos for the special order service. Although, some notification of sorts would have helped avoid confusion and frustration.
I'm sticking with these guys. It looks like they are doing everything they can to take care of their customers. The website is looking better. I can now see a status of my orders like I do on Netflix. An email would be nice too letting me know when they get the returns and when they are shipping out. Perhaps that feature is in the works.

I have only received 1 game in the past 2 weeks from GZFX.
I'm not being negative so please don't jump on me. I own regular stock and am invested in the PPM, so I am in this long. I'll let you know how long it takes to get the movies. I live in Tampa, FL and I think netflix has a dist. center in Orlando.
The law of supply and demand tell me that gzfx will move higher!
Im in long term
I mentioned GEGP about a week or so ago in relation to GZFX. No one had heard of it nor did they seem particularly concerned. Personally I am having a tremendous sucess with my own MLM home business that I started in the last few months. I think it's really an excellent business model... I think people really tend to underestimate them. However I am always a little skeptical of MLM's that go public.
There are always exceptions though, look at AVON! And I believe there are a few others. If this company treats their reps right, it could be an excellent investment in my optinion. I'm pretty new at the stock thing though... so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Speaking as one though who is trading on the market and also works in the MLM industry, I think GEGP needs some looking into. If you come up with any good DD let me know. Lol... the way I've been doing it is I've been building a nice side income for myself through my business and I take a portion of that and I reinvest it into the market... in an IRA. Working for me thus far.
Anyhow... I will keep an eye on GEGP. My opinion right now though is that you should focus on GZFX for the time of being as it has a lot on the front burner that could make it explode in a matter of months. GEGP, being what it is... will take a while to grow as is the case with most MLMS. However, when it does... it could really pay off.

If NFLX is McDonald's and GZFX is Burger King, then where does GEGP fit in to this picture? I just came across this stock tonight for the first time. Why is it trading highe than us? Anyone familiar with this company's mission and do you think it will affect GZFX in any way?
I signed up on Thursday night. Got an email Friday that all 3 had been shipped and should receive on or about Monday. All 3 were delivered TODAY Saturday!
Tough act to follow.
Timeline
February - A new Business model and direction
March - Site developed and startup site - It's live
April - Commercials going games added by the end of the month
May - working out bugs
June - Ben Curtis commercials and a great future for us stock holders.
Rick
Just getting an idea of what the comp. is doing and where we need to be heading.
I have a lot of faith ($) in the GZFX people.
Jay
But really, I guess the best answer is they are working out the bugs and gearing up for the Ben Curtis commercials. I think everyone is just holding on till the next PR and commercial release knowing then it will run.

Dell 'dude' Benjamin Curtis
Leslie Gray Streeter
Cox News Service
Apr. 3, 2004 12:00 AM
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Dude, you're getting ... an Internet-based DVD and video game rental service?
Totally.
Ben Curtis, best known for rejoicing in each dude who got himself a Dell computer, is now promoting Gameznflix.com, a locally based service that rents movies and games with no late fees. At a news conference Wednesday at Bong, an Asian fusion restaurant in Boca Raton, the 23-year-old Method-trained actor and Tennessean discussed the persistence of catch phrases, the 2003 marijuana bust that ended his Dell gig (charges were later dropped), and his plans.
Question: So ... Bong, huh?
Answer: It's a restaurant! And the name of an ancient Asian vessel to carry water. (Laughs) No, really, I'm ready to look (the pot bust) in the face, and what better way to do it?... I made a mistake. I'd now like to be a responsible role model.
Q: Is the Gameznflix campaign anything like the Dell ads?
A: I don't know if I'm supposed to say more than that we're developing a character who's like Steve the Dell Dude in the sense that he's enthusiastic about what he's promoting.
Q: Do people still yell "Dude, you're getting a Dell" at you?
A: Yeah. It gets old. You think people would have moved on. I guess everyone wasn't raised in the South. We don't do that. Well, they still yell, but only when they're drunk. Anyway, I already have a Dell. They gave it to me. They treated me very well.
Q: I know you've completed an independent film. Would you consider doing even more ad work?
A: It depends on how my film career takes off. I don't want to be Commercial Boy for the rest of my life.
At these prices, I just bought a boatload more of this stock.

Qbid took off one month before the regular soft launch supposed to have happened and I hope GZFX is taking off earlier then Ben's commercials.Rick
I agree 100%. I just bought more of this yesterday just to be in a better position if it does go! QBID I'm set & will not average up unless it gets crazy & dips back to .005!

your forgeting that netflix has about 51 million outstanding shares. There's no way gzfx could ever hit 30 with 414 million outstanding shares. Believe me I wish they could but looks highly unlikely. I'm betting on $3-$4. Who else agrees with me?

I just want everybody to know that you need to stop comparing the current NFLX with the current GZFX. My family has been in netflix since near the start, and I can tell you it is completely changed now. The website used to be slower, and not as organized, AND MOST IMPORTANT, there was only one or two distribution centers so it took forever to get DVD's. So, this is the stage that GZFX is in, since there is a company that is more developed (NFLX), I know it will take longer for GZFX to get moving along. Do not expect as quick of movement as NFLX had. However, once things catch (Especially the video game part) we should see some nice climbs in pps.
I will admit there is a lot of bugs that need to be worked out, but GZFX is off the ground, and a very well known celebrity will be in their commercials and this will help.
The best advice I can give is that everybody should just not watch this stock at all for two months, then look back. If it is still at .10-.14, then wait two months again. One day you will come back and see it starting its ascent. Don't get too worried in this stage of the game, you will just start questioning your investment. In the end it will pay off, so don't worry people...have a little faith.

Oh I'll look alright. Everytime I'm ready to accumulate more. I'm not selling until we're well above a buck at which point I might just as you say "wait two months again"
All things considered this should easily be worth more than $5 a share within a couple years! JMVHO!

Just getting them on the air will really get the word out. In so far as quality, everybit as good a many commercials if not better. I badly want to see these things aired primetime. We should se a decent pop with this but the long haul is what I'm looking at. We will not experience runs like NEOM & BCON quick up & slow ride back to the same area. We should do some SIRI stair stepping & create a base far above our penny beginings.
Yep! After seeing those commercials I'm feeling even more pumped than before. I will double my position within the next week if This thing does not leave me in the dust while blowing through the top of the charts.

On my United Arilines flight (Boeing 777 with individual video screens for each seat) from NY to CO on Wed, I was surfing the video programs and one channel had 2 hours of BBC programs which I kept going back to as they were the most interesting. One of the times I popped back to the BBC program, I happened on a Business Profile (or did they call it Company Profile?) of http://www.gameznflix.com/
The guy who was guiding the tour and talking sounded like he was president (although since I tuned in half way through, I never heard who he was). He said he started the company because his two kids were always asking for the newest games and he figured it would be cheaper to rent them, so he started the company. He was light complexion, light hair, middle aged, stocky, and had a pleasant manner. Would this have been John Fleming? Has anyone else seen this program?
It was a good production (I watched about the last 2 minutes of it, probably total length was 3-5??) which explained to the viewer how the rental program worked and all the benefits and ended with website URL.
I thought "way cool" since I've been a PGHI shareholder from way back in the olden days thanks to mach.
Yes, it's the same bio that was on the International History Channel. John told me it would be airing on all international flights and flights 4 hours or longer.
Edit: Yes, that was John Fleming

A lot of interesting info in there about outsourcing due to overload, accredited investors, and so-forth. Worth a look.
What does everyone see from here, nothing seems good, until maybe June 14th, should I just hold on or drop them and invest in something else for now. I've been seeing a lot of red lately, and the report isn't the greatest either.

On the Gameznflix website, they have not changed their New Release lineup in over 4 weeks. There have been NUMEROUS new and good movies that have come out and are not being featured. This is bothersome to me.....
------------------
whizknock
Also which is worst. A DVD that I have out suddenly gets removed from my list as if I never checked out this movie in the first place. This means I technically now have four movies out for my paid 3. I will be returning the dvd in the morning since im not a criminal.
If this happened to me? How many others have gotten movies and are keeping them for FREE.
This will not be anywere close to your dreams unless they build up quality and install customer loyalty because believe me, Gameznflix has been mentioned as the Worst video game rental place by numerous of video game forums, such as Ign.com
Its not acceptable and only a limited number of problems can be called growing issues....
what the hell are they doing?
Does anyone know when the commercials come out. I have seem them and they do look great - but when is the air date?

FRANKLIN, Kentucky, May 27th /PRNewswire/ In an open letter to the Company shareholders and subscribers, John Fleming, CEO/President of GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX), a growing online Internet DVD movie and video game rental company, stated:
“The Front End (How we are seen on the Internet)
On June 14th we will be launching our version 2.0 of the website, this will include the option to rent or purchase/buy titles. The “Rent It, Like It, Buy It” or “Just Purchase” concept has been in the company’s business model since it was originally written. The release of version 2.0 of the website will include many improved features like the a-z listings of title when searching, ability to sort the queue and clearer understanding of the member’s title queue.
The website will be hosted on the company’s new IBM servers and carried across the Internet via Akamai Technologies www.akamai.com. Akamai Technologies is the world’s largest distributed computing platform with 15,000 servers, 1,100 networks in 70+ countries, 1,000+ customers of which half are listed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Such clients like GM, FedEx, AOL, Best Buy and Coca-Cola. Akamai Technologies knows how to assist us to get our website to reach Internet users at record speed. By delivering the GameZnFlix site (screenshots, image, objects) from the edge of Akamai’s network, site performance will increase on average by 247% (Gomez test).
The Backend (How we get supplied, control and ship)
On the backend of our company we have been working closely with both Ingram Entertainment www.ingramentertainment.com and our new fulfillment company National Fulfillment, Inc. to decrease the delivery time of our inventory and provide the most up to date information to the members. National Fulfillment, Inc. of Nashville is handling both shipping and inventory control. NFI has locations in Nashville and Los Angeles and can reach most of the US via regular mail in 3-4 days. To view the video about NFI click on www.nationalfulfillment.com
The National Picture (How we reach new subscribers)
Our first series of national television ads with Dennis Cole began in April and has been well received. They air almost daily across the country and have been seen on shows like Bravo’s West Wing slot, Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres, and many other time slots.
This summer we will be launching our new, three-part Ben Curtis television ads. The airing of the Ben Curtis national television ads will be announced shortly as we are finishing off negotiations with the networks.
Online Direct Advertising
We are in the final stages of our online Internet advertising campaign, which we have kept in the box until we were able to gauge the television response. We are planning on launching this campaign during June, 2004.
Coming events
Also, on June 17th we will launch our "Thanks to the Military" discount campaign. This will make us the only DVD and Game rental company shipping to the APO and FPO addresses necessary to reach our service people around the world.
Summary
Over 5,000 people have used our new service since April 1, 2004 when the current website was launched. We continue to grow and look forward to an increasing membership.
Our current inventory plan allows our members to select from over 28,000 titles. Our inventory continues to grow as we strive to meet requests from our members. We started with 1,000 top titles and since have been building the inventory based on members’ requests. While this “virtual” inventory method has caused an initial delay in providing service to some of our members, it does allow them to obtain difficult to find titles that otherwise would not be feasible to stock.
GameznFlix Inc.(OTC:BB GZFX), is a company that offers both DVD movies and video game rentals on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. At $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and or games with no late fees or due dates. For more information log onto www.gamezflix.com

I read the post from ohdag (which was excellent btw, but Leardon - where did you get that the Ben Curtis commercials will start on June 14. In ohdag's post it said the new website launches June 14 and concerning the commercials - it said it would be "summer" - that they were in negotiations. Please clarify how you know that it will be June 14 to see the commercials.

Just what I wrote. I emailed their (gamesnflix) investor relations department and got a reply back today. I asked if the official release of the Ben Curtis commercials was June 14th and they replied "Yes, June 14th is the official release date".

I was wondering if you could clear something up for me. I am an investor in your company as well as represent several other investors. Can you give me an official release date for the Ben Curtis commercials. They were originally slated for an early May release and we haven't seen any Press Releases to the contrary. We have heard rumors of June 14th but nothing official. Thank you for your time.
Thanks,

Either way, it's all good. When GZFX says they're up to something positive, so far they have come through. Being vested in IBZT, GZFX being a day or two late- even a week- wouldn't phase me.
5,000 confirmed subscribes thus far, at an average rate of around $18.50 a month, comes to $92,500 gross a month, and we've only just begun.

Out of those 5000, i think 4000 Cancelled by now with their slow service.

I just signed up with netflix yesterday, the site was really quick, and all my movies were shipped today, supposed to have them by Sat. That's impressive.
All I am saying is that I hope they can get it together because I want to buy back in and enjoy the ride up.

I would have to agree with this. As far as revenue, I don't think very many subscribers have actually been charged yet.
As for my own personal experience, in about 40 days I have recieved 3 movies, and I have none in my posession right now.
The website is noticeably much faster, but the search engine sucks and the queue needs help. It appears that these issues will be addressed.
And finally the Ben Curtis commercials; if they're the same ones I've seen floating around the interenet, they should do the job.
GLTA and go GZFX!!!

They had to do it because they would have never been able to go national without a large selection but being a startup company, that is costly. They did a great thing by bringing on another company and also offering sales. I like the Idea of not only offering games but also if I like something I can buy it. Netflix doesn't offer that and that might be the edge we need to over come Netflix's large distribution area. It takes time to build this type of complex network.
But also, the reason Netflix has had to raise there rates is the fact they have so many distribution centers it is cutting deep into there bottom line. Cost from extra buildings, more employees, more supervisors, and more overhead overall.

My hope:

$5.00 by end of year, $10.00 in a year - praying real hard.

Well, you could always put your money in NFLX if you feel that strongly against GZFX. We'll see which makes the most positive pps impact in six months, 9 months and a year, based upon where each closed at Thursday.
NFLX closed at 33.20
GZFX closed at .095

I never received the 3rd movie before the 2 week trial was up and never received an email that it was shipped. I cancelled my member ship and guess what, the 3rd movie shows up a few days later.

I just received all 3 movies from Netflix and within 3 days of signing up. Also 1 day earlier than expected.
Gamenflix really needs to get it together if they want to be a viable player in this industry.
Go GZFX, I need a new car. lol

Are you a moron or just want to cause trouble. Go somewhere else and bash. I usely don't bash people in here. They have there on thoughts on the subject and I like a good discussion.
But this company only got started 3 months ago with this. I would like to see you be up to Netflix's level in just 3 months.
Of course they are slower and they will get better and soon as money starts coming in and they can grow. Netflix didn't have this level of service when they started either.
Rick
They have a way to go but from what I see they are making all the right moves to get there. This time next year I am sure they will be up to the same level, if not better, than netflix.
It always astounds me how stock holders in this pps range expect a company to run like a Mercedes at Yugo prices. They are a fledgling company with a huge upside. Kind of like Payton Manning in his rookie year

Bashing! What a joke! It's the truth. What are you? A pumper and a dumper! I am just shedding sharing my experiece with the 2 companys and gameznflix needs to kick in high gear. Is stating facts bashing? I think not. If I was lying, then I would be bashing. Get a life, get a grip and realize that this is a message board for people to post information...good or bad!
So, what happens when the prices rise to $21.99 on June 15? Calls to two company spokeswomen weren't returned.
Fast forward to Monday: The company took out the "for as long as you choose to be a customer" line and added an asterisk that to this footnote that says, "Please note: our Standard Program Rate will increase to $21.99 effective on June 15, 2004."
As they say, "Oops!"
P.S. Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Heath Terry initiated coverage on Netflix today with an "outperform." However, he cites "significant" risks, including rising prices and the lack of competition, "something that is starting to change." With his report, it will be interesting to see if the company soon does a stock offering, and if it does, who its underwriters will be.
One of Netflix's glaring weaknesses, according to some critics, has been its somewhat limited capacity for filling orders for first-run films. That's not good at a time when rival Blockbuster Entertainment (BBI: news) is taking straight aim at Netflix while WalMart.com's fledgling DVD-rental business is nipping at its heels.
Raising prices should help somewhat, but there's something else to consider: By raising prices, Netflix also is admitting that in a way it has become a victim of its own success.
In its earnings release, the company blamed falling gross margins on "increased movie rentals per average paying subscriber." That's another way of saying that Netflix's best customers are eating it out of house and home by taking full advantage of the company's unlimited-rental policy.
That's absolutely the worst scenario for any one-price-fits-all business -- Netflix's very own nightmare on Elm Street. As broker Sandy Brasher of Rice Voelker in Louisiana, who is neither long nor short the stock, is fond of saying: "The more Netflix sells, the less it makes."

Take off the rose colored glasses and learn some English and grammar (apologies if English is not your first language).

Ric, I agree. These issues were all not only discussed at great length here and on RB but even more importantly, they have all been addressed by yesterday's email from the company to all it's subscribers and shareholders. I was very impressed with that email as it was not only very thorough but eloquently written as well. New website coming to replace this one which is why I think no updates to their new releases have been made. They are putting all their efforts into the new website which will replace this one with the Ben Curtis ads just around the corner. I, for one, am impressed with their game plan (or should that be gameznflix plan..lol). I have stocks to play short term for quick profits. This is not one of them, I just keep backing the truck in to add more shares and at the recent pps I am not complaining or worrying.

I agree. GZFX is still working on getting the bugs out of the system- a system that has only been in place for three months. They are in the process of making major overhauls which will vastly improve their appeal and efficiency.
Just out of curiosity, what gerneral area of the country do you live in? I am just curious as to how the west coast service improvements are going over- if there are any west-coast subscribers out there, please post your honest evaluation of the system, and if you have had a bad experience, has it improved over time? The reason why I ask this, is because the first month of operations, some people were slamming GZFX over its turn around time, yet I have not heard from any of them on this issue since: if it has gotten better, it is important for everyone to know, in order to build confidence and attract new capital.
I also have had no delays but I'm curious as if my location (Virginia) may be close to one of the distribution centers. It's slipped my mind but they're are two right? And they were looking into adding another? Correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks guys.

i'm a owner of this stock. i bought pghi when it was.03. i decided to subscribe to their service. i ordered woody allens "sleeper" it took 2 weeks for delivery. they said it was because it wasn't a new release. that was ok with me. since then i have ordered 3 older movies. "last house on the left" frank zappas "baby snakes" and "blue velvet" that was april 25 and i'm still waiting. when i emailed the ceo all i got was emails about the commercials. this is not bashing. i want this company to succeed, but i want them to get their **** together before they run commercials.by the way i live in pittsburgh, pa. so i don't think i'm too far from their delivery area. i'm a little concerned about gzfx. i've thought about selling and getting out but i haven't yet.

At the onset, Veegeez was given the role of sole distributor, but they found that the demand exceeded their expectations, so they opted to outsource distribution operations through National Fulfillment. Veegeez was then merged into a single entity with Gamezflix, so at this point, as far as I can tell, National Fulfillment is handling all order distributions from their centers in Nashville and Los Angeles. I have not heard of any plans regarding either party adding another center, but it would surprise me if they weren’t looking into either opening several this year, or further outsourcing through other pre-established centers: turnaround and delivery time is the key to this market, and I am certain that Gameznflix realizes that continuously adding new distribution centers has been a major key to Netflix’s rapid growth.
Any rentals sent to Virginia should be shipped from the Nashville center. Such may not be the case, however, if regional demand for a certain title exceeds the current inventory available at the nearest distibution center. Such an anomaly may warrant the need to distribute further copies of that title from surplus inventory at the west coast center. Once Gameznflix gets a good demographic picture of their clientele and their interests, they will be able to accomodate their needs much more proficiently: unfortunately, this is not something that they can just call Netflix up and ask them for their research on.

That wait is too long, and there is no excuse for them dropping the ball. Unfortunately, the hardest person to reach at GZFX these days is the CEO- the man has a lot on his plate. As for inventory, and problems with back-orders and older movies,I can only offer this, based on the most recent 10QSB. Gameznflix is supplied as needed by Ingram Entertainment, which has 2 headquarters and 22 distribution centers located across the United States. Of course, that doesn’t mean squat if you have been waiting on a movie for a month or more, but if it were within Ingram’s immediate reach, I would hope that it would have been forwarded by Ingram to one of National Fulfillment’s two distribution centers for forwarding to you. In your case, such has yet to take place, and that is abysmal. I am not blaming Ingram- it is most likely that GZFX has dropped the ball on this, and I am sure that concerns all of us.
It is not, however, unique to Gameznflix by any stretch: I have found many links with regards to Netflix users waiting months for selections in their queues, including older movies and movies which most people would not consider to be high-demand titles. Some of those links were two years old- but many were within the past two months. In fact, several Netflix users have bemoaned Netflix as becoming 'too big for their own good'.
In fact, what has happened to you is why online rental companies have the 'dream-lists' with many selection spaces- because they know that from time to time, they are going to have to send you some lower selections in an attempt to buy some time
while they locate the upper selections. I know that's like saying to you "We're gonna have to give you a Ford Escort to drive for a month while we try to find out what is wrong with your brand new Mercedes", and I hope that they understand that your concern is legitimate.
Motley F@@l regarding Netflix, June 2002, right after NFLX went public:

Even with a strong IPO and all of the funding brought in by it, Netflix was no sure bet by any stretch. Netflix started out on Nasdaq- we are starting our new life in penny land. There's a lot more room for us to grow, starting down here in pennyland...
Keep in mind that Netflix has had 4 years to work out their bugs: in fact, many people are stating that Netflix’s service is actually getting worse, even while their rates are rising.

I am thinking that June will be a much better month than May was for this stock. I am going to get back in this morning. Hype alone if nothing else should bump it up a few cents; June 14th will be interesting.

Ben Curtis' 'GameZnFlix Guy' Debut Will Appear on Fox Television National Primetime Schedule
Tuesday June 1, 10:07 am ET
FRANKLIN, Ky., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- During Fox's encore presentation of the "The North Shore" on June 17th, the viewing audience will be able to see two of the three new Ben Curtis television commercials. The "GameZnFlix Guy", as Ben is known in the commercial, was named national spokesperson for the company in April 2004. Ben has completed the taping of a series of three television commercials to be used in the national television campaign for GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX - News). AdSouth Partners, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADPR - News), who represents GameZnFlix, Inc., has selected Fox as the television debut network because of its younger audience and its increased popularity since its broadcast of American Idol. The spots may be previewed online at http ://www .whitesnet .net/GZFX/GZFX .htm
The national Ben Curtis television campaign debut will be followed by more than $600,000 worth of targeted national media buys on such networks as MTV, E!, ESPN, WB, Lifetime and approximately 20 other top targeted local markets on networks like ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. The entire media schedule, with airtimes, will be posted on the Adsouth website www .adsouthinc .com and GameZnFlix website www .gameznflix .com after the Fox Network debut on June 17th.
John Fleming, CEO/President of GameZnFlix, Inc. stated, "We are pleased to be able to launch our summer television campaign with Fox. I believe that we have a great combination with Ben Curtis as our spokesman and the use of the Fox network to launch GameZnFlix .com across the United States. I forward to the AdSouth completing our current negotiations with Fox for the upcoming 2005 Super Bowl spots."
"After the first couple of days of the Dennis Cole commercials we observed a significant increase in web traffic and new members. The advertising selected for the initial campaign was targeted to a much smaller audience so we could gauge overall traffic versus the number of new members. We are excited by this debut and the follow on advertising campaign as the campaign should scale up the ratio between traffic versus new members," states John Cammarano, President of AdSouth.
AdSouth Partners, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADPR - News) is located in Boca Raton, Florida and is a based media placement and creative marketing firm. AdSouth specializes in direct response television marketing for clients that advertise their products or services on local and national television networks.

GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX - News), is a company that offers both DVD movies/video game rentals on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and/or games with no late fees or due dates. Beginning in mid-June GameZnFlix's website will also be offering its subscribers the option to purchase both DVD movies and video games along with the continued rental program.

The board was real slow for me but it seems to be ok now. My last post was just before the press release. I was trying to be cheap and get in at 0.096. Should have gone for 0.099. Oh well, hind sight's always 20/20. I'll keep my eye on it.

Remember when Master Lock used to do that? They used their entire annual advertising budget on one Super Bowl ad. I'm thinking Master Lock is larger than GZFX (although this was a few years ago, they don't do it anymore), and I don't think it would be a wise move at this point. I wonder if Netflix is planning something similar; that could have something to do with it.

There are two things about the commercials that struck me:
-They left me with the gutt-instinct that these are not the last of Ben Curtis that we will see regarding him doing commercials for Gameznflix- they seemed to be setting the context for another series of Ben Curtis/ Gameznflix commercials in the future,
-I would have liked them much more if the laptop that he used in them was a Dell, and was taken out of a briefcase that had the Dell emblem on it.

I think all those people sold long ago! I've been in since about 0.025. I had the opportunity to buy more at 0.017 but at the time I thought that was too much!
I also think it's a little irksome that QBID and CMKM get so much attention vs. this stock.
Let me ask a question here. I see a lot of people come in and say they own a stock and bash it, but claim not to be a basher.
If you own a stock, why would you downgrade it maybe causing the shares to decrease? Isn't that beating yourself out of money?
To me you either want it to go down to buy more or you are a basher who doesn't own any shares. I think if you feel the need to talk bad about a stock you should say, I don't own it and this is why so we can do DD for ourself.
Some would try to say that your a pumper if you only talk good about a stock but paid pumpers go and an try to manipulate a stock price. Yes if you own a stock and feel strongly about it, I think you should praise it. Not lie but give its stong points to make some money because that what we are all here for, the money.
I say this because the only time I ever see people talking bad about this stock and others is when it starts to run or good PR has come out. Then all of the sudden people come out of the woodworks bring up bad points (valid or not) stopping the run in its tracks. Saying they own the stock. Don't you want to make money. It doesn't make sense to me.
Oh well, my ranting has put GZFX back to the top again so it wasn't for nothing, lol.

Just because someone asks a question or makes a point about a company, doesn't necessarily mean they're a basher. I own GZFX at various prices between 4.9 cents and 12 cents, and I've been a member of their site (cancelled after 2 weeks and one movie). I have legitimate concerns about their business model, specifically inventory and provisioning, and I'm also concerned that they're spending all this money on television/super-bowl ads when that capital should be going toward improving their customer service.
Personally, I think the stock will jump back into the 14/16 cent range immediately after the ads run June 17th, but after that I'm very skeptical about any future growth, unless they seriously improve their business model. The CEO update gave me some hope, but I want results, not promises.
GZFX remains about 60% of my total portfolio, so believe me when I say I'm not wanting the price to go down. I'm just asking realistic questions.

GameZnFlix’ CEO/President Provides Corporate Update
FRANKLIN, Kentucky, May 27th /PRNewswire/ In an open letter to the Company shareholders and subscribers, John Fleming, CEO/President of GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX), a growing online Internet DVD movie and video game rental company, stated:
“The Front End (How we are seen on the Internet)
On June 14th we will be launching our version 2.0 of the website, this will include the option to rent or purchase/buy titles. The “Rent It, Like It, Buy It” or “Just Purchase” concept has been in the company’s business model since it was originally written. The release of version 2.0 of the website will include many improved features like the a-z listings of title when searching, ability to sort the queue and clearer understanding of the member’s title queue.
The website will be hosted on the company’s new IBM servers and carried across the Internet via Akamai Technologies www.akamai.com. Akamai Technologies is the world’s largest distributed computing platform with 15,000 servers, 1,100 networks in 70+ countries, 1,000+ customers of which half are listed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Such clients like GM, FedEx, AOL, Best Buy and Coca-Cola. Akamai Technologies knows how to assist us to get our website to reach Internet users at record speed. By delivering the GameZnFlix site (screenshots, image, objects) from the edge of Akamai’s network, site performance will increase on average by 247% (Gomez test).
The Backend (How we get supplied, control and ship)
On the backend of our company we have been working closely with both Ingram Entertainment www.ingramentertainment.com and our new fulfillment company National Fulfillment, Inc. to decrease the delivery time of our inventory and provide the most up to date information to the members. National Fulfillment, Inc. of Nashville is handling both shipping and inventory control. NFI has locations in Nashville and Los Angeles and can reach most of the US via regular mail in 3-4 days. To view the video about NFI click on www.nationalfulfillment.com
The National Picture (How we reach new subscribers)
Our first series of national television ads with Dennis Cole began in April and has been well received. They air almost daily across the country and have been seen on shows like Bravo’s West Wing slot, Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres, and many other time slots.
This summer we will be launching our new, three-part Ben Curtis television ads. The airing of the Ben Curtis national television ads will be announced shortly as we are finishing off negotiations with the networks.
Online Direct Advertising
We are in the final stages of our online Internet advertising campaign, which we have kept in the box until we were able to gauge the television response. We are planning on launching this campaign during June, 2004.
Coming events
Also, on June 17th we will launch our "Thanks to the Military" discount campaign. This will make us the only DVD and Game rental company shipping to the APO and FPO addresses necessary to reach our service people around the world.
Summary
Over 5,000 people have used our new service since April 1, 2004 when the current website was launched. We continue to grow and look forward to an increasing membership.
Our current inventory plan allows our members to select from over 28,000 titles. Our inventory continues to grow as we strive to meet requests from our members. We started with 1,000 top titles and since have been building the inventory based on members’ requests. While this “virtual” inventory method has caused an initial delay in providing service to some of our members, it does allow them to obtain difficult to find titles that otherwise would not be feasible to stock.
GameznFlix Inc.(OTC:BB GZFX), is a company that offers both DVD movies and video game rentals on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. At $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and or games with no late fees or due dates. For more information log onto www.gamezflix.com

Secondly, I do tend to make negative points when a stock is doing well, simply to bring balance and perspective. I like to play devil's advocate, just to keep both sides of the coin present.
Finally, I sometimes get emotional just like anyone else, and I have said a few things that in retrospect I should have kept to myself, and for that I apologize.
With that out of the way, where do you think the pps will be at the end of this month? I'm hoping for 0.17 myself.

I am in the process of breaking down the overall ratings into a demographic map of Netflix’s habitual weaknesses, and will post the results later. Why? Because even with all of those long-standing weaknesses, as well as its irresponsible fiscal track-record and melancholy customer service department, Netflix has proven itself successful as far as its market share is concerned. Along comes Gameznflix with a better price, a pro-active agenda aimed at taking care of its clientele, a better selection and a national ad campaign, all at a time when all that Netflix seems to be in the process of doing is raising its rates, and the stage is set for Gameznflix to do very well in this market. GZFX is focused, and poised for a huge period of growth, all without the burden of the likes of Netflix’s 1.7 billion dollar market cap accompanying its 811.75 P/E ratio. I am not claiming that GZFX will ever come close to Netflix in PPS- I am just stating that it doesn’t have to in order for us to make a lot of money.
IMO, the best thing that we can do regarding someone who seems to be bashing, is to reassure/educate them if possible: if they really give a damn about the stock in question, then they are being critical either because they see or fear something that they feel no one else does, or they are just feeling a bit insecure about their position in the stock. If after trying to reassure them they then become irrational or belligerent, all that they are really doing is proving to all that they are just bashing it for whatever self-seeking personal motivation they may harbor. Objective critique is the best thing anyone can throw our way, because we have the ability to either gain insight from their input, or to counter it with facts when able to, thus either exposing them as bashers, or reassuring them with regards to their concerns. That's why many PR execs bait audiences with question-askers and mock bashers: sometimes the best offense is a strong defense- it gets the concerns adressed properly without creating the appearance of being too aggressive.
What's really cool.......
This stock is sweet. It just doesn't make a difference what anyone writes here including me. Slowly but surely these guys will work out the kinks, people will sign up, the dude will sell us & PPS will move past a dollar!
Matter of time! Nothing more, nothing less!

Well, the price is at a slightly higher level as is the volume, but not too much. Fridays used to be good days for this stock, maybe tomorrow will be as well. Someone else posted something about the calm before the storm, well, I've got my fingers crossed. I just don't see how this thing can stay down with the new commercials and website.
But, the charts look so good on this. Don't see how it can be held down much later.

Why do you think that? Because they have games as well? Personally I prob. wouldn't switch but they will continually grab a bigger and bigger portion of the market share - as long as they work everything out! Which will gradually bring up the price for us
Sometimes what is so very obvious is actually every bit as simple as it appears!
This stock is exactly what it looks like.
A long term buy & hold!

I have a sneaky suspicion our shares will be worth a whole lot more in a couple months. we will not need anymore than 10 million shares tops.
For a Super Bowel spot! Buy that at any cost & it will have to be a primo commercial cause their getting selective & the people that get Super Bowel spots put out the best commercials money can buy.
I don't know where this noise about a 2005 S/B Commercial comes from but if it's serious & we see one,,,,

no 66/ 42.6%/ 74/ 34.6%/ UP
42.6% of the 2003/2004 respondents voted that they would not refer Netflix to anyone else- a 7.6% increase in negative sentiment towards Netflix over the previous years.
Nothing is scientific- even as history proves, some of what was perceived as being scientific by yesterday‘s standards. Many of these numbers may be the result of some people who are adamant in their hatred of Netflix for personal reasons- many may be the result of Netflixophiles who are adamant in their adoration of Netflix for personal reasons as well. But the facts remain the same, and transcend even these numbers: something about what Netflix is doing, has brought out enough emotion in these respondents, that they felt provoked to speak out. If Netflix can grow as they have, and provoke this much sentiment in these people, I see nothing that can stop Gameznflix from becoming, if nothing else, a moderate competitor to Netflix in the online DVD rental industry. This industry is only 6% spoken for, and static even at that: as such, it is anyone’s guess who will be on top in one- two- three- or five years from now. The beauty of it all, is that based upon where our PPS and market cap are at now, we don’t even need to be in the top five to show markedly higher, sustainable upward appreciation in EPS as well as PPS.

John,
We have covered all the open development issues with Akamai and the site is working. There are a few intermittent errors but Akamai folks do not get them. We can switch the DNS now, if you decide to do it.
Under the original plan I drew up, we would have another week/two weeks at this point to test everything over and over. IBM screwed us. As it is, we have had the ability to field test this thing in its entirity only since the wee hours of this morning. The systems guy in me wants to hold off and test,revise,test... The marketing part of me sees the member emails and says, "anything is better than this." I am leaving it up to you.
We can do one of the following
(1) Tell Richard to pull the plug now and test on the fly
(2) Hold off until you can drive over here and we can look at it together and make the decision this morning
(3) Give ourselves a couple days and schedule the switch at any specific point you want.
I vote for #2. I am prepared for #1 and wish for #3.
Your call,
Ken

Version 1.0 of the website is what is running now and was developed for free basically by some helpful investors. Version 2.0 is the professionally designed version which was slated to come out June 14th, but now has been pushed back to the 23rd (we'll see).

That is a chunk of change about $74,000. I do hope you well as that is a great entry price. I only have 80,000 shares and am very happy with my position since I go in in December.
Good luck to all and I believe that we will bwe back to around .15 0r .16 by the end of the week. That's only my opinion.
Thanks and good luck all with GZFX...i love it long term!!!

I have 15000 share at .10 and while i would like to buy more i want to make sure they have their shipping all together or else they will lose thousands of customers quickly. Anyway does anybody know if they showed their commercials again on t.v. or was it just last week? I didnt watch during NORTH SHORE tonight but was hoping to see it on t.v. at some point. Please let me know.Thanks and good luck all with GZFX...i love it long term!!!
I am on the pacific coast and am watching North Shore right now. They just finished their first commercial break and did not have any GZFX commercial at that time. I am going to watch for the next break and then give up on it after that. Don't really care for the show but I don't think I am the target viewer for this kind of a show.

Just finished their second set of commercials about half way through the show. Can't take much more so I am going to change programs. I would like to know when and where their next commercial is running though.

They showed 2 of the 3 commercials last week on the Thursday night (repeat) show of North Shore. The nice thing was that right after the opening segment - (first minute intro of the show) - it said "tonight's show sponsored by Gamesandflix" - and they then showed one of the commercials. About half way through they showed a different one. I thought they were both good commercials.
The reason i questioned you on the 600,000 is because that is a huge stake in a company and you dont even know that they are launching a new website. This info is older news. What DD have you done on it? Please give me some insight on your DD.
thanks ....what is the risk compared to NFLX and who their competitors are..cash flow, charts, any kind of homework you have done might help the board.
FYI for newbies...
1st DVD renter commercial = Netflix
1st Videogame renter comm = Gamefly
1st DVD & Games = you already know
My background:
Just got back into the market last Oct. (small POS in NFLX)
1st buy of GZFX, 11k in Jan '04, pick up a few k's along the way...still under 20k.
Just another small-time investor.

Thanks for the response to everyone with the question about the number of shares you picked up. Most of us here do not have the kind of funds to invest like you have done. I am glad that you got your shares as it is good for all involved. Almost all of us small time investors do not have the funds to invest so do not take any comments personal but it dose cause some questions as investors who have been in this stock for a length of time have seen several investors claim large buys and turn out to be bashers in the long run.
Congrats on your purchase as it is good to get new members involved.
I sent my 3rd email to GZFX asking about their affiliate program...I want to participate. So if someone @ GZ is reading this, PLEASE email me with ANY info.

GZFX
Average Volume (3 month): 11,495,454
Average Volume (10 day): 19,578,000
Shares Outstanding: 554.65M
Float: 332.80M
% Held by Insiders: 40.00%
Just my very humble oppinion!
I have dicipline & patience. Before Christmas we should see at least one run if not two.
At some point we may even do a debt for equity swap & increase our OS. That will simply fuel another run something like SIRI experienced.
At the latest I see us over a dollar to stay by early 2005!
All serious market research has already been accomplished by Netflix & they were not only right they hit the mother load,,,
NFLX
Average Volume (3 month): 2,286,318
Average Volume (10 day): 1,130,000
Shares Outstanding: 51.64M
Float: 36.40M
% Held by Insiders: 29.52%
% Held by Institutions: 95.00% (my oppinion they mean 95% of the float)
I'm pretty sure many here know how they got almost all the float. You scare people off after a run. At some point we will see this with GZFX. No! Institutions will not wait for us to report a profit. Mutual Funds will but not agressive institutional investors
If you will note the numbers NFLX has about 10 times the outstanding shares we do & 10 times our float. NFLX is $29. & we're trading at .14! Don't be totally surprised if we trade one tenth of that $29 someday!
I agree with those that say GZFX is a long term hold.

Resistance is .18. If we can break that at anytime then we shouldn't stop at .20 but run to .32 - .36. Then have a retrace somewhere in the 20's.
Thats the way this game is played. Not all the time but most.

Akamai cashing the data on the edge of the internet works wonders. It absolutely says something about the company that they are relying on the likes of Akamai ( just see who Akamai's clients are mlb.com, google, yahoo all the bandwidth intensive clients use this to get thier content delievered super fast. Lets not forget who IBM is and who's leveraging their technology as well GAMEFLIX ...
Another good point for those who are in fear of a pump & dump scame ( what pump & dump scam ) signed contracts for commericals on primetime..
If you can't see the potential or are afraid of the risk I can assure you its a losing proposition if you DONT buy not if you do...
Someday we shall see $10....Who knows when but I'm here for the long term...

Site is basically the same visually, but boy it is a huge step in speed. These guys know how to manage a company. Appearance can be upgraded down the line, but right now they are focusing on customer satisfaction and generating revenue. I couldn't agree with this post more. JMHO
P.S. -- It's funny how so many new posters come on deck on the board in the midst of huge developments. Sweet irony, I believe ya call it. DD people ... do it!

If they moved to akamai, then a trace route should be going through their (akamai's)servers somewhere. Perhaps tomorrow it will all be done. HOPEFULLY.

Okay, it is now 8:45AM and no change! What is up?? Guess everyone should get ready for a red day.
e-mail from GameznFlix IT - The website has been switched over - give it time and be PATIENT. This is a e-commerce website that is in the trasition mode now that can come up at any time - read the e-mail and sit back as it's on it's way. You should be very happy for a company that has soooooo much to offer.

Yes, the process has started as it works its way through the WWW. It could be up anytime. It went as scheduled.

I have some advice for you, if the site isn't meeting your expectation nor the company then be gone you flea.
Lets go back in time when Yahoo, Google or any other ecommerce site first entered the market. Do you honestly think it was smooth sailing for any of those companies getting the bugs out and have their infrastructure running efficently from day one ?
No it's called trials and tribulations !
So small minded and so ignorant its amazing someone like you even knows what the potential is here....
Another poster, BE GONE you slug !
Go GZFX, make me some more money.

GZFX is all they are posting about. The only time they even mention Netflix is the GZFX bashers saying NetFlix is faster, lol. Thats it. To me it looks like they are worried. Don't know why, this field is wide open and GZFX has plenty of room. They know that, but they are still afraid.Go GZFX, make me some more money.

I'm loving this! Yes we're being talked about the very people that fear us most. That is validation. "FOR BOTH COMPANIES!" Get a grip Netflix, this will only hurt for a minute & help you long term.
Anyway...

This only makes me want to add to my position and for once in my trading career I'm holding this one for years to come...
My only concern is where do I pull the trigger ? At 5$ a share ? 15$ ? or $30 ?
Everyone is forgetting about a possible takeover from a brick and click that would like to have an established ecommerce site to compete with the likes of Netflix.
Has anyone thought of a blockbuster, barnes & noble, WalMart, Amazon who may swoop in and buy them out ?
Its all good people lets buy up as much as we can !

I wish that I could say yes to that but no one knows. These stocks at this level tend to move when you least expect them sometimes. Most are waiting for subscription numbers to come out but who knows other then to say it will go up soon just don't know when.
Rick
... have to click onto member's site
any other opinions?
It's faster, in general
Searching is much more functional
Queue seems to be more up-to-date
Queue uses numbers instead of arrows to change order
Cons:
Browsing is still very cumbersome
Site logs you off accidentally
Need more cover art
Service, service service!! This is the single biggest thing, for me, that needs to be addressed. I guess people's individual experiences have varied greatly, but I can say that my fiance has gotten at least 15 times more DVD's from netflix as I have from GZFX, in the same amount of time.
Gzfx has a great site nd competition to netflix. and trust me, down the road, we will be worth way more then a $1.00 per share. #4 is big time and gzfx is gonn get there to.
Gzfx is the best penny stock there is as far as potential.

Thinkmoney! You're right on the money when you use that statistic & relate it to us. That's the direction we're headed.
I agree with your reasoning 100%! That's why I keep pointing out that Netflix has done all our market research.

Defying the Naysayers
Motley Fool Hidden Gems contributor Daniel Hong has little use for fads. So, no, you won't likely catch him in a polo with its collar turned up, but he does have his eye on a little number that is like so last week. Read on to see what in the world Dan is thinking.
By Daniel Hong
June 25, 2004
About six months ago, Netflix was a story everyone wanted to hear. Today, the Wise can't get enough of ridiculing its valuation, business model, and competitive position. Conventional wisdom suggests that Netflix is an overvalued Internet wunderkind that will be tag-teamed by Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI), and video on demand (VOD). Don't bet on it.
Call me a fool
But I still believe. If I've taken away one thing from my experience with Hidden Gems investing, it's that jewels are hidden for any number of reasons. Netflix -- though it's still up more than 200% in a year -- is a gem simply because it's fallen from favor. What makes me so sure it's not just some run-of-the-mill flameout? More than I can tell you in one column!
But in a sentence, the market severely underestimates the depth and breadth of this company's moat. What about Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, and VOD? They don't worry me in the least. In my opinion, Netflix has sustainable competitive advantages investors have discounted too heavily. Warren Buffett would probably choke if he heard me say that a company with a forward P/E of 60 can be a value play, but if the market believed what I believe, then this company would be valued much more highly.
But let's sidestep valuation for a moment and get back to the story. It's a tale of the Internet, DVD economics, and movies. I think it ends nicely -- and with Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, and VOD looking elsewhere for an easy meal.
Internet brands
When you want to buy cheap books online, where do you go? Chances are, you click on Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN). Which engine do you typically use for your searches? Probably Google. Auctions? eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY). Financial news? Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO).
When people think about the Internet, they typically associate one or, at most, two sites with a particular service. People are creatures of habit, whether they're using the same brand of shampoo for much of their lives or getting their online sports news from ESPN.com. People develop Web-browsing habits that change infrequently over time, making it very difficult for an upstart to supplant an established Internet brand.
How does an Internet site reach this position of dominance? Typically, the first movers in the space grab the most mindshare and keep it, even in the face of heated and competent competition. Take, for example, Amazon and barnesandnoble.com. Barnes and Noble (NYSE: BKS) built an online service that compared favorably to Amazon on price, convenience, and distribution. Yet people continued to shop at Amazon for their books and CDs. By the time Barnes and Noble launched its website, people had already come to associate Amazon with buying cheap online.
The old same place
An established bricks-and-mortar store base can be more liability than asset for an online property. People think of bookstores when they think of Barnes and Noble, not its website. Successful branding in retail rarely transfers to the Internet space and can sometimes be an impediment to attracting online traffic. The most significant competitive advantage is mindshare. Anyone with enough financial resources and operational expertise can compete on price, convenience, and distribution. It is very difficult to steal mindshare.
An understanding of the Internet space helps explain why competition from Wal-Mart's and Blockbuster's online offerings have been ineffective and laughable, respectively. Netflix has already grabbed significant mindshare in this space, and its position will only grow stronger with time. Management has said time and again that it welcomes competition on its turf because it only draws more attention to the best service for online DVD rentals -- Netflix.
Thus far, Wal-Mart and Blockbuster have made only half-hearted attempts at competing against Netflix on turnaround time and selection. If and when they do take these issues as seriously as customers do, it will be too late. The Netflix brand will already be entrenched in the minds of American consumers.
The economics of DVDs
DVDs are not going anywhere soon. Historically, media formats like the LP and VHS have enjoyed life cycles of about 20 years. Even with acceleration in technological development, these cycles have not shortened because technology is not the most important factor in determining the length of these cycles.
Clearly, there is a certain amount of inertia when it comes to abandoning old formats. It takes time for hardware like record players, VCRs, and DVD players to penetrate American households. DVDs have been around for almost a decade, and only now are the players becoming ubiquitous in American homes. It seems unlikely that we will be quick to replace our relatively new DVD players with a superior format. For now, most Americans are perfectly content with the capabilities of the DVD format. And besides, most people are still smarting from having to pack away their VHS collection of movies.
In VOD?
Even VOD will have a difficult time overcoming this inertia. Yes, VOD has the potential to revolutionize the way people watch movies. At the same time, it will take at least five or even 10 years for VOD to become mainstream. The selection on VOD is limited to a few hundred titles at most, and I don't see this changing anytime soon. Studios release movies first on the big screen, then on DVD, and finally on VOD. They have enormous economic incentives to keep it that way.
Consider that a DVD sale nets about $17 to the studio per family, while VOD and downloading nets about $2 per family. Because DVDs are so much more profitable, studios will milk the DVD cash cow before giving in to VOD. This is comparable to publishers distributing books in expensive hardcover editions and then in paperback. They will never release hardcover and paperbacks simultaneously. Likewise, studios will protect new-release DVD sales from VOD and downloading.
I don't deny that VOD is a very compelling proposition for customers. Why wait for DVDs in the mail when you can watch a movie at the press of a button? The few people I know who have cable VOD have given nothing but rave reviews for the service. But even if VOD were to become mainstream much earlier than expected, and even if VOD were to relegate Netflix to a niche market (in other words, even if the worst-case scenario were to develop), our investment in Netflix would still be successful.
Say what?
Consider that there are about 60 million cable subscribers in this country, a number that is not growing very quickly. Assume that all 60 million use VOD (not very likely, but I like to be conservative with my worst-case scenarios). That still leaves about 40 million households that will rely on DVDs as their primary medium for home movies. Netflix need capture only 5 million of those to become an extremely successful investment.
If Netflix happens to become a multibillion-dollar online media company, as management believes it can, then even better. But we are not depending on success of this magnitude for our investment in Netflix to do well. That's why I'm so cavalier about cable VOD. There is more than enough space for both VOD and DVD-by-mail, and Netflix has demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that it is on track to dominate the latter market.
Bottom line
DVDs are here to stay -- at least for a good, long while -- and as long as they are around, people will continue to rent them. VOD won't, in my view, pose a competitive threat for at least five to 10 years. When it finally does, Netflix will be positioned to compete effectively with its own VOD offering. But again, success in VOD isn't critical to my thesis. So, let's wrap here and pick up with more on Blockbuster, valuation, and at what prices I'd be picking up shares of Netfix in my next column.

I don't even know why they are wasting money on commercials right now. They obviously need to fix their product first. I wouldn't be suprised if 80% of the people who signed up from the FOX commercials have already canceled. IMO the tv ads were a waste of time and money.
Although I could be wrong, they havn't released any news or info about how everything went.
This company is everything it appears to be,,,An obvious dollar plus per share!
All just a matter of time!

BTW, I used NFLX before investing in it. I invested in GZFX before signing up. As far as POS, I'm hold 2x more of GZ compared to Net and plan on adding...if they can IMPROVE their service.
You want this stock to go up...they need to add more paying customers who won't cancel...for the long run.
Will they be here to stay or fade away? Only time will tell. Like everyone else, I want to make $$$$.

As far as their website, I'm not worried about them making improvements on. It's the actual service, the final product that customers gets is what concerns me...IMO.

You are on target IMO. The advertising campaign for GZFX is ingenious because they have appealed to consumer audiences (early) that are very loyal to whatever network GZFX is advertising on (i.e. Howard Stern & the military) Both have strong followings from their audiences

Here is my chart study findings:
12/2/03 - High: 0.042 12/16/03 - Low: .026
01/5/04 - High: 0.06 01/13/04 - Low: .042
02/9/04 - High: .107 03/01/04 - Low: .052
3/30/04 - High: .162 05/26/04 - Low: .091
6/16/04 - High: .165 unknown at this point
I would hope this would encourage some that the stock is still performing as it has in the past. Now, imho, if the website gets working properly and the add campaign gets rolling then I would think we would see a run. Might not be the big gain that was seen in 10/2003. There was a 1200% gain. 10/16 it was at .0028 and by 10/28 it hit a high of .036. When the website is running properly and the add campaign is in full swing then I think we will see between .25 and .45. These are my thoughts. Please keep in mind that I am a newbie.
I just hope it doesn't run till I get some liquidity. I think this one will be a slow steady (strong) climber if they keep working at it like this.
Peace.
I still think GZFX is a great long term hold

I see some are complaining about the site but its partly our fault. We as investors begged for the site to go live even though they said that there was delays and would like to test the site for 2 more weeks but we didn't care. Then after bowing to our wishes we complain because its not perfect from the get go.
This will be great for us all. Just give it a little more time. We are all wanting this now but I think we have come a long way in such a short time and thats impressive to me.

I just went through much of their website & all the glitches people have complained about were non-exisistant. My bet is all that complaining about delivery times will become non-exsistant as well in due time because those problems are being ironed out as well.
Yep! Sometimes things are every bit as simple as they appear & sometimes the obvious is exactly that.
While traders sell I'll be buying cause this company is an obvious winner!
Simply a matter of time.

The thing that looks bad though is that they still have that banner page that comes up instead of taking you to their home page. It lists the problems they are having and says it will be fixed in a few days. Well first off the banner has been there for over two weeks and second, why not have it go to the home page and just put a link or note on the bottom about the auto email notification. It just looks bad and is confusing to have that page come up when you go to their site.

I have been a HUGE fan of GZFX, but I posted a review of the service on my blog a couple months ago and am hearing nothing but negative comments from people. It really ticks me off because I believe management is blowing opportunities left and right.
Where is the affiliate program already? I've been asking for this for months so that I could promote the service and get commissions. It is SO easy to set this up, yet they are not being responsive.
I am very disappointed and will be looking for a much lower entry point. GZFX has tons of potential long term, but things are just too uncertain right now and I think the market will respond negatively.
Only my opinion.. and I don't really know squat. :-)
Personally, I am hoping for .05 because I can see buying that low and socking it away for a year while these guys get their act together.

Not that our stock will perform as well, but you get the point. I think the only difference is that gzfx is jumping right into the advertising. My only concern here is that they get a lot of improvements before the advertising starts getting really heavy. I am confident in this company, they have a great product, we know it works, and it may be a bumpy time right now, but things will fall into place! When they do, we should see continual climbs for some time. Good luck to everybody on this stock, I hope you all have as much confidence as I do.
great post ... I'm in -- post more often there glfpimp! Such a perspective is always welcome on the GZFX long term investors.

When you goto browse games then click on Playstation2 it brings up no games. See here: http://www.gameznflix.com/searchResults.html?q=genre:%22PlayStation%202%22&prod=Games
The reason is because they are using the wrong variable in the var post url, they simple need to change "Playstation2" to "PS2"
As seen in this url here: http://www.gameznflix.com/searchResults.html?q=genre:%22PS2%22&prod=Games
Other than that, site is looking great. Dvd's and games have been shipping pretty quik for me. I see this one rising pretty quik now

Looks like profit takers jumped too soon & that was all that was holding this thing back. pretty soon we're back over a buck.

Today GZFX stalled while a bunch of people took profits in the high 8s & low 9s. Soon as they were gone we continued up. If we open green tomorrow we might see the same thing with a close of 11 cents. This thing is still oversold. It would be sweet for an investor like me if that were the case because I bought more to hold!
Soon enough traders will aknowledge GZFX potential & realise they're here to stay.
Early next year, no later than April/May I believe we're over a dollar if not sooner! before the end of next year (2005) I see $2 plus!

Still a believer, but I think the road to .15 or more is a long way off... like when they show revenue numbers.
Until then, I will watch for price to slide again. I am truly hoping for an entry under .06 within the next month.
My opinion only... GZFX could have some tricks up its sleeve...

beta.blockbuster.com is a prerelease test of this site and the BLOCKBUSTER Online™ rental service, open to invited members of the public. The site and service are still being modified and refined. Users may experience occasional unusual or buggy behavior and unforeseen system outages and/or delays. Please report all such issues to Customer Service. All site and online rental membership Terms and Conditions apply during this beta test and thereafter. You acknowledge that you understand and are agreeing to use the site and service subject to all of the foregoing (if you do not, you should not sign up for the site and/or service).
GZFX could have saved some ill-feelings by new and existing users with a statement like that.
What is everyone's opinion about the impact that Blockbuster's website will have on GZFX? As far as I understand, this market is relatively untapped (even with Netflix) so I would anticipate that GZFX will still get their share as long as they get their website fully functional and continue the ad campaign to get their name out.
gameznflix, well, you know..
the descriptions of movies are all in CAPS, cover pictures of movies are soo small, does gameznflix have teenagers designing their website or what?
just click blockbuster's NEW Releases tab, then in another window, click gameznflix's new releases tab. compare, You will see the difference.
blockbuster has date of release, actors, brief desc. big picture that you can acutally see

Man, I had high hopes for these guys, but with Blockbuster getting in on the act, it may be too little too late.
I must confess, I am still teetering. I really want to take the next ride up with GZFX, but I'm a bit more trepidatious than before seeing this Blockbuster beta.
Does anyone else have some decent analysis that isn't hype or bashing? Anyone in the industry perhaps?

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ NM: NFLX) Last Update: 7:50:00 PM ET Jul 15, 2004
Herb Greenberg
Burning and churning at Netflix
By Herb Greenberg, CBS MarketWatch.com
Commentary: Customer defections on the rise
SAN DIEGO (CBS.MW) -- Netflix's second quarter earnings miss was the least of its problems. A bigger issue, which has been the focus of recent columns here and in Herb Greenberg's RealityCheck, was a rise in the number of subscribers who quit, also known as churn.
The source of those columns, money manager Eric Von der Porten of Leeward Investments, concedes that "the company continues to do a fabulous job of attracting new subscribers."
But he quickly adds, "Churn continues to be very high." That's true regardless of whether you use his calculation or the company's. It's higher, however, using his, which he believes are more realistic than those used by Netflix (NFLX).
According to Netflix's method of counting, which includes new subscribers and then divides each quarter by three, churn in the quarter per month was an average of 5.6 percent, up from 4.7 percent in the first quarter. According to Eric's calculation, true churn actually rose to 7 percent, up from 6 percent the prior quarter. That represents "an annualized rate of 84 percent per year -- turning over nearly the entire subscriber base," Eric says. (His calculation is based on 422,000 lost subscribers which equals 141,000 lost per month divided by an average subscriber count of 2.01 million.)
The company says the churn rose because of the 10 percent price increase in June. "However," Eric counters, "Netflix expects its churn rate to remain high." (Actually, as with most of its forecasts, you can drive a truck through the range given for its churn estimates, but I digress...)
One impact of the high churn, notes Eric, is subscriber acquisition costs, which includes advertising and other forms of attracting new customers. They were $35 per subscriber last quarter, up from $30 a year ago. Guidance for the third quarter is $37 to $39, higher than originally forecast. "Netflix would be growing much faster and would be far more profitable if it wasn't churning its customers so fast and having to spend so much money to replace the ones who cancel," Eric says.
All of which goes to prove what broker and longtime Netflix critic Sandy Brasher of the brokerage firm of Rice Voelker has been quoted saying here numerous times: The more business Netflix does, the less money it makes.
And this note to those who may be wondering: No, Netflix never did get back to me on questions raised here a month regarding issues raised by Eric
From another board...
blockbuster does not plan on entering the online market until early next year. they may have a beta site, but they are not prepared to launch because they have a fundamentally different business model. blockbuster is a brick and mortar video/game rental chain. the reason blockbuster is in trouble right now has to do with the fact that they raised their late fees when the cost of operating all of their stores cut into their profit margin and they drove many of their loyal customers to local video/game rental stores, supermarkets, or just about anyone else who had a profitable business and could facilitate adding video and games to their current operation. what emerged was a fragmentation of the video and game rental market which led to the rise of netflix and others in the online industry. the problem blockbuster has now has to do the fact that their current business model stands in stark contrast to that of an online rental company. it is a 'catch 22'. if they draw people to their online site, they will be using their brand to summon these people to the online version of blockbuster and that is a problem because as they draw people away from their stores, losses will mount in their stores all over the country and the most they can do is react to it by closing stores and laying off workers. first, that doesn't go over well with the public. second, it's reactive, so they could actually create huge losses for the company by launching the online version. beyond those obvious problems, blockbuster's most direct competition is netflix which is a company that was built on the mistakes that blockbuster has made. many industry analysts think that this could be the end for blockbuster because there does not seem to be any good way to get out of their current dilemma. btw, have you been watching blockbuster vs. netflix on cnbc? if i had to make a choice between the two, i'll go with netflix.. that is, the company without thousands of stores and employees and no way to pay for any of it.

corporate overview
GamezNFlix, Inc. is an online DVD and video game rental business operating through its Website, www.gameznflix.com, and the Website of its subsidiary VeeGeeZ.com, LLC (VeeGeeZ), www.veegeez.com.
The Company has an internally developed software that allows it to customize its Website for each subscriber currently and in the future.
As of December 31, 2003, GamezNFlix only provided rental services to its subscribers. The Company was originally formed the name SyCo Comics and Distribution Inc. The Company changed its name to Syconet.com, Inc. in 1999, and to Point Group Holdings, Incorporated in 2002. On January 26, 2004, the name of the company was changed to GamezNFlix, Inc.
They have access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. At $18.50 a month, Gameznflix subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD Movies and/or games for playstation2, XBOX, Nintendo etc. There are no due dates or late fees. Both the games and movies are delivered directly to the subscriber’s address by mail with a return postage paid envelope from both east and west coast distribution centers. Their " no late fees, no due dates" online movie rental model has eliminated the hassle involved in choosing, renting and returning movies.
After announcing a new relationship on March 2, 2004 with Ingram Entertainment, they will make an attempt to be the largest online movie and game rental company on the web. Their subscriber base is growing at a rate of anywhere from 20% to 40% per month.
product and services
GameznFlix offers both DVD movie and video game rental services to its subscribers. Members can choose from rental packages of 3 -6 titles outstanding at one time on a monthly subscription basis. Plans are priced at $18.50 for 3 titles package and increase by $5.00 for each package.
Customers can choose from rental packages of 3 - 6 games outstanding on a monthly subscription basis with unlimited replacement of products as long as they are active subscribers. Plans are priced at $18.50 for the 3 game package and increases by $5 for each package.
In March, 2004, the Registrant signed a supply agreement with a national entertainment distributor. The supply agreement is designed to enable the Company to access the most current DVD and video game titles for purposes of meeting rental requests. GameznFlix, through its website, www.gameznflix.com, and its subsidiary VeeGeeZ, www.veegeez.com, is an on-line DVD and video game rental business. GameznFlix's service is an alternative to store based gaming rentals that offers a high level of customer service, quality titles, and product availability.
Management believes that GameznFlix is in a good position to take advantage of the following market conditions:
- Start-up opportunities exist in the on-line video game rental business.
- The need for use of efficient distribution and financial methods.
- Under-served market that has growth opportunity.
- Existing video game rental companies' uneven track record in providing customer service.
GameznFlix's internally developed software enables the company to customize its website for each subscriber currently and in the future. Since the company's software is internally developed, the website is easily changed and expanded to meet customer needs and provide vital business information. GameznFlix's online interface with customers eliminates the need for costly retail outlets and allows it to serve a national customer base with low overhead costs.
GameznFlix currently only provides rental services to its subscribers. Plans are in place to expand and provide sales of used as well as new video game titles at a discounted price. The development of this portion of the website is nearly completed. Management believes by adding these additional services the company will be able to complement its rental service by increasing cash flow and capitalizing on impulse sales to its current subscribers. Additionally, GameznFlix plans to decrease the delivery time and increase our game library utilization by utilizing low-cost, strategic regional distribution centers.
VeeGeeZ seeks to provide its customers with a large selection of video game rental choices on a monthly subscription basis. Customers can sign-up via the web page to rent video games of their choice. The games are then shipped to the customer via first class mail once they have made their selection(s). Active subscribers can retain the games for an indefinite amount of time as long as they are active paying subscribers. Customers can exchange their selections at anytime by returning their game(s) in the pre-addressed package provided.

comparables
Currently there are approximately 12 direct competitors that provide online video game rentals. Some of their competitors include AngelGamer.com, DVDAvenue.com, Gamez2go.com, Govojo.com, Midwest-games.com, RedOctane.com, Rent-a-realm.com, Gamefly.com, and Videogamealley.com. Each of these competitors offers rental packages on a monthly subscription basis with offerings of one to eight games available at varying prices.
GamezNFlix’s key advantage compared to its competitors is that the company offers more comprehensive customer service. GamezNFlix is one of a few on-line video game rental sites that offers a toll free customer service phone number 12 htheirs a day, six days a week. The company also takes customer inquiries and requests via its e-mail address and maintain a policy to answer each e-mail within 6 hours.
Another competitive advantage is, in the opinion of management, better product availability and product availability information. Management has observed that one of the main reasons subscribers decide on which service to purchase is the availability of games. Many sites do not have many games in stock for rental on any given day and many require a wait period of up to 15 days to receive a popular game title. GamezNFlix constantly monitors its inventory versus customer demand using automated reporting to continually update the inventory. In addition, many of the competitors do not allow customers to easily see what games are in stock. GamezNFlix allows customers to see if an individual game is in stock and provide a total percentage of games that are in stock prominently on its website.
GamezNFlix's proprietary queue system and dynamic web server based database system also allows the company to offer customers a more error proof system than some of its competitors due to the lack of manual processes needed to manage the business. The company has its system automatically select the next game a customer receives based on factors such as the subscriber's next game preferences, game availability, length of time a subscriber has been with us, and the subscriber's subscription plan level. To date, GameZnFlix has achieved in excess of 90% accuracy rate for shipping titles to its subscribers.
This system also allows customers the option of putting a " hold" on games for up to five days if a game title is not available when a customer's returned game or games is received. Management believes that none of its competitors offer this feature. The " hold" can be used to wait for a game that has been released already, but is out of stock or to wait for a future release title. This option allows customers to have control over which title they will receive, rather than just receiving the next available game in their queue.
markets
What every company faces, is competition. The market for on-line rental of DVD's and games is competitive and GamezNFlix expects competition to continue to increase. As competition increases, GamezNFlix will look for the edge to keep them above the rest. It is a fierce market with companies cutting wages to look to gain market share.
To be competitive, GamezNFlix believes that it must, among other things, invest resources in developing new services, improving its current services, and maintaining customer satisfaction.
The market for on-line rental is huge and in the next 5 years will see exploisive growth. Those who have established themsleves in this arena early on, their success will depend on the personal efforts and abilities of its senior management. If they are focused and are all on the same page, they will be the ones to lead the pack.

Good News, I just saw my first GamezNFlix commercial on TV. I was semi dozin' with the lifetime tv channel on some movie when I heard the Dell Dude. It looked great on a large screen. I guess this means the advertizing blitz is back on. Great.

Basically it looks like Southern Securities has taken a major position in this company & would have to file with the SEC eveytime they sell just like any other majority shareholder of record. Plus it would appear that GZFX does have a warchest with at least $15 million. The SB-2 clearly says $15 million worth of stock shares & not 15 million shares!
Straight out of the SB-2! This is all I needed to read.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 8, 2004, GameZnFlix entered into an Investment Agreement with Southern Securities, Inc., which is a completed private offering. That agreement provides that following notice to Southern Securities, GameZnFlix may put to Southern Securities up to $15,000,000 million in shares of common stock for a purchase price equal to 88% of the lowest closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of the common stock during the three day period following that notice. Each put will be equal to a minimum of whichever is less: (a) 200% of the average daily volume of our common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the put; or (b) $10,000; provided that in no event will the put amount be more
than $300,000 with respect to any single put. Southern Securities is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the purchase of the common stock under the Investment Agreement and its resale.
The number of shares outstanding prior to the offering (as of April 12, 2004): 556,157,882. The number of shares to be outstanding after this offering, assuming all of the shares offered under this prospectus are purchased under the investment agreement: 706,157,882. Based on the closing market price as of April 12, 2004 of $0.12, this would represent a purchase of 142,045,450 shares by Southern Securities, which would represent 20.34%
of the combined total as of April 12, 2004.

"GameZnFlix may put to Southern Securities up to $15,000,000 million in shares of common stock for a purchase price equal to 88% of the lowest closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of the common stock during the three day period following that notice."
A deal based on the lowest closing bid price during a three day period? Wouldn't Southern Securities want the price to be as LOW as possible, so as to get the best deal? Hmmm. I wonder if there's some funny business going on here? There's certainly motive, right?
Does anyone think this could be the reason for the nose dive in pps?

They have a separate games subscription, so GZFX is still cheaper.

Today a Spinning Top formed. Both the bulls and the bears were active during the session. Even though the session opened and closed with little change, prices moved significantly higher and lower in the mean time. Be careful, this indicates weakness among the bears and a potential change or interruption in the current trend!

As much as I would love to see GZFX go up, be realistic.

Maybe GameZNFlix is a year too late to the party?
Netflix had the advantage of being first to market. GZFX is going up against GameFly and a couple others, and not BlockBuster. A very daunting challenge to say the least.

FRANKLIN, Ky., Jul 28, 2004 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (GZFX) announces the following website data:
The latest data shows that in the month of June 2004 the company's website received an average of approximately 41,000 hits* per day, with a single day high of about 141,000. Since the company resumed its national and local advertising campaign, and after the launch of the redesigned company website on June 23, 2004, the average hits* per day has more than doubled to approximately 89,000, with a single day high of about 123,000.
"We have noticed this increase in the number of website hits* recently," says Matt Sawaqed, a director of the company. He also added, "The ad campaign featuring Ben Curtis will continue to run through the end of 2004 and has been televised nationally on Fox during North Shore, ESPN, ESPN2, BRAVO, Lifetime, UPN, and other national and local networks."
Mr. Sawaqed continued: "GameZnFlix is committed to providing accurate and meaningful information about its business. The company is currently compiling such information in a format comparable to other companies in our industry. The information and reporting methods are under review by management to meet this commitment. Once these have been approved by management, such information will be released to the public on a regular basis."
GameZnFlix is a company that offers both DVD movies/video game rentals on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and/or games with no late fees or due dates. The company's version 2.0 website offers its subscribers the option to purchase both DVD movies and video games along with the continued rental program.
People HATE waiting in LONG LINES.
Next, everyone is waiting on numbers. We want to know how the company is doing in subscription numbers. I think we are probably increasing but until we see hard numbers new investors are not coming on board.
Also, the weak hands, who don't like sitting around, are leaving. This is a good thing. Now all we need is signs of increasing membership and the new commercials this summer. Then to the moon.

I do agree that the price is undervalued right now and with the market down it doesn't really help out the matter. Hopefully (God willing) we will see more green soon. Also lets not set our sights on a doller right now. We haven't even seen 20 cents yet and we are only at 6 whole wopping cents right now.

GameZnFlix and AdSouth Partners Extend Relationship to February 2006
Thursday July 29, 7:09 am ET
FRANKLIN, Ky., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX.OB - News) -- AdSouth Partners (OTC Bulletin Board: ADPR.OB - News) and GameZnFlix have agreed to continue their agreement until February 2006. Both companies have been engaged for a period of almost six months and will continue for an additional eighteen months.
Gary Hohman, COO of AdSouth Partners stated, "After setting realistic six month goals for GameZnFlix and being able to achieve them, this has allowed our companies to begin looking forward to our long-term objectives and charting a course to achieving those." Mr. Hohman further stated, "After airing the initial commercials featuring Dennis Cole, we realized that the GameZnFlix website needed modification; the company was able to respond about the time the Ben Curtis spots began airing. This teamwork between us has allowed us to begin moving forward with the confidence that customers are able to be better serviced. We look forward to working with GameZnFlix in building their business model and achieving their short and long term goals."
Matt Sawaqed, Director of GameZnFlix stated, "AdSouth has helped get the ball rolling during phase one and with their help we have more than accomplished our short term goals with respect to our corporate image, subscribers and overall branding and marketplace positioning. Therefore, we find it advantageous to our members and shareholders to extend this partnership into the second phase of our growth. With the campaign featuring Ben Curtis airing currently and the launch of the spots featuring the U.S. Olympic swimmers for our late summer and fall campaign, it is very exciting for our companies to prepare for the next phase of our relationship"
Matt Sawaqed added, "Because of these marketing activities, it appears as though the business community has taken notice of us. For example, on July 22nd GameZnFlix and spokesperson Ben Curtis was featured in the business section of The New York Sun. Prior to the article appearing, Mr. Curtis was interviewed live on the Howard Stern Morning Radio Show in New York City." Mr. Sawaqed added, "As a continuing effort to promote GameZnFlix, we will be launching a one week radio campaign on the Howard Stern Show starting Monday, August 2nd."

When I come to this board to see what people are saying, which isn't daily, I always find that people are trying to boost others to stick around or there are people bashing the company. I believe the ones bashing the company are the ones looking for a get rich quick scheme and this isn't it.
It is simply annoying to continue to read the same topics over and over. I think when posting it should simply be what is new about the stock and be reminded that this isn't your mothers shoulder to cry on.
I am a pleased share holder and look for the company to "go north" but not all that soon. But I didn't buy it to get "rich" I only purchased it because I haven't a retirement fund and I am hoping this will help that. I believe it was money well spent.

I have been busy, so I haven't had a chance to watch many movies lately. I did get to watch on last Tuesday and I put the DVD in the mail last Wednesday. I received my next movie yesterday. I am really pleased with the turnaround. I live in Baltimore,MD and the distribution location that they have been using for me is their Tennessee location.
I think that patience is the key. The service seems to be improving based on some of the original complaints that I have read/heard about. The website looks and navigates much better. Managing the Queue is extremely improved.
Please post some new service updates, good or bad. I think that this is a true sign of whether this company and it's stock has the potential to succeed or not. Sometimes this threads get too far off of subject or people come in to just bash or pump the stock.
I believe in this company. I am in for the long haul. IMHO, this stock will begin to climb and we will all be pleased with our holdings, it just hasn't happens as quickly as I first thought.

I have experienced the same. Service and shipping times has improved. Although, they still have not fixed several very simple errors on the site. You are unable to browse playstation or gamecube games. I'm sure alot of people signup not having a xobx and would like to be able to rent those.

Will Netflix have to drop prices?

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Already having missed profit expectations in the second quarter as costs rose in an increasingly competitive market, Netflix now may need to drop prices to keep the customers it has.

Blockbuster (BBI: news, chart, profile), which is testing a similar DVD-rental service, appears to be luring consumers with a promotion that is more aggressively priced than current Netflix (NFLX: news, chart, profile) rates.
Blockbuster's rival offering is priced at $19.99 a month, according to its Web site. But anyone signing up for Blockbuster will receive a notice offering an even steeper discount. The promotional membership includes a three-month special at $17.99 for unlimited movies plus two coupons for free in-store rentals. Blockbuster is also offering a six-month special for $15.99 per month for unlimited movies plus two coupons per month for free in-store movie rentals.
Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix now charges $21.99 per month.
In response to this report, Netflix said it doesn't have any plans to change its prices. "Growth forecasts for the end of the year remain strong with more than 150 percent net-income growth (at the mid-range of guidance, 168 percent to be precise)," said a Netflix spokesperson, in an e-mail.
Shares of Netflix fell 8 percent to $17.69 in recent trading. Blockbuster shares were down 10 cents at $13.16.
Blockbuster is controlled by Viacom, a significant shareholder in MarketWatch.com, the publisher of this report.

NO thats not true, Why is tfct and other good penny stocks down then. Don't just bash without taking a look at the market. That was just a stupid statement. The market is DOWN. The market is scared because of the last economic numbers and the feds might raise rates next week.

MARK STACHIEW
The Gazette
August 4, 2004
Q. I saw a television report about a Web site that you can sign up for and the company sends you three DVDs, you watch them, then you send them back. Can you tell me the name of the site?
Q. Video on demand has been a dream for ages, but until home bandwidth increases dramatically, it's still cheaper and easier to physically ship a DVD and its 8 gigabytes of data than it is to download it. Netflix in the U.S. discovered that and created a thriving business renting DVDs by mail.
Netflix isn't operating in Canada yet, although it is rumoured to be eying the Great White North for expansion. Until then, a number of Canadian imitators have popped up to fill the void.
DVDHype (www.dvdhype.com) bills itself as Canada's first online DVD rental store, but it's certainly not alone. Other competitors in the field include Movie For Me (www.moviesforme.ca), Zip (www.zip.ca), VHQ Online (www.vhqonline.ca), DVD Rental (www.dvd-rental.ca), DVDFlix (www.dvdflix.ca), Davada (www.davada.com) and Gamez'n Flix (www.gameznflix.com) which also rents video games.
The services are all similar. You pay a monthly fee of about $20 to $25, select the DVDs you want and the service will mail them to you. Keep them for as long as you want and return them to get more DVDs.
The advantage of these services over your corner video store is that most of them have very large selections of titles. However, there will be times that titles you want to rent are slow in arriving at your door depending on their popularity. As well, the quality of customer service will vary from one company to the next. Since most of them have free trials, your best bet is to take some for a test drive and choose the one you like.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't know we were doing Canada! We've distinguished ourselves up there as well by offering games.

$580m amount consumers spent on video-store late fees in '02 according to Video Store Magazine.
86% of gamers surveyed who say they've puchased a game after renting it.
While most people are at least vaguely familiar with Netflix (NasdaqNM:NFLX - News), whose signature red envelopes bring DVDs by mail to homes and college dormitories across the country in as little as a day, not many realize there are companies doing the same thing for games -- the fastest growing segment of the media.
TWO MAJOR PLAYERS COMPETE
Perhaps the most-recognized name in online game rentals is Los Angeles-based GameFly.com, launched in November 2002. It was started by two former employees of Hollywood talent firm Creative Artists Agency, and is run by David Hodess, a former Walt Disney Co. (NYSE IS - News) executive, who founded Cooking.com
RedOctane's target users tend to be younger than GameFly's, with an average core audience made up of 14- to 25-year-old males.
Those are not the only options, though. There are other services like GPlay (which recently combined with the rentals site TriggerFingers), NumbThumb and GameznFlix (which rents games and movies both) that offer online game rentals.

I haven't heard any rumor they will and don't think they would without proof of it making them money. It would cost them a lot of money because they have no inventory right now.
Saying that, you still need to go back to previous PR on NetFlix were it was stated that they needed others to come into the market to help with the members that stay. They were eating up there profits. I Don't think even if they started games today it would hurt to bad. Just slow down the current membership a little. By the way, If Blockbuster were to start offering there games with there movies, I think that would hurt a lot more then NetFlix. I was glad to see them offer it on seperate packages myself.
Its a slow time in the penny market right now and I think GZFX will be back strong soon. The only thing that bothers me right now is I don't have any extra money to buy at these prices.

PluggedIn: Video games too expensive? Rent online
Tuesday August 10, 12:09 pm ET
By Ben Berkowitz
LOS ANGELES, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Parents, know this about your college-bound children: They are going to party as hard as possible. And, if they could major in video games, they would.
But with new games costing up to $50 each, few students -- and few young adults, for that matter -- can afford to buy them regularly, which is why a number of companies want to do what Netflix did for DVDs and bring game rentals to the masses.
ADVERTISEMENT
While most people are at least vaguely familiar with Netflix (NasdaqNM:NFLX - News), whose signature red envelopes bring DVDs by mail to homes and college dormitories across the country in as little as a day, not many realize there are companies doing the same thing for games -- the fastest growing segment of the media.
For gamers who want to play the latest titles but cannot afford the high cost of new games, renting is an obvious alternative, particularly since a bad game, once bought, will have relatively little resale value compared with better games.
Though no one has yet put a reliable figure on revenue from online game rentals, in the bricks-and-mortar world, game rentals have been declining for years.
From a peak in 2000 of $919 million in revenue, on 216.8 million turns (or rentals of individual copies of a game), in 2003 rental revenue was $722 million, on 155.7 million turns, according to Rentrak, a business intelligence provider.
But online game rental companies figure their service is perfect for their target audience: young men who want to sit around and play games and may not have the time or the initiative to go and seek them out.
TWO MAJOR PLAYERS COMPETE
Perhaps the most-recognized name in online game rentals is Los Angeles-based GameFly.com, launched in November 2002. It was started by two former employees of Hollywood talent firm Creative Artists Agency, and is run by David Hodess, a former Walt Disney Co. (NYSE IS - News) executive, who founded Cooking.com.
GameFly's core audience consists of 25- to 35-year-old men, who Hodess calls "early adopters," and its ads feature an attractive woman in what might be called a seductive postal uniform. GameFly does not use red envelopes like Netflix, but stays close to the color scheme with orange.
"Fundamentally, the game experience is different from the movie experience," Hodess told Reuters. "The movie experience is maybe once or twice ... a lot of it is weekend oriented. Games, I think the average gameplay is something like 20 hours and that typically takes places over (four to eight) sessions."
One of GameFly's major competitors is RedOctane. While GameFly calls itself the largest game rental service, RedOctane -- which started in 1999 -- says it is the oldest.
RedOctane's Chief Executive, Kai Huang, said there is a question of scale that makes his and other competing services more attractive.
"The video stores still have limitations, of course. They don't stock the breadth of titles we carry; they don't stock the depth," he said in a recent telephone interview.
RedOctane's target users tend to be younger than GameFly's, with an average core audience made up of 14- to 25-year-old males.
GameFly's offers three subscription plans, letting users keep one ($13.95) to three ($29.95) games out at any given time. RedOctane users can get anywhere from two to five games at a time, for $18.95 to $39.95 per month.
While both companies have a more limited distribution network than Netflix, they also say their users keep games longer than DVD renters -- in many cases for as long as two weeks.
Those are not the only options, though. There are other services like GPlay (which recently combined with the rentals site TriggerFingers), NumbThumb and GameznFlix (which rents games and movies both) that offer online game rentals.
And Blockbuster (NYSE:BBI - News), the most ubiquitous of real-world rental stores, has not given up in the face of these online upstarts: the company has recently launched its own Game Pass, offering unlimited rentals in stores for $19.99 a month.

I do agree!! Here is quote from the article, "not many realize there are companies doing the same thing for games...". It DOES NOT state Netflix is getting INTO renting games like other companies.
Regarding Pennystocks being a little sluggish but that makes sense since the whole economy has been sluggish this summer. Iraqi war, energy prices, job growth, etc... IMHO of course.
Wonder if Netflix is going to make the move? Seems like a natural thing for them to do. I mean, they already have distribution, its just a matter of creating inventory and adding it to the site. And knowing that Blockbuster is in the game, they wont want to be too far behind.
So why is GZFX languishing under .06 now? Anyone have some real input?

He stated it the best. I have tried to say it. It's the summer slump. The market as a whole is down. All, well most, pennies are down. We had bad numbers this month on all fronts and with the political front going on its a bad time for the market. Oil is the biggy right now though. Once the oil price stabilize and the bad economic #'s go by the wayside, all will go to normal. I foresee a bad week in general since the feds rose rates and oil this week. Hopefully it will settle down and next week maybe better.

I agree. Started seeing it last week. Only problem has been all the bad news in the market. I think it is slowing the turn around up. But this one does follow the charts pretty good. You can usually trust TA on this one.
Ric
That said charts look like they want to turn around soon if investors start buying again. It's just a selling market right now overall.

As for being long, I don't suggest it at this point. The blockbuster news just crushed my hopes for GZFX. Actually can't believe no one has posted the news from Blockbuster (BBI)Brandon

Which one. A lot for them today. By the way BlockBuster launched its online site today if you want to know what we are talking about. I agree with you over the games but BlockBuster does offer games. Just not as a package with movies. They rent 3 games for 19.99 a month or 3 movies at a time for 19.99. It well hurt short term but I think as long as they continue offering them as two distinct packages we will still make it.

I see what you are saying ric, but here it is. If it can be profitable to do both then they will. If its not for some reason they won't, but then that would show that GZFX can't be profitable doing it. Anyway you look at it, at this point if Netflix or Blockbuster even mention including games, the party is over. I am becoming more and more convinced that GZFX has bullshi*ed too long. I urge everyone to take profits when you can and forget about the very long positions. I do believe the future for GZFX is very dark. I hate to be thinking this, but JMO. Gonna go a little farther and state this, I had to cancel my subscription to GZFX and join NFLX since it takes an act of congress to get a new release from them. Even a fairly new release. Very bad dealings for movie fans. I tried to get bad santa and secret window for 3 weeks through GZFX, a no go. Signed with NFLX trial subscription just to see, got em first thing. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I still think money can be made off a nice bounce but my long position has been canceled. Good luck

I disagree on the long term outlook. There is room for many competetors. Netflix has said that already. It stated that we can't make it alone because members that stay long term eat up profits and need to be shared.

I'm in long and don't see any problems with the blockbuster competition. It's part of the game you guys. GZFX still has the lowest price of them all for both games and movies hands down.
The buy option on the website is up and running! GLTA... Long and strong here and sleeping well at night :-)

Doesn't matter if they been around 2 days. This is capitalism and you gotta move fast or someone will beat you to it. Do what you want but do not strike out at me please.Brandon
GZFX hasn't been around over a year either by the way. In Feb. PGHI looked into going into a new direction. They changed to GZFX and wanted to go into online rentals. Do it from scratch too. March they started working on a web site and made deals with ad south to do there ads. In April they went live but limited. In may was when they really got started. June they realized that they needed to have a better site and worked to that end and postponed ads until it was up. In July investors forced them to run there new site even though it still had bugs. And here we are now. Were is the over year?
Ric -- Owned this stock since Feb.

The charts don't show the facts. Yes PGHI was a company last year but they didn't do online rentals. They changed there name and started over in Feb. Need to read not just look at charts. Trust me on this. I know GZFX. I have been doing research on it since Feb 2004. Look at old boards under search.
Honestly man I don't want to argue with you over a message board. I will talk with you in yahoo messenger about it if you want but otherwise this is ending. If you are still holding from February and didnt take profits a while ago..Then we playing two different games here. The candles point to a bounce coming. When it happens take profits and buy back at this price again if you want. Read a biginner's guide to short term trading by Toni Turner. Helped me a long time ago. Good luck with your investment. And also if you want to make some money and not have to wait 6 months to do it.. Try shorting KMRT and ASKJ...DISH also looks to be a good long right now..

OUR TAKE
Surveying for Growth
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible)
August 12, 2004
"The Internet can be an amazing tool if used correctly. eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) proved that you can expand on the flea market bazaar concept and make it even more vibrant when a world of sellers and bidders lies a click away. Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) taught us that you can provide a platform for renting DVDs online that is superior to the localized experience. Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) consumer-direct model was perfect for the cost-saving benefits of Web-enabled ordering."

My outlook is wait for an apparent bottom & buy!

Quarterly Report
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Overview.
The Registrant, through its website www.gameznflix.com is an on- line console video game and DVD movie rental business dedicated to providing customers a quality rental experience. The company offers customers a reliable, web-based, high-quality alternative to traditional store based gaming rentals on a national scale. The Registrant's service is an alternative to store based gaming rentals that offer a high level of customer service, quality titles, and superior product availability.
In March 2004, the Registrant launched its website, http://www.gameznflix.com, and began operating in the online DVD and video game rental industry. In conjunction with the website launch, the company also launched a national television ad campaign designed to create awareness among the company's target consumers and to generate traffic to the website. In June 2004, the Registrant launched the second phase of the television ad campaign, and launched its redesigned website on its new IBM server. This second phase is more narrowly designed to attract the core consumer to the products of the Registrant and smooth out the initial operations of the company.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to focus its attentions and investment of resources in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its client base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its client base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and the ability to continue to operate the business.
Results of Operations.
(a) Revenues.
The Registrant reported approximately $27,000 and $58,000 of gross income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $37,000 and $79,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. This represents an approximate 27% decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the prior periods. The decreased revenue was due to the change in business focus from consulting services to DVD and video game rentals. Overall, the Registrant reported approximately $(17,000) and $9,000 gross profit (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $37,000 and $79,000 of gross profit in the prior periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Registrant primarily spent its efforts on redesigning its website and developing its marketing campaign which in effect resulted in an overall decrease in gross income as compared to the prior periods.
(b) Advertising.
The Registrant reported approximately $1,571,000 and $1,675,000 in advertising expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared $-0- in the prior periods. Advertising expenses increased as result of the marketing campaign through television advertising and is anticipated to continue at similar levels in next six to twelve months.
(c) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 approximated $215,000 and $488,000, compared to $280 and $6,300 for the prior periods. The increase compared to the prior periods was primarily due to salaries. The Registrant believes selling, general and administrative expenses will continue at such levels due to anticipated growth in the next six to twelve months.
(d) Consulting Fees Expenses.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, consulting fees approximated $1,061,000 and $2,381,000 compared to $33,000 and $68,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase in these expenses is due primarily to hiring of business consultants to develop the Registrant's business model for the launching of the DVD movie and video game on-line rental service. The Registrant believes that such expenses will continue for the next six months since as of June 30, 2004, prepaid consulting expenses approximated $2,699,000 that will be significantly expensed within the next six months.
(e) Professional Fees Expense.
The Registrant incurred professional fees expenses of $81,000 and $159,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $1,500 in the same period ended for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase is primarily due to the retaining of attorneys and accountants for purpose of beginning operations of the DVD and video game rental online service.
(f) Net Loss.
The Registrant reported a net operating loss of $2,968,000 and $4,722,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net operating profit of $9,500 and $294,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, which was due to the foregoing factors described above. The Registrant believes that such losses will continue for at least the next six to twelve months as it continues the marketing campaign and brand recognition of "GameZnFlix" to the general public and targeted consumers.
Factors That May Affect Operating Results.
The operating results of the Registrant can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside its control. General factors that may affect the Registrant's operating results include:
- market acceptance of and changes in demand for services;
- a small number of customers account for, and may in future periods account for, substantial portions of the Registrant's revenue, and revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers;
- gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
- announcement or introduction of new services by the Registrant or by its competitors;
- price competition;
- the ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
- the ability to introduce and market services in accordance with market demand;
- changes in governmental regulation; and
- reduction in or delay of capital spending by clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to invest in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its customer base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its customer base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and its ability to continue to operate its business.
The Registrant is also subject to the following specific factors that may affect its operating results:
(a) Competition.
The market for on-line rental of DVD's and games is competitive and the Registrant expects competition to continue to increase. In addition, the companies with whom the Registrant has relationships could develop services that compete with the Registrant's services. Also, some competitors in the Registrant's market have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and greater brand recognition than the Registrant does. The Registrant also expects to face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the market for on-line rentals. To be competitive, the Registrant believes that it must, among other things, invest resources in developing new services, improving its current services, and maintaining customer satisfaction. Such investment will increase the Registrant's expenses and affect its profitability. In addition, if it fails to make this investment, the Registrant may not be able to compete successfully with its competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on its revenue and future profitability.
(b) Technological and Market Changes.
The markets in which the Registrant competes are characterized by new service introductions, evolving industry standards, and changing needs of customers. There can be no assurance that the Registrant's existing services will continue to be properly positioned in the market or that it will be able to introduce new or enhanced products into the market on a timely basis, or at all. Currently, the Registrant is focusing on upgrading and introducing new services. There can be no assurance that enhancements to existing products or new products will receive customer acceptance.
There is a risk to the Registrant that there may be delays in initial implementation of new services. Further risks inherent in new service introductions include the uncertainty of price-performance relative to services of competitors, competitors' responses to its new service introductions, and the desire by customers to evaluate new services for longer periods of time.
(c) Key Personnel.
The Registrant's success is largely dependent on the personal efforts and abilities of its senior management. The loss of certain members of the Registrant's senior management, including the company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief technical officer, could have a material adverse effect on the company's business and prospects.
The Registrant intends to recruit in fiscal year 2004 employees who are skilled in its industry. The failure to recruit these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's business. As a result, the Registrant may experience increased compensation costs that may not be offset through either improved productivity or higher revenue. There can be no assurances that the Registrant will be successful in retaining existing personnel or in attracting and recruiting experienced qualified personnel.
Operating Activities.
The net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2,293,000, as compared to $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. A significant portion of cash used was attributed to marketing and professional expenses related to developing, launching and marketing the on-line rental of DVD's and games.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of June 30, 2004, the Registrant had total current assets of approximately $790,000 and total current liabilities of $1,438,000, resulting in a working capital deficit of $648,000.
The Registrant commenced a private placement on November 29, 2003 and sold approximately 12,722,000 shares of common stock from that date to June 8, 2004 to 116 investors (93 of which are accredited) for a total consideration of approximately $642,000. In addition, from February 18, 2004 to June 23, 2004, options covering approximately 26,795,000 shares of common stock were exercised (average of $0.064 per share) into free trading stock under the Registrant's Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in proceeds to the company of approximately $1,713,000.
The Registrant's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity or debt financing. The Registrant estimates that it will need to raise up to $10,000,000 over the next twelve months for such purposes. However, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to the Registrant. The ability of the Registrant to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Registrant's business plan. The Registrant's independent accountants audit reports included in the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 includes a substantial doubt paragraph regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Registrant may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of its planned product development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition, which could require the company to:
- curtail operations significantly;
- sell significant assets;
- seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the company to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or
- explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of the company.
To the extent that the Registrant raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Registrant's operations. Regardless of whether the Registrant's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the company's operational needs, the Registrant may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which will also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Inflation.
The impact of inflation on the costs of the Registrant, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Registrant is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Registrant's operations over the past quarter, and the company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.
Other.
The Registrant does not provide post-retirement or post- employment benefits requiring charges under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and No. 112.
Critical Accounting Policies.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" ("FRR 60"), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Registrant's most critical accounting policies include: (a) use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements; (b) valuation of stock-based compensation; (c) revenue recognition; and (d) impairment of long-lived assets. The methods, estimates and judgments the Registrant uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Registrant reports in its financial statements.
(a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Registrant to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Registrant evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. The Registrant bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
(b) Valuation of Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements.
The Registrant intends to issue shares of common stock to various individuals and entities for management, legal, consulting and marketing services. These issuances will be valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of shares issued is determined, based upon the open market closing price of common stock as of the date of each respective transaction. These transactions will be reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Registrant's statement of operations.
(c) Revenue Recognition.
Revenue from proprietary software sales that does not require further commitment from the Registrant is recognized upon shipment. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. License revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license. Video game subscription revenues are recognized when billed. Customers are required to authorize a monthly automatic charge to a major credit card. Because of this, the billing and receipt of revenue occur simultaneously. Subscribers pay on a monthly basis and may cancel service at anytime. The cost of services, consisting of staff payroll, outside services, equipment rental, communication costs and supplies, is expensed as incurred.
(d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Registrant reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Registrant would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles.
Forward Looking Statements.
The foregoing management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "forecast," "project," and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. These are statements that relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements as to the Registrant's estimates as to the adequacy of its capital resources, its need and ability to obtain additional financing, the features and benefits of its services, its growth strategy, the need for additional sales and support staff, its operating losses and negative cash flow, its critical accounting policies, and factors contributing to its future growth. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed above, as well as risks related to the Registrant's ability to develop and introduce new services. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Registrant expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Money well spent! Personally I want them to spend alot more in this area!

The Registrant reported approximately $27,000 and $58,000 of gross income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 . . .
If I'm understanding this correctly, the $27,000 is gross income for the first 3 months and the $58,000 is gross income over the 6 month total. If so, would it be safe to say that GZFX barely increased their NET number of subscribers?

"The Registrant reported approximately $27,000 and $58,000 of gross income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004."
So that's $85,000 for the first 6 months of the year.
$85,000/6 is $14,166 per month in gross income.
To generate $14,166 per month in income, it would require 766 memberships at $18.50 per month.
With only 766 memberships, you should be able to get your hands on any Playstation game you want.

If I had the inclination, I could watch twenty movies over the weekend with that 14.99/month fee. Beats waiting for the mail!
That is one other possibility for the PPS plunge.Blockbuster and others will probably do what they can to limit the competition.DZ

I just want to see an increase in sub numbers & watch them pick up market share. That will cure this slide in stock price.
One thing contributing to this would be the fact that we have an insider, Sawaqed, that has been selling. My guess is he won't be with this company much longer but he's sure as hell not helping himself or anyone else right now.

FRANKLIN, Ky., Aug 17, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX) believes that it offers the best overall value to renters of online DVD and video games.
CEO/President John Fleming stated, "With Blockbuster recently entering the online rental market, this appears to be another indication that the DVD and video game rental market will continue to grow and expand. We at GameZnFlix believe that our business model is right on target when compared to what the other competitors offer. For example (comparison data taken from each company website):
"When comparing the services available between the three companies, GameZnFlix has the most affordable month membership fee of only $18.50 compared to NetFlix at $21.99 and Blockbuster at $19.99. In addition, of the three only GameZnFlix offers the military and their families an even greater value beginning at $16.50 per month, with a one month free membership. GameZnFlix also offers further flexibility by allow its members to choose between 5 different price ranges depending the number of titles the member would like to have at any given time, while NetFlix and Blockbuster only offer two options."
Mr. Fleming continued, "Only GameZnFlix and Blockbuster offer their members the opportunity to purchase DVD and video games under their memberships. As to available titles, GameZnFlix offers about 28,000 compared to NetFlix and Blockbuster both offering only about 25,000."
GameZnFlix is a company that offers both DVD movies/video game rentals on the Internet with access to over about 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and/or games with no late fees or due dates. The company's version 2.0 website offers its subscribers the option to purchase both DVD movies and video games along with the continued rental program.

Hopefully this means when the penny market starts coming around GZFX will be able to move and move fast. I still say the Blockbuster deal won't hurt too bad as long as there movies and games are kept separate and we can start advertising our product to the right target group. I still think we will be a great investment and I hope to see great things in the future.
Part of the June 8th S-8 filings:
On June 8, 2004, GameZnFlix entered into an Investment Agreement with
Southern Securities, Inc., which is a completed private offering. That
agreement provides that following notice to Southern Securities, GameZnFlix
may put to Southern Securities up to $15,000,000 million in shares of common
stock for a purchase price equal to 88% of the lowest closing bid price on
the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of the common stock during the three day
period following that notice. Each put will be equal to a minimum of
whichever is less: (a) 200% of the average daily volume of our common stock
for the 10 trading days prior to the put notice date, multiplied by the
average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the
put; or (b) $10,000; provided that in no event will the put amount be more
than $300,000 with respect to any single put. Southern Securities is an

Yesterday 8,201,190 shares were added to the O/S, meaning that it propably was S-8 Shares, which does partially explain yesterday's drop in PPS.

FRANKLIN, Ky., Aug 18, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (GZFX) today filed with Securities and Exchange Commission a request to withdraw its previously filed Form SB-2 registration statement.
CEO/President John Fleming stated, "Management decided to withdraw the Form SB-2, filed on June 11, 2004, because we did not feel it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with this offering at this time. The Company intends to secure alternate sources of private financing."
GameZnFlix is a company that offers both DVD movies/video game rentals on the Internet with access to over about 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both DVD movies and/or games with no late fees or due dates. The Company's version 2.0 website offers its subscribers the option to purchase both DVD movies and video games along with the continued rental program.
Watch for a move above the 10 day EMA at .05 for a reversal signal. The
stock's stochastics are showing oversold, and RSI appears to be
strengthening. Watch the MACD in the next few trading days for a move towards
the signal line.
Understand that this is a bottom bounce play, and that technicals have
not yet signaled a buy.

I agree 100%. We may be range bound or even dip again. Overall it appears that we've hit that bottom & it's all up from here. I'm glad they pulled the SB-2. Just tells me management's not pressed. They'll get financing on better terms.

It has no effect on the price increase at this level. It does on how high it can go in the long run but none on the short term. This has a lot of potential for growth.

Nice to see green & I like the way it's moving. slow & steady, creeping north & setting up for a 3 day run.
I would love to see it run then hold it's gains somewhere over .11 so we would jump from there on some good sub numbers.

Your welcome Donnyboy!
I bought more yesterday at .42 & should have jumped on the early .36! I believe we've seen our bottom & remember, if you're playing this long subs will take us over a buck. Once they start posting sub numbers we will ride this like a sector play. Even now I'm rooting fo Netflix to out perform Blockbuster. We will go up & down in tandem with them. When we & others begin to announce hard numbers the whole online game & DVD rental thing will form it's own sector.
We will experience the same dynamic as XMSR & SIRI to a lesser degree because those two have a virtual FCC lock on their sector. We will have more competition which will actually help us over the long haul because all these companies will have to reach an unspoken agreement of sorts to remain viable. Some won't make it & that's why our share price is so low right now. Good news is I'm convinced this company will make it because they've already achieved the hardest goals (launching) & they are willing to spend money to make money as evidenced by Ben Curtis commercials.
I really hope they follow through on their Super Bowel commercial. That will be the defining moment for them! The best exposure at the best possible time. If they do that it will not be long after that when we see a dollar plus!
Under a nickle a share,,,

I never thought this stock would go back to the point it's at now since the company has done what they said they'd do. So, I'm with whizknock that we need to see subscription numbers - and lots of them! I'd love to buy more but I'm all tapped out.
Does anyone have a feel for when we might get a report on subscription numbers? Will we be waiting until the next quarterly report timeframe? If so, that would be November. So, what other PR between now and then could boost the PPS?

Well i would say that Blockbuster and Wal-Mart both getting into the online rental business doesn't help. The fact that GZFX's site is horrible and basically unusable. Just go to their site, then go to Blockbuster's and Netflix's and browse all 3 and you will see. By next year, Netflix is supposed to offer movie downloads off the net. I know people keep saying, but noone else offers games along with movies. But it is quite obvious that doesn't mean much to investors. Cause they are aware that its only a matter of time. Honestly the main thing bringing this stock down is that they at this point..over a month maybe 2 later, still have just barely, and I mean barely improved their site.. Truly people are not gonna join with their site like that. But what it shows me is that they are not an aggressive company at all. Obviously they must not have a webmaster to keep their site up. I have to say that they are neglegent in their duties to actually give every effort in increasing shareholder eqity. I talked about what was going to happen here a couple pages back....Hope some listened. As always...Good Luck...

However, the selection will be important for me. Gameznflix claims they have a larger selection of movies than Netflix and Blockbuster. I will also be curious to see how easy it is to navigate the website. You're limited as to what you can see if you're not signed up.

I live on the east coast. I joined in Dec 2000 with high hopes and high expectations. I was very disappointed. The service was always slow and most of the movies I selected had very long waiting periods. It was easier to find available titles at the local rental outlets. I couldn't stand wasting my money any longer. I cancelled service after about 4 months and I am very glad I did.
7/31/01 10:50 PM
I agree with most comments above. Service is slow and waits are long, but it is convenient to have the videos. We subscribe to six and usually have 3 to 4 available.
However, recently I have noted that new releases simply show up on their website as unavailable. It makes we wonder if they are going out of business and simply not ordering new titles

New user for about a month. No problem geting the DVD's. But 2 out of 5 rentals have never been acknowledged as recieved by NetFlix. Seems kinda strange. They come to me alright but they don't seem to make it back. Using the same envelope. Hmmmm......
Netflix DVD rental ripoff charging me for a dvd that i never receiveed and i reported that i didn't get it ripoff waste of time SAN JOSE California
Netflix DVD rental (Category: Liars )
Date Created: 4/13/2002 10:58:51 AM (Last Modified:4/13/2002 10:58:51 AM )
I rented some movies the ones that I received was not my first choice.
I wrote to them and told them that i dind't receive one of the movies that they were going to charge me for so they took out the twenty dollars for three rentals but i only receive two, then after i reported that i didn't receive one of the movies to close my account they told me they were going to charge my credit card anather twenty dollars, and thats not right because i didn't receive the third movie.
Plus they state you rent all the movies you want for twenty dollars a month but turn around and onlt send you three per month.
so that is adifferent from what they said.
and i don't want them to charge my card again.

Well, it's official.....Netflix sucks. Of the first 3 DVDs I got 2 of them were scratched so badly that my player would freeze up over and over. ARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
What the hell are people doing with these discs....using them to scrape paint off of concrete?
I suppose it doesn't help that Netflix ships them out in a thin paper sleeve.
Too bad. I really had high hopes for this service as you simply CANNOT rent DVDs of many films that are more than a few years old around here & I can barely tolerate VHS anymore.

I had thought about trying Netflix, until I saw a story on them on one of the many "prime time news" TV shows. They showed those flimsy envelopes you referred to. I knew the DVDs wouldn't survive the post office, let alone those users who treat the merchandise as if it were indestructable.
Another customer, lost. The continuing story of American business.

Why haven't you updated this to reflect that it wasn't Netflix, but your crappy Panasonic DVD player that now won't play *any* DVD for more than 20 minutes?
Posted by Glocksman @ 09/03/2002 01:23 AM CST
To Glocksman:
I haven't updated this because I stand by my original assertion that Netflix sucks! It's true that my Panasonic is going south. ( BUT, it can and does play "normal" non "scratch & dent" discs (including BlockBuster rentals) for about 45 minutes before it locks up.....Netflix discs only last about 15 minutes.
Now, is it true that a non screwed DVD player may not have a problem with Netflix DVDs? Possibly, maybe...WHO KNOWS? I'm not willing to gamble with it again. It's VERY frustrating to get 15 minutes into a movie and then NOT be able to finish it. Not fun.
As I said I stand behind my original post. From my admittedly limited experience Netflix discs are shipped in a flimsy mailer and tend to be pretty scratched up.

Posted by Reed Napier @ 12/26/2002 11:19 AM CST
I was a NetFlix member for only a month. Within that month I had 4 DVDs that I sent back which NetFlix claimed they never received. I had to cancel my membership because I didn't want NetFlix to think I was stealing DVDs or end up paying for them. Something is definitely very wrong with NetFlix's handling of returned DVDs. I rather deal with Blockbuster and pay higher prices than deal with NetFlix's unpredictable service.
Posted by Farrah Carr @ 01/12/2003 01:09 AM CST
In my two months of service I had to report 6 DVDs lost, since they never arrived. AFTER reporting them lost, I received TWO discs of the same movies together (not in the same envelope, but in the same delivery). When I asked Netflix about this (by email, just try finding their phone number on the site...) they said that I should file a report with USPS. This obviously is NOT a USPS problem, since the DVDs are not really lost, but are not sent out until reported lost!
I changed my mailing address to my office, hoping this will solve the problem, and now 1 out of every 2 DVDs I mail Netflix gets lost in the mail. I just got an email from them that they are putting my account on hold, since 6 DvDs are "lost".
Posted by Vic @ 01/31/2003 12:03 PM CST
While Netflix in the beginning was great - lightning fast service, great selection, etc...now that they have started advertising on TV they can't hang...Never is anything resembling a new release available, and even some older movies with limited appeal have a "long wait". I cancelled. Too bad, as it is a great idea.

I've been a NetFlix member thrice now. You'd think that, from what all I know about them, I wouldn't keep coming back — "twice burnt, learnt", you'd think. As incredibly convenient as it can be, NetFlix cheats, lies and steals.
But so does everybody else...
I'll probably continue this membership till I can't find anything else I want to see badly enough to put it in my queue, anymore. That's what happened last time — the first time I quit angry.

My Disappointment with Netflix
October 2003
I've recently upgraded to the $40 plan which allows the customer to have 8 DVDs out in hopes this would decrease my wait time. Well, I'm still waiting. Initially, I was quite satisfied with their service: DVDs were arriving in the mail in a timely manner about twice a week. This was with their standard $20 plan. I'm not sure what's changed but DVD shipments trickled down to once a week. That's when I upgraded to the $40 plan. I had hopes the $40 plan would keep DVDs arriving at my door throughout the week but that hasn't happened. Read my journal to hear the latest news.
By the way. How are these DVDs getting so scratched up anyways? Do people scrub their floors with them.
Recipe for making a Netflix rental DVD
Buy one perfectly brand new DVD
Lightly scour the DVD with fine sand paper
Grab a kitchen fork and randomly gouge the DVD - just a few times and not too deep

Eddie of Sacramento CA writes (1/31/03):
Absolutely despicable wait times for new DVD releases. For the first 6-8 weeks, I always received the movies I requested. Since then, every new release I request is at least a short wait and most are a long or very long wait (which amounts to 2-3 months to receive the DVD requested). No matter the price, nobody wants to wait 3 months to view a new release - especially when you can run down to Blockbuster and rent it within a week of its release. Netflix has a monthly churn rate of 7% which means they lose 84% of their customers annually - a recipe for disaster and if they hope to remain in existence, they should ensure they have enough of the new releases on hand to satisfy all of their subscribers.
Ador of Fairfield CA writes (10/24/01):
I have been a member of Netflix Movie Rental since August 2001. For the first two months the average movies viewed were 17 a month; in the month of October my monthly average suddenly dropped tremendously, as of the 24th I only viewed 5 movies.
I inquired through the customer service on Oct 21 (Sun) to find out the reason for nonshipment or replacement of movies received. I was informed to call back on weekdays to speak to their supervisor. The next day Oct 22 (Mon) I called the customer service and I was informed that my membership was suspended, and provided no reason.
In reviewing my membership terms and conditions, upon their receipt of movies replacement should have been mailed the next business day. My membership allows me to have 3 movies out at a time for $21.37 a month. My records indicate one movie was returned and received by Netflix on Oct 6 and the other 2 were returned and received on Oct 10, neither one has been replaced to present.
A clear indication of breach of contract with the paying customer. Their theme, watch all movies you want, is misleading.

Sunny - There is a couple reason the price is down. It started with the market itself. Like QBID the stock went down alot. It followed most pennies. People on vacation, politics effecting the market. Feds rose rates. Oil prices and the middle east problems and just the normal August slump.
But what happen next was the killer. After we went down and was hit hard by the market, Blockbuster came in and launched there new web site (too bad they didn't do it as the market was going down)driving pps down even further. No one is really selling though, just look at volume.
IMO, I think that once everyone gets inot the game again and the pennies start moving that we will move too. It will take a little time but once we get to see numbers and the pennies get going we will run.

Yes there are several to choose from and most won't make it past Netflix, Blockbuster or Wal-Mart. The reason people are trying to place hope in this one is a couple reason:
1) National Ads
2) DVD's plus Games in one package
These are pennies and investors are coming in at there own risk and I for one think this one has a chance.
Do your own dd. I have done mine.

Familiarity of a brand's advertising increased on average 37.5% (excluded Netpliance to avoid skewing the numbers too much).
Likeability of the brand's advertising increased on average 130% (excluded Netpliance since they started at zero).
Familiarity of the brands increased on average 76.3%.
Likeability of the brands increased on average 18.3%.
I think these numbers should be a real confidence booster for Gameznflix shareholders.
Thanks for the information, Ric.

ComScore Study Shows Cross-Media Impact of Super Bowl Nudes
Posted by Kevin Lee
5 Feb 2004
comScore: Super Bowl Advertisements and Publicity Stunts Score Online
ComScore watches the surfing behavior of millions of people and on Super Bowl Sunday was proof positive of the link between the immediate impact of both advertising and PR. Cialis (an advertiser) saw an 1,868 percent increase in web traffic to its site vs. the prior Sunday. GoldenPalace.com also saw a 380 percent spike, but I'm sure streakers cost less than a Super Bowl spot. Needless to say, Janet Jackson related searches were the hottest of all, where halftime incident related searches "accounted for astonishing 50 percent of the total search volume among the top 200 search phrases."
Press Release
Super Bowl Advertisements and Publicity Stunts Score Online
Survey Reveals Budweiser Takes the Crown for Third Straight Year
Reston, Va., Feb. 5, 2004 – comScore Networks, the leader in the use of the Internet to measure and understand consumer behavior, today released an analysis of Internet visitation and preferences related to Super Bowl XXXVIII. The analysis tracked game day Web visitation driven by the Super Bowl and related publicity stunts, such as the now famous Janet Jackson incident and the halftime on-field streaker. In addition, comScore’s third annual Super Bowl survey revealed this year’s most liked advertisements.
Link------
Cialis.com Posts the Largest Game Day Jump
According to an analysis of site visitors on Super Bowl Sunday versus an average of the previous four Sundays, erectile dysfunction drug site Cialis.com had the largest gain of all major Super Bowl advertiser sites, rising nearly 1,900 percent above its average level. Apple iTunes saw a nearly 600 percent jump in site traffic volume driven largely by a Pepsi promotion offering 100 million free songs through the pay-per-download music service.
Just as was the case last year, automobile sites were prominent beneficiaries of Super Bowl related traffic spikes. Dodge, which rolled out its new Magnum model, saw traffic to its site gain nearly 140 percent on game day. Ford and Cadillac, both of which also promoted a number of high performance vehicles, drew 94 and 19 percent more visitors on Super Bowl Sunday than the previous four Sundays. Beyond the automotive industry, TheTruth.com jumped 72 percent driven by The American Legacy’s “Shards O’Glass” anti-tobacco spoof.
“Aside from reaching an enormous audience, Super Bowl advertisers count on a buzz effect before, during and well past the big game,” said Peter Daboll, president and CEO of comScore Media Metrix. “Year after year, our research finds that many Super Bowl advertisements drive immediate spikes in visitation that often pay dividends well past game day.”

FRANKLIN, Ky., Sep 8, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (GZFX) is pleased to announce that beginning in September and running through January 31st each new member who signs up for a four-month prepaid membership to GameZnFlix.com will receive a free DVD player and be automatically entered in the company's "You're Our Star" contest drawing. Three members will be selected from the drawing and will appear in the company's planned Super Bowl television advertisement. The program allows for new members to receive the player at end of the four-month membership period and gives them incentive to continue to use GameZnFlix's services.
John Fleming stated, "The competition can educate our future customers but we believe we will provide the services and incentives for them to choose us. In my opinion, consumers want value, which we provide, selection, which we provide, and a little incentive to choose our service over a similar one, which we are now providing. In the past months, we have seen some major companies enter our business; we welcome them and hope this program will set the standards for them to follow. This increased competition, we believe, tells us that the company's business model is on the right track, and motivates us to be better."
Mr. Fleming continued on, "As the subject of attrition has come to the forefront of this industry recently, we have chosen to follow a similar model used by Microsoft's launch of MSN. That program provided point of sale cash for a long term commitment to their service. This program is attempting to capture an educated and informed consumer, for a period of no less than four months. We hope this will build a more stable customer base going into 2005."
GameZnFlix is a company that offers either DVD movies/video game rentals or purchase on the Internet with access to over 28,000 games and movie titles.

As of late there has been some decent PR happening like the Olympic commercials and the confirmation of the super bowl commercial. Today they announced the free DVD player offer for those who sign on for a 4-month subscription. Those people also have a chance to win a spot in the GZFX super bowl commercial. I think this is a good move to entice customers who are on the fence or haven't tried online DVD renting to go with GZFX versus other sites. I'm not necessarily saying any of this information should cause the PPS to go up but I think it's odd for it to continue to go down.
btw, you mean yesterday...not today.

That said, yes we are going down before going up. Hopefully this is the bottom. Dilution is the problem right now but we have to finance to continue making it until the day we finally break free. Hopefully thats soon. People who don't understand that need to leave the penny world. That said with a .18 high and a 50% dilution that puts us at .12 average with all the dilutions.
All who believe in this company though will profit from it for being long. I truly believe that. I think the management is trying real hard to make this company go. With the market and the business we are in we will have ups anmd downs until we become a household name. The only way to become a household name is Aggressively advertise and promotions that will cost in the short term but will benefit us in the long.
Ric
All this week has been nothing but great news. Even the dilution to get the finances to advertise our great company.

Meaning 2 free months of service and two paid. Its better then one month free service and don't continue and recieve nothing for your time.Ric

Thinking of picking some more up at these levels... just not sure where it's going to bottom.
QBID high .027 now .0052
ONEV high .22 now .10
TFCT high .18 now .04
MLON down to .0012 so on and so on
Not saying we don't share in the blame with the needed finances but thats part of doing business when working with a startup company. I think that this is a good buying time frame with it being boring until after elections and by the first of the year we all will be glad we bought pennies at these prices.

Thanks Ric - New to pennies, been playing the big boards for many years.
I really think that this company will begin to ascend, it has too much going for it. The Brass are really attempting to make it succeed without the large capital of NetFlix and Blockbuster.

Yea, I'm hoping for an end of the year rally. I should have sold with profit along time ago. Now I'm forced to wait & twitle my thumbs until this goes back up.
This does look good though. I'm hoping we are seeing a turning point. The key here is good customer service with a steady advertising campaign.

$4.00 * 600,000,000 shares = $2.4 billion?? Like a lot of you I bought at about these levels originally, watched it go to .18, thinking "this is small potatoes it will see .50 for sure" and now here we are. Many probably bought much higher than this, and I would have commended you for it! (I feel horrible for telling one guy personally to buy at .12).
Still, I keep my eye on this company and have been tempted to buy back in several times, only to see it go even lower. I was a subscriber but canceled my subscription because of the horrible turnaround times. The website is slowly improving, and hopefully the service is too.
Pennies are a bitch.
cory, i was reading on runnin bull they said level 2 showed uptick to .033, dont know if it is true should find out in a few min. From Yahoo Message Board
GZFX is about to rally!!!!!! - GZFX is about to rally on no news (yet)! Still a STRONG BUY !Planning new distribution centers before end of the year,made a call with one employee of GZFX,he said there will be a pr this week about premilary numbers of new subscribers,i could hear at the way he talked that is will have to be a lot !!PR today or friday(this week) I monitor the Alexia data on a daily basis and it hasn't been at this level since mid-August......and I've never seen the numhber of page views per user higher than 15. 22 is BIG!!!!! Should have good website hit data whenever they announce this info. They have also updated the new releases on their website for movies and games. They also charge my CC for Sept and I am getting movies. Whether or not they can survive the storm will be seen.....but it looks like they finally are getting their stuff together. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=3m&size=large&url=gamez many subs=lot's off cash=money to improve service=pay for SuperB

Hope this isn't a simple impulse spike. In any event I bought more today. Plans are to hold most of my position with some profit taking May of next year.

Yep! Truth of the matter is I will be more than pleased just to see this play out like XMSR/SIRI. Even if we remain second best in share price we will be wondering why we didn't mortgage the house for this one at .03. My only mistake with SIRI was that I didn't hold a core position. I won't make that mistake here.

Using that number though shows a fair increase since June. Junes financials showed subs at 4000 so thats a little more then a 200% increase in a little over 2 month. Sounds promising. Thats $200,000 a month. Well, I will try to confirm these numbers myself.

Today is the day that it went live.
The service, price and products are not better but from what I understand they are gaining momentum.
Actually they are using network marketing for the promotion of the entire business versus just an affiliate program.
Has anyone already discussed how the marketing plan for MyMovieBiz might affect this stock? Do you think it will have any affect at all?
All GZFX is doing is if you put there banner on your web site and someone joins from your link you make money. You do nothing other then putting the link on your web site. Mymoviebiz is you have to do something, watch movies to make any money but it goes further (pyramid scheme), you need to talk otheres into doing this to and make money from ever movie they watch and so on. Sounds like a scam to me.

Our greatest strength right now is the fact that we offer both movies and games in one package, no other service offers this. So now all we have to do is grow and with growth the other things will come around. If we have alot of subscriptions then we can afford more distribution centers which is all we really need to be the best.

Is there a way to tell if the 100 million shares have been sold of or not? Trying to figure out if they are still pushing out the 100 million shares or not.

Links will be on one of my sites as of Monday at http://www.dealofday.com. We will be promoting the program heavily.This is a buy signal for me.

Last year there was a car commercial I think for Mitsubishi or something and it showed it about to get in an accident and gave a website to go to to see the rest. Well, immediately after seeing it I tried to go to the site but it had encountered bandwidth problems because of the large number of people trying to view it. So, hopefully we don't run into any of these issues.
Things are looking good and I am still holding strong in this stock, I think it is a great price, and the quality of service seems to be coming along nicely.

I am currently sitting on 49K shares. If this PPS stays in the .03 range for another week, I plan to scrape the funds together to increase my holding to 100K.
I really like this company. The fact that they have an actual product/service that is functional and improving. They are actively advertising through their Television Commercials and now their affiliate program. This proves to me that this is a penny stock that aims to succeed. This is one of these stocks who's goal is to not take up permanant residence in Penny land. The movement certainly hasn't went up like I had originally thought/hoped but I still believe that we will cross that $1-$2 range sometime next year. In the same breath, I never expected it to dip to the high .02 range either.
I have faith, spending money to make money certainly is more than a cliche.
Go GZFX, I am a shareholder and a Happy Customer.

I didn't say a word at first cause I was so mad I didn't trust myself to speak. I knew brought them back the very next morning. My baby told them they might want to consider how long we've been customers (14 years) & very plesantly she explained that we might be done with them. The guy gave me a break but it doesn't make any difference. To even have to ask the guy to not charge us was enough & they've lost me. Somehow I can't be OK with them trying to milk me.
I'm invested in GZFX & very soon will be a subscriber. I can deal with not getting what I want DVD wize the minute I order it & besides. From what I'm reading the service is improving daily. Furthermore as an investor it's time I support my company! I mean what the hell I've been steadily accumulating this stock & will buy more Monday.
Anyone feels like posting this on the block buster board feel free.

You should have just asked us. I could have told you a long time ago that Gameznflix doesn't carry "Foot Fetish" "Forrest Hump" or "Dancing Daddies."

I have 85 subs over 3 weeks. Here are the stats:
Of the people that hit my site, 41% click on the GZFX ad.
Of the visitors that hit the GXFZ site from my site, 8.7% convert to a sub.
Of the people that visit my site, 4.5% convert into a signup.
This is considering I've received about 300 hits from penny stock investor boards where people, including myself, have posted my URL.
Honestly, I was worried about this company until I started promoting their offer. I've done internet marketing for 7 years and this offers pulls like the debt consolidation offers used to back in the old days. To receive that kind of a positive response is quite rare.
During the great depression there were two things people still bought consistently: Lipstick and Movie Tickets.

My question and answer to Gameznflix
Subject: RE: affiliate program
Being that Netflix is your biggest competitor ,is much more known, and
teaming up with other companies, can you tell me if your company is only
going too grow bigger from this point on??????????

Jim,
The only path we are focused on is growth! A company is either progressing
or standing still and if they are standing still....that means the ground
beneath their feet will eventually erode.
We are in an excellent position...the competitors can educate the market
with their more robust budgets, which allows us to increase market share for
our product while not having to educate.

GameZnFlix Rental Review - Read this 1st!
Home - GameZnFlix - GameZnFlix vs NetFlix - GameSnFlix Experience - GameAndFlix Spelling - GameZnFlix Affiliate Program
GameZnFlix vs NetFlix Review Rental Website - www.RossJones.com/GameZnFlix/
Here's how Games and Flicks compares with Netflixx.
Netflix is the big brand name in online DVD rentals. There's a few others that have triecd to knock them off like Quikflix, DVD Avenue & Cleanfilms. While they've all some decent offerings, none has really taken off like NetFlix. vs. GameZnFlix, Netflix is still the big dog. But GameZnFlixx seems ready to take them on in earnest.
The biggest difference is in the name. Not just flicks but "Games and Flicks." MetFlix only offers movie rentals while gamesNFlix offers thousands of video games for rent online. So mom & dad can get a dvd or 2 while the kids get in the latest shootem up game for Super-Duper Turbo Nintendo. Everybody's happy.
If you've got a gamer in the house, the choice for gamesznflix is easy. For a single monthly subscription fee, you get both DVD's & game rentals. No double dipping with paying for both Netflix & Gamefly at the same time. Score 1 for Gamesanflix. But what if you're only interested in DVD rentals? Is the choice clear?
What about just DVD rentals?
If nobody cares about video game rentals, then you're gonna base your decsion on just DVD rentals. The selections and GamezNFlicks and netflicks are about the same. They've both got tons of movie titles available. Both have quick shipping, usually the DVD rental ships in about 2 days. Both have free trials. Both charge no late fees & have free shipping. So what's the deciding factor?
Price? A month of DVD rentals at Gamezflix is $18.50. That's 3 and a half bucks cheaper than nettflixx. Score another 1 for GamesanFlix.
Try it & Buy it. GamesandFlix also sells their games and flicks so if you get a DVD rental that you really like, you can just buy it. Kinda like a test drive so you only get stuff that you enjoy. Score 3 for GamezanFlix.
The Bottom Line: Should you Signup for GamZnFlix?
In a word, yes. With lower prices, good customer service and a good selection, it made sense to start using GameZnFlix. Even though their free trial said it only lasts 2 weeks, I didn't get billed for well over a month. That was plenty of time for me to decide for myself. If you've tried the free dvd rental trial over at Netflix, give GameZnFlixx a try.

You do know my main defense was on this one. I agree alot with what you said the other way. Just think we are going places here as soon as a few more bugs are worked out.

UPDATE 2-Netflix cuts DVD rental price as profit soars
Thu Oct 14, 2004 05:54 PM ET
(Adds lower-priced monthly plan)
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14 (Reuters) - Online DVD rental company Netflix Inc. (NFLX.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Thursday cut its subscription price by 18 percent in the face of rising competition and posted a more than four-fold rise in third-quarter earnings.
Los Gatos, California-Netflix cut the fee for unlimited monthly DVD rentals to $17.99 from $21.99, beginning in November.
Netflix established the market for no-late-fees, mail-to-home DVD rentals but faces emerging competition from big companies like Blockbuster and Wal-Mart.
Netflix shares have lost about 56 percent of their value since late January, when they topped $39 as short sellers have bet against the stock.
Netflix said third-quarter earnings rose sharply on rapid subscriber growth and lower costs, but noted that it expects increasing competition in the coming year.
The Los Gatos, California company reported net income of $18.9 million, or 29 cents per share, in the quarter, compared with $3.3 million, or 5 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
The average earnings estimate of analysts polled by Reuters Estimates had been 32 cents per share.
The company attributed the gain in part to lower-than-expected shipping costs after subscribers in the quarter rented fewer movies than expected.
Netflix last week said third-quarter net profit would surpass its previous forecasts of $6.7 million to $10.2 million.
The company's cost to acquire new trial subscribers rose in the third quarter to $36.97 each, compared with $31.81 for the third quarter of 2003.
Subscriber "churn," a closely watched measure of turnover in the company's subscriber base, rose to 5.6 percent for the third quarter compared with 5.2 percent a year earlier.
Netflix tops profit, but shares take hit after hours
By Bambi Francisco, CBS.MarketWatch.com
DVD rental firm tops estimates but offered no outlook
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Netflix tumbled 37 percent after hours following its earnings report for the third quarter, in which it said revenue nearly doubled but then announced that it's cutting prices and expects that it will break even next year.
The DVD rental firm's (NFLX) stock ended the regular session up 8 cents at $17.43, but was down $6.43 to $11 after the bell.

What kind of impact do you think this will have on gzfx pps? I can't imagine it will affect it all that much. Personally, I did not buy GZFX because it was offering a similar service to netflix at 3 dollars cheaper. Although this was somewhat of a selling point, the main reason was the video game and movie combination. I also like the fact that one can purchase movies through the site. The biggest problem I see is that wal-mart, block buster, and now Amazon are all in the market. This may lead to some problems. However, it seems we (GZFX) are the unique ones of this group as we offer both gamez and flix!!!!!

I saw where GZFX was up to .17 a few months ago and thought it might go back up there and .035 was a deal so I bought some. Reading this thread made me consider buying alot more, about what you have, 100k or better(possibly alot more). Not after having their service would I buy more. Do you even have their service? Short term, they might go up some but I wouldn't hold it long term.
As far as the insults, they are uncalled for. You don't talk to people like that in person, I hope. I know you wouldn't say it to me if we were within normal speaking range, maybe once. I'm getting f'd and I'm the bad guy?

I noticed the shipping was costing them .60 each way. I figured I'd get 3 movies a week, that would cost them $14.40 a month on a $18.50 sub. I started wondering how the heck they would make any money at that rate. I noticed NFLX had more profit this quarter because, reportedly, subs were increasing but people were getting the movies less frequently. That saves them big $$ in shipping. So it seemed like a good deal, they got a CEO formally from AdSouth and I figured that would help alot. Good media and cheapest mail-order movie rentals, lots of potential. I thought about buying 100k shares and maybe even as many as 1mil(it crossed my mind) because surely something this good will go to $1ps. Well, NFLX is cheaper now and with the new technology, just around the corner, I've changed my mind. NFLX has been out awhile and Circuit City was pushing them years ago and they really had no competition. So they could afford the time it took to smooth things out. I don't think NFLX will be around too much longer as technology advances.
I'll tell you alittle something about me. I grew up in the family movie rental business, we had 3 at one time. Big commercial business, like Blockbuster, hurt our business (so we sold them). I think Netflicks and pay-per-view took a chunk of their business and the new technology will come to pass and there will be no need to get movies elsewhere as people can have them streaming into their homes. It may take awhile to perfect and catch on, so there is time to make money for now, imo. It took awhile for VHS to catch on then everyone had them. Few years ago DVDs came out and only those that could afford a $400+ player had them(I bought one for my girlfriend for X-Mas) and now everyone has them, they can be had for $25. Time moves on, don't fight it, seek the oppurtunities in it.
Here are my picks. I recently bought some INTC, its near its low and had some bad luck but it will go back up. I bought some GNLB on their bad news and am just waiting for it to go back up. Waiting for SIRI to come back down alittle, big future for Satelitte radio.
Anyhow, I just thought I'd try to help some fellow stockholders. I didn't figure I needed to fill out the profile as I doubt I'll post much on here. I will read it and get some ideas, then do the DD.
This is all just my opinion. I realize you have been holding alot of this stock for quite some time and apparently have become attached to it. Hold it, I'm sure it will go up some, hopefully. Just know when to get out or just disregard my input altogether.
Good luck
Online pitfalls:
1) Movie industry is scared of it because of copy issues Sort of like whats going on with the MP3s being file shared.
2)Download speeds. People with modems might as well not even thnk about it. But even with cable (Mine a 3gig) it still takes a while to download not that it would bother people to wait 2 hours but still not fast.
3) storage space. How many movies can you download till your hard drive is full. Not many.
4) Quality - with the new computer that was mentioned on the web site it might not be bad but still computers get bogge down, lock up and crash.
5) Do you want to watch a movie on your computer. You will need to buy a card to hook to your TV at minimum (extra expense) then you will have to either have your computer near your TV or long cords, so on.
I can't remember all the downfall. They listed more but that was some of the main pitfalls right now. Not that technology won't catch up later but people are slow to change too. I know people with VCR's only still.
Well, I think we have a little time before we have to worry about that myself. Hopefully I am rich before then, lol.

I'm not so sure about that. If a person pays their 4 months up front they ought to get that DVD player with their first set of movies. Furthermore if I'm Gameznflix I want to send it out as soon as possible. Then if someone says they want to cancel they loose their deposit.
Aside from all that I continue to accumulate at these levels because I believe this company is here for the long haul. I might take some profits at .50 but as usual with a penny investment I will hold a nice size core position.

Well, I'm sure about it. The email they sent me said I'd get a dvd player at the end of the four months. Actually I'll post the email here:
"WELCOME *******,
Thank you for signing up for your membership to GameznFlix, where you can
enjoy more movies, more games, and more fun. Upon validation of your credit
card your rental's will begin shipping to you.
You have been registered to win a chance to appear in our upcoming Super Bowl
TV ad. And, at the end of your four-month subscription, we will be mailing
you a FREE DVD player.
Thank you,
GameznFlix
support@gameznflix.com"
I thought it would make more sense giving the dvd player away after the cc was confirmed and billed too. It might get people who didn't already have a player the chance to get one and would help get subs. If you don't have a player then why would you need a sub? If they gave you one then it might motivate you to get the sub. It might also generate business from people that couldn't afford a dvd player, kill two birds with one stone. Great gift idea. Oh Well. Good Luck.

Have you ever heard of cancelling a payment on your visa card? Happens all the time. That is why you will not get your dvd until the four months have passed. If they sent the dvd right away people would cancel as soon as the dvd arrived.

FRANKLIN, Ky., Oct 18, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX), an online provider of video games and DVD movies, today confirms its competitive advantage over other online DVD rental companies. With the recent NetFlix offering of a lower monthly subscription price for a limited number of DVD's, GameZnFlix wishes to point out that it remains a leader in cost effective home entertainment by offering unlimited rentals of video games and DVD movies rentals for $18.50 a month with opportunity for its members to purchase video games and DVD movies at a membership discounted prices.
"The basic plan, which is only one of our five membership plans, allows subscribers to have up to 3 DVD's and/or video games in their procession at anytime. So, ultimately, it is possible for a GameZnFlix subscriber to watch a new movie every day of the week," stated Gary Hohman, President.
Mr. Hohman also stated, "The online rental market is becoming more competitive, which is actually an advantage for our small company. Companies such as Blockbuster, NetFlix & Wal-Mart are introducing online rental service to the consumers with their larger marketing budgets. We have the advantage of lower overhead and streamlined systems, which don't necessitate the sorts of revenues they require for us to achieve profitability. This is a large market which, we believe, hasn't grown to its full potential; there is, therefore, room for several competitors."
Michael Reader, VP of Sales & Marketing stated: "With over 28,000 titles, which include video games and our competitive offerings, I am confident that our company will continue to grow and carve out our niche in this competitive market. Once the bigger players educate the market place, we are confident that consumers will be focus more on price and thus look to our company."
GameZnFlix is a company that offers video games/DVD movies rentals or purchase on the Internet with access to over about 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $18.50 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both video games and/or DVD movies with no late fees or due dates or members can purchase video games and/or DVD movie titles at a membership discount.

I had been re-subscribed for about three weeks and have only received 5 DVDs due to slow mailings, and confusion with my account/credit card. Apparently the increase in customers has effected the customer service department; a main reason why I recommended this site in the first place. I have canceled my subscription (not sure if my credit card will refunded), only this time for poor customer relations.
Update 3/9/03: So far I have been charged for a months subscription and I continue to get DVDs in the mail. This is great if I wanted to be a NetFlix user, the only problem is, is I canceled my account over three weeks ago and no longer desire to be a NetFlix user. NetFlix states that you can cancel at anytime, however this has not been the case. I'm down-rating my review to 1 star. I don't know what happened with this site, but I had originally rated this service at almost 4 stars due to the relatively good experience I had with this site, and was recommended. I have been told that I will be fully refunded by NetFlix, even for the three weeks that I continued to get DVDs (if this is the case I will up-rate back to 2 stars). So far I have not received a refund and continue to get DVDs in the mail; kinda reminds me of my subscription with Car And Driver magazine.
---------------------------------------------
Netflix is not all bad. They have an extensive inventory of DVDs, carrying many titles that you will not find at your local video stores: for example, the mini-series “I Claudius,” which was the reason I signed up with Netflix in the first place.
Ummm......I was going to list all the good things about Netflix, but I am afraid that the last thing I mentioned was the only good thing I can think of.
Cost.
I signed up for the $19.95 plan, which means the I have three DVDs signed out to me. I am charged $21.25, because for some unknown reason Netflix collects sales tax, although they have no presence in the state of Florida. My DVDs come from Duluth, Georgia. On average, each DVD cost me $2.00 to rent, plus a trip to the Post Office when I return them.
I can rent DVDs locally for about $3.50 at Blockbuster or Hollywood Video and $1.00 at Albertson’s. I can keep these DVDs for three to five days (one day for new releases at Albertson’s), whereas, I usually return Netflix DVDs the next day because of the mail delay factor. I am able to do this marathon video viewing because I am retired. Chances are that Netflix DVDs might cost others somewhat more than $2.00 each if they have other demands on their time.
---------------------------------------------
4. No driving. No lines. No hassles Well, you won’t have to deal with lines, but you might have to wait for some titles to arrive, even if they are showing as ‘available’ at the site. As far as no hassles, that is hit or miss when you are dealing with some customer service people…
5. Always have up to 3 DVD’s at home This is something that they really need to clarify since they offer different membership levels and different prices. Just because you have the ability to have three DVD’s out at a time doesn’t mean that you will always have the chance to get them off your list and into your hands.
6. No commitments. Cancel anytime. You have the option to cancel whenever you want but you won’t be given any type of a prorated refund if you cancel in the middle of the month. Any DVD’s that are still out when you cancel your membership need to be returned ASAP to avoid having your credit card charged for them. Read the internet long enough and you’ll get the chance to read the horror stories of double billings and being billed after you cancel
---------------------------------------------
Why I hated Netflix: Lousy availability of new movies; terrible turn-around time; bonus disks are considered a full rental and are not shipped with the movies (how weird is that! Why should a two-disk set count as two? It’s one movie for goodness sake!); and most importantly you're LOCKED INTO a monthly fee whether or not you use the service. So--stop reading right here and check out a better option! RentDVDHere or, if you don't want to be locked into monthly fees see the very bottom of this review for several online (download or stream) video choices. IF you really want to know more about Neflix keep reading...but I warned you!
---------------------------------------------
This service fails to meet THIS consumer's needs on one weakness alone, delivery. When I signed on to this service 3 months ago, it seemed the perfect solution for a person of limited resources, and passion for movies. I long ago decided that there were few movies that would draw me to the theater. I spend a lot of time viewing, and analyzing movies for reviews posted on Epinions, (over 300) and of the ones I have seen, I own more than 150. A light bulb came on in my head (and lit up the room) when I realized that of those 150 DVDs, only about 50 were going to be worth KEEPING. DVD's rarely sell for less than $20 , not including shipping, although there are sales (and the best ones are found on the Net) . When you add $3.00 per DVD for shipping, the average price is between 20 and 30 dollars per DVD. Online stores such as Amazon.com, and Reel.com, and in former days Bigstar.com usually got them to me about the same time they would hit BLOCKBUSTERS. But with a fail rate of 60% it left me with a lot of waste, and a surfeit of movies I won't need to watch again. It doesn't take long for this to add up to a lot of dollars wasted.
---------------------------------------------
I had signed up for Netflix's free trial offer via some website's ad banner. Reason why I did this - I had some free time coming up, plus I had heard about netflix and giving it a try did not seem all that bad. That's what trials are for. If I don't like it, I won't pay for it.
So I went ahead and signed up (Nov 18th 2001). Requested 3 Movies. I got an email on 19th that they have shipped the DVDs. I received them in my mailbox on Nov 24th. 5 Days for a first class mail! I watched all the movies and dropped them in the mailbox on Nov 26th. I got conformation emails from them that they have received 2 movies on 12/1. Again 5 Days and 1 movie short! I was a bit worried. I had no proof that I have sent the movies. Finally I got a confirm on 12/4 for the third one. After 8 Days.
I was not happy with the service. I decided to cancel and when I called talked to customer service, I was told I had plenty of time left in my membership and should give it one more try. So I requested 3 more movies. I was done returning them by 12/13. Because of the time it takes in shipping, I did not like the service and decided to cancel it. I did that by calling the customer service. I thought that was the end of it.
I saw a charge of $21 on my credit card for 12/3. I was surprised since my understanding was that the free trial is for a month. I decided to call the customer service for credit. Trying to find the toll free number for customer service on their website is almost impossible. It is like a deep dark secret. Finally after searching on the web, I found some guy who had posted that number (He too had a horrible experience with Netflix). BTW it is (888-638-3549).
I called and the rep told me that the trial was for 2 weeks only! Unless I can show proof (!) that my trial was for a month, I will not be credited for the fee.
I don't remember anywhere seeing 2 Weeks for the trial when I signed up. I confess my mistake for assuming it was for a month. It is their mistake for not making it clear when I signed up.
I had to just put up with the charge. It certainly seems like the company is following some shady tactics of delaying shipments / acknowledging returns in order to control the number of DVDs you watch and also not be upfront in providing accurate free trial info. It has left me with a very bad experience.

THESE ARE SOME REVIEWS OF NETFLIX.COM. OBVIOUSLY I ONLY PUT THE BAD REVIEWS, YES THERE ARE GOOD ONES TOO, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THE LAST ONE I HAVE IS FROM 2001. THIS IS WHEN THE COMPANY WAS STILL YOUNG, BUT NOT BRAND NEW. LOOK, THEY HAD OBVIOUS PROBLEMS, AND MANY OF THESE POSTS ARE FROM WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS OR EVEN THE LAST YEAR. THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT NO WEBSITE WILL BE PERFECT. EVEN NETFLIX, THE LEADER OF THIS MARKET HAS ITS PROBLEMS - AND REALLY HAD SOME WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. WE TOO AT GAMEZNFLIX WILL EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE SAME THINGS, YOU CAN NOT NOT EXPECT TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS, ANY NEW COMPANY HAS THEM, AND SO WILL WE. JUST KEEP THE FAITH, NETFLIX USED TO BE SLOW AND TERRIBLY ORGANIZED (I WOULD KNOW-BEEN A MEMBER FOR MANY YEARS NOW), ONE DAY WE WILL BE TAKING CUSTOMERS FROM NETFLIX!!!!!

Good luck with your stock. I am still holding 3950 shares, maybe it will turn around.
With the affiliate program going along with aggressive marketing I believe sub numbers will start to climb. A Super Bowl comercial won't hurt either.
A year or two from now I "might" begin selling my core position when we're comfortably over $2!

Good to hear. Don't worry, the service will improve. I have been in Netflix since damn near the beginning, and it used to take forever to get movies. Also, remember that if you try and rent a new release you will not necessarily get it because other people will have had it first. The way we do it with Netflix is add all the new released, then send our current three movies in just in time to get the new releases. In other words, if you are not one of the first to get them, on the Tuesday that they come out, you will have to wait even longer.
Just compare it to a normal rental store. If you go in the day a new movie is released, and that movie is sold out, you will have to wait until one is returned and it will generally not be that day.
With the online services, lets say that somebody is shipped a movie (new release) on tuesday so they will receive it wednesday or thursday, or even friday. Then if they watch it friday and put it in the mail say saturday, it will take a few days to ship back to the company. Then the company will process it and send it out to you. So you can see where these things take a lot of time. This still happens to us with Netflix, if we are not the first ones to get it, there is somewhat of a wait.
The main problem is that there are not enough distribution centers yet. This was the same with Netflix when they first opened, they only had one distribution center in California so it took forever. Now that they have them all over, it does not take nearly as long. As soon as more distribution centers are build and they continually add onto their stock of movies, the service will improve greatly.
Just hang in there, things will be 100% better in just a few months.

My response from John Flemming below:
Michael,
Thanks for you email. First, what insider trading? Mr. Sawaqed registered 5 million shares to pay for his heart surgery and in fact still has approximately 1.2 million of the 5 mil left. Other than that what insider trading are you writing about?
We, BOD and management, cannot affect the price of the stock. We are running the company and making improvements on a daily basis. These efforts will result in the company moving forward with its business plan and this will be reported in our " Q's and K" to the SEC and the public.
We will continue to issue PRs which are historical in nature and will not release PRs which are not historical in nature. That has been the company policy since day one and it will not change.
I am pleased to say that the company is moving forward at good pace and that we gain a bit of the market share on a daily basis. This is a small start up company, much like NetFlix was in 1999, and our progress maybe slow, however it is steady.
We, the company, will crawl, then stand, then walk and then and only maybe run. It is better to go slow than to rush and end up in a collision.
Warmly,
John Fleming
CEO/Chairman

All the above is just my very humble oppinion. Do not buy or sell on anything I say.

if we have 20,000 customers now, X 1.3= 26000, x 1.3=33800,
X 1.3=43940, X 1.3=57122x 1.3=74258, X1.3=96536...X15$ / mo=$1,448,042/mo X 12= $17,376,512 = Revenue. =17.376mil$/600mil= .028/share (average 20%-40% customer growth)
Now I we execute this puppy correctly we can get 20-40% of where nflx is. The J curve. nflx has 2mil customers. We can have near 40% of 2 mil= 600,000 customers X 15$/ mo=
%9,000,000/mo X 12 = $108,000,000revenue/yr.
Walmart and bbi won't do as well as us and nflx may not be around for ever, who knows. This COULD happen. IMO.
108mil$/600shares=$.18/share revenue. Maybe a share buy back. AMEX.
How much of that is profit???? If we can get a dime or more?
With the second senerio and that rate of revenue growth, GZFX will fly like nflx did.
What will happen the following 12 months. 3$ somewhere in here is not too much to expect.

I agree Ric, but I have yet to see any Gameznflix commercials and I see a netflix one everyday. I am not trying to smear this stock at all, I do own shares, have since .17, OUCH! When might we see it in that range again? or will we?

Quarterly Report
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Overview.
The Registrant, through its website www.gameznflix.com is an online console video game and DVD movie rental business dedicated to providing customers a quality rental experience. The Registrant offers customers a reliable, web-based, high-quality alternative to traditional store-based gaming rentals on a national scale. The Registrant's service is an alternative to store-based gaming rentals that offer a high level of customer service, quality titles, and superior product availability.
In March 2004, the Registrant launched its website, http://www.gameznflix.com, and began operating in the online DVD and video game rental industry. In conjunction with the website launch, the company also launched a national television ad campaign designed to create awareness among the company's target consumers and to generate traffic to the website. In June 2004, the Registrant launched the second phase of the television ad campaign, and launched its redesigned website on its new IBM server. This second phase is more narrowly designed to attract the core consumer to the products of the Registrant and smooth out the initial operations of the company. During the 3rd quarter of 2004, the Registrant continued to refine and develop its website and established its distribution channels by outsourcing the fulfillment to National Fulfillment, Inc., which provides shipping from Los Angeles, California and Lebanon, Tennessee.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to focus its attentions and investment of resources in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its client base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its client base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and the ability to continue to operate the business.
Results of Operations.
(a) Revenues.
The Registrant reported $157,386 in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $121,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $36,116 or approximately 30%. The Registrant reported revenues of $99,683 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $42,540 for the three-months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $57,143 or approximately 133%. These increases in revenues were due to the change in business focus from consulting services to DVD and video game rentals. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Registrant primarily spent its efforts on redesigning its website and developing its marketing campaign which in effect resulted in an overall decrease in gross income as compared to the prior periods.
(b) Advertising.
Advertising expenses were $402,907 and $2,077,609 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2004 compared to zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Advertising expenses increased as result of the marketing campaign through television advertising and is anticipated to continue at similar levels for the next three to six months and reduce to approximately 50% of current levels.
(c) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $719,554 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $88,026 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $631,528 or approximately 720%. These expenses were $223,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $81,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $141,957 or approximately 174%. These increases in these expenses are primarily due to salaries and website development costs. The Registrant believes selling, general and administrative expenses will continue at such levels due to anticipated growth in the next six to twelve months.
The numbers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were changed from $42,788 and $49,061, respectively, as reported in the September 30, 2003 Form 10-QSB due to a reclassification of compensation ($38,965) to selling, general and administrative expenses.
(d) Consulting Fees.
Consulting fees was $4,893,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $92,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4,800,427 or approximately 5,180%. These expenses were $2,511,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $2,486,727 or approximately 9,950%. These increases in consulting fees are due primarily to hiring of business consultants to develop the Registrant's business model for the launching of the DVD movie and video game on-line rental service. The Registrant believes that such expenses will continue for the next three months since, as of September 30, 2004, prepaid consulting expenses approximating $1,175,000 will be expensed within the next three months.
(e) Professional Fees.
Professional fees were $233,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $13,771 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $219,815 or approximately 1,590%. Professional fees were $74,414 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $12,286 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $62,128 or approximately 505%. These increases are primarily due to the retaining of attorneys and accountants for purpose of beginning operations of the DVD and video game rental online service and complying with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations relating to review and reporting requirements.
(f) Net Loss.
The Registrant reported a net loss of $7,945,385 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a compared to a net profit of $217,000 (which was due primarily to the forgiveness of debt by shareholders) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, a change of $8,162,385. The Registrant reported a net loss of $3,223,792 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a net loss $76,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $3,147,792 or approximately 4,140%. These changes were due to the factors described above. The Registrant believes that such losses will continue for at least the next six to twelve months as it continues the marketing campaign and brand recognition of "GameZnFlix" to the general public and targeted consumers.
Factors That May Affect Operating Results.
The operating results of the Registrant can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside its control. General factors that may affect the Registrant's operating results include:
- market acceptance of and changes in demand for services;
- a small number of customers account for, and may in future periods account for, substantial portions of the Registrant's revenue, and revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers;
- gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
- announcement or introduction of new services by the Registrant or by its competitors;
- price competition;
- the ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
- the ability to introduce and market services in accordance with market demand;
- changes in governmental regulation; and
- reduction in or delay of capital spending by clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to invest in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its customer base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its customer base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and its ability to continue to operate its business.
The Registrant is also subject to the following specific factors that may affect its operating results:
(a) Competition.
The market for on-line rental of DVD's and games is competitive and the Registrant expects competition to continue to increase. In addition, the companies with whom the Registrant has relationships could develop services that compete with the Registrant's services. Also, some competitors in the Registrant's market have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and greater brand recognition than the Registrant does. The Registrant also expects to face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the market for on-line rentals. To be competitive, the Registrant believes that it must, among other things, invest resources in developing new services, improving its current services, and maintaining customer satisfaction. Such investment will increase the Registrant's expenses and affect its profitability. In addition, if it fails to make this investment, the Registrant may not be able to compete successfully with its competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on its revenue and future profitability.
(b) Technological and Market Changes.
The markets in which the Registrant competes are characterized by new service introductions, evolving industry standards, and changing needs of customers. There can be no assurance that the Registrant's existing services will continue to be properly positioned in the market or that it will be able to introduce new or enhanced products into the market on a timely basis, or at all. Currently, the Registrant is focusing on upgrading and introducing new services. There can be no assurance that enhancements to existing products or new products will receive customer acceptance.
There is a risk to the Registrant that there may be delays in initial implementation of new services. Further risks inherent in new service introductions include the uncertainty of price-performance relative to services of competitors, competitors' responses to its new service introductions, and the desire by customers to evaluate new services for longer periods of time.
(c) Key Personnel.
The Registrant's success is largely dependent on the personal efforts and abilities of its senior management. The loss of certain members of the Registrant's senior management, including the company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief technical officer, could have a material adverse effect on the company's business and prospects.
The Registrant intends to recruit in fiscal year 2004 employees who are skilled in its industry. The failure to recruit these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's business. As a result, the Registrant may experience increased compensation costs that may not be offset through either improved productivity or higher revenue. There can be no assurances that the Registrant will be successful in retaining existing personnel or in attracting and recruiting experienced qualified personnel.
Operating Activities.
The net cash used by operating activities was $2,068,793 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $95,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (changed from $(14,556) as reported in the September 30, 2003 Form 10-QSB due to a reclassification of increase in notes payable ($81,410) to financing activities), an increase of $1,972,827 or approximately 2,055%. A significant portion of cash used was attributed to marketing and professional expenses related to developing, launching and marketing the on-line rental of DVD's and games.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of September 30, 2004, the Registrant had total current assets of $1,776,764 and total current liabilities of $1,273,269, resulting in a working capital surplus of $503,495.
The Registrant has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations for the last two years; however the company has been successful in obtaining cash resources through private placements and the exercise of options. Financing activities provided cash of $2,471,271 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $81,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $2,389,861 or approximately 2,930%. Financing activities for 2004:
(a) The Registrant commenced a private placement on November 29, 2003 and sold 16,837,646 shares of common stock from that date to September 1, 2004 to 87 investors (66 of which are accredited) for a total consideration of approximately $606,835.
(b) The Registrant commenced a private placement on September 24, 2004 and sold 384,615 shares of common stock from that date to September 30, 2004 to 1 investor (who was accredited) for a total consideration of approximately $5,000.
(c) In addition, from February 18, 2004 to August 31, 2004, options covering approximately 67,042,000 shares of common stock were exercised (average of $0.041 per share) into free trading stock under the Registrant's Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in proceeds to the company of approximately $2,764,000.
The Registrant's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity or debt financing. The Registrant estimates that it will need to raise up to $10,000,000 over the next twelve months for such purposes. However, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to the Registrant. The ability of the Registrant to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Registrant's business plan. The Registrant's independent accountants audit reports included in the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 includes a substantial doubt paragraph regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Registrant may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of its planned product development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition, which could require the company to:
- curtail operations significantly;
- sell significant assets;
- seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the company to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or
- explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of the company.
To the extent that the Registrant raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Registrant's operations. Regardless of whether the Registrant's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the company's operational needs, the Registrant may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which will also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Inflation.
The impact of inflation on the costs of the Registrant, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Registrant is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Registrant's operations over the past quarter, and the company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.
Other.
The Registrant does not provide post-retirement or post- employment benefits requiring charges under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and No. 112.
Critical Accounting Policies.
The SEC has issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" ("FRR 60"), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Registrant's most critical accounting policies include: (a) use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements; (b) non-cash compensation valuation; (c) revenue recognition; and (d) impairment of long-lived assets. The methods, estimates and judgments the Registrant uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Registrant reports in its financial statements.
(a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Registrant to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Registrant evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. The Registrant bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
(b) Non-Cash Compensation Valuation.
The Registrant intends to issue shares of common stock to various individuals and entities for management, legal, consulting and marketing services. These issuances will be valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of shares issued is determined, based upon the open market closing price of common stock as of the date of each respective transaction. These transactions will be reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Registrant's statement of operations.
(c) Revenue Recognition.
Revenue from proprietary software sales that does not require further commitment from the Registrant is recognized upon shipment. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. License revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license. Video game subscription revenues are recognized when billed. Customers are required to authorize a monthly automatic charge to a major credit card. Because of this, the billing and receipt of revenue occur simultaneously. Subscribers pay on a monthly basis and may cancel service at anytime. The cost of services, consisting of staff payroll, outside services, equipment rental, communication costs and supplies, is expensed as incurred.
(d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Registrant reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Registrant would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles.
Forward Looking Statements.
The foregoing management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "forecast," "project," and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. These are statements that relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements as to the Registrant's estimates as to the adequacy of its capital resources, its need and ability to obtain additional financing, the features and benefits of its services, its growth strategy, the need for additional sales and support staff, its operating losses and negative cash flow, its critical accounting policies, and factors contributing to its future growth. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed above, as well as risks related to the Registrant's ability to develop and introduce new services. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Registrant expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, its unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.Overview.
The Registrant, through its website www.gameznflix.com is an online console video game and DVD movie rental business dedicated to providing customers a quality rental experience. The Registrant offers customers a reliable, web-based, high-quality alternative to traditional store-based gaming rentals on a national scale. The Registrant's service is an alternative to store-based gaming rentals that offer a high level of customer service, quality titles, and superior product availability.
In March 2004, the Registrant launched its website, http://www.gameznflix.com, and began operating in the online DVD and video game rental industry. In conjunction with the website launch, the company also launched a national television ad campaign designed to create awareness among the company's target consumers and to generate traffic to the website. In June 2004, the Registrant launched the second phase of the television ad campaign, and launched its redesigned website on its new IBM server. This second phase is more narrowly designed to attract the core consumer to the products of the Registrant and smooth out the initial operations of the company. During the 3rd quarter of 2004, the Registrant continued to refine and develop its website and established its distribution channels by outsourcing the fulfillment to National Fulfillment, Inc., which provides shipping from Los Angeles, California and Lebanon, Tennessee.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to focus its attentions and investment of resources in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its client base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its client base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and the ability to continue to operate the business.
Results of Operations.
(a) Revenues.
The Registrant reported $157,386 in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $121,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $36,116 or approximately 30%. The Registrant reported revenues of $99,683 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $42,540 for the three-months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $57,143 or approximately 133%. These increases in revenues were due to the change in business focus from consulting services to DVD and video game rentals. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Registrant primarily spent its efforts on redesigning its website and developing its marketing campaign which in effect resulted in an overall decrease in gross income as compared to the prior periods.
(b) Advertising.
Advertising expenses were $402,907 and $2,077,609 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2004 compared to zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Advertising expenses increased as result of the marketing campaign through television advertising and is anticipated to continue at similar levels for the next three to six months and reduce to approximately 50% of current levels.
(c) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $719,554 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $88,026 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $631,528 or approximately 720%. These expenses were $223,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $81,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $141,957 or approximately 174%. These increases in these expenses are primarily due to salaries and website development costs. The Registrant believes selling, general and administrative expenses will continue at such levels due to anticipated growth in the next six to twelve months.
The numbers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were changed from $42,788 and $49,061, respectively, as reported in the September 30, 2003 Form 10-QSB due to a reclassification of compensation ($38,965) to selling, general and administrative expenses.
(d) Consulting Fees.
Consulting fees was $4,893,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $92,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4,800,427 or approximately 5,180%. These expenses were $2,511,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $2,486,727 or approximately 9,950%. These increases in consulting fees are due primarily to hiring of business consultants to develop the Registrant's business model for the launching of the DVD movie and video game on-line rental service. The Registrant believes that such expenses will continue for the next three months since, as of September 30, 2004, prepaid consulting expenses approximating $1,175,000 will be expensed within the next three months.
(e) Professional Fees.
Professional fees were $233,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $13,771 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $219,815 or approximately 1,590%. Professional fees were $74,414 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $12,286 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $62,128 or approximately 505%. These increases are primarily due to the retaining of attorneys and accountants for purpose of beginning operations of the DVD and video game rental online service and complying with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations relating to review and reporting requirements.
(f) Net Loss.
The Registrant reported a net loss of $7,945,385 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a compared to a net profit of $217,000 (which was due primarily to the forgiveness of debt by shareholders) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, a change of $8,162,385. The Registrant reported a net loss of $3,223,792 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to a net loss $76,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $3,147,792 or approximately 4,140%. These changes were due to the factors described above. The Registrant believes that such losses will continue for at least the next six to twelve months as it continues the marketing campaign and brand recognition of "GameZnFlix" to the general public and targeted consumers.
Factors That May Affect Operating Results.
The operating results of the Registrant can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside its control. General factors that may affect the Registrant's operating results include:
- market acceptance of and changes in demand for services;
- a small number of customers account for, and may in future periods account for, substantial portions of the Registrant's revenue, and revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers;
- gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
- announcement or introduction of new services by the Registrant or by its competitors;
- price competition;
- the ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
- the ability to introduce and market services in accordance with market demand;
- changes in governmental regulation; and
- reduction in or delay of capital spending by clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability.
The Registrant believes that its planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on the ability to promote its services, gain clients and expand its relationship with current clients. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to invest in marketing, strategic partnerships, and development of its customer base. If the Registrant is not successful in promoting its services and expanding its customer base, this may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and its ability to continue to operate its business.
The Registrant is also subject to the following specific factors that may affect its operating results:
(a) Competition.
The market for on-line rental of DVD's and games is competitive and the Registrant expects competition to continue to increase. In addition, the companies with whom the Registrant has relationships could develop services that compete with the Registrant's services. Also, some competitors in the Registrant's market have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and greater brand recognition than the Registrant does. The Registrant also expects to face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the market for on-line rentals. To be competitive, the Registrant believes that it must, among other things, invest resources in developing new services, improving its current services, and maintaining customer satisfaction. Such investment will increase the Registrant's expenses and affect its profitability. In addition, if it fails to make this investment, the Registrant may not be able to compete successfully with its competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on its revenue and future profitability.
(b) Technological and Market Changes.
The markets in which the Registrant competes are characterized by new service introductions, evolving industry standards, and changing needs of customers. There can be no assurance that the Registrant's existing services will continue to be properly positioned in the market or that it will be able to introduce new or enhanced products into the market on a timely basis, or at all. Currently, the Registrant is focusing on upgrading and introducing new services. There can be no assurance that enhancements to existing products or new products will receive customer acceptance.
There is a risk to the Registrant that there may be delays in initial implementation of new services. Further risks inherent in new service introductions include the uncertainty of price-performance relative to services of competitors, competitors' responses to its new service introductions, and the desire by customers to evaluate new services for longer periods of time.
(c) Key Personnel.
The Registrant's success is largely dependent on the personal efforts and abilities of its senior management. The loss of certain members of the Registrant's senior management, including the company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief technical officer, could have a material adverse effect on the company's business and prospects.
The Registrant intends to recruit in fiscal year 2004 employees who are skilled in its industry. The failure to recruit these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's business. As a result, the Registrant may experience increased compensation costs that may not be offset through either improved productivity or higher revenue. There can be no assurances that the Registrant will be successful in retaining existing personnel or in attracting and recruiting experienced qualified personnel.
Operating Activities.
The net cash used by operating activities was $2,068,793 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $95,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (changed from $(14,556) as reported in the September 30, 2003 Form 10-QSB due to a reclassification of increase in notes payable ($81,410) to financing activities), an increase of $1,972,827 or approximately 2,055%. A significant portion of cash used was attributed to marketing and professional expenses related to developing, launching and marketing the on-line rental of DVD's and games.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of September 30, 2004, the Registrant had total current assets of $1,776,764 and total current liabilities of $1,273,269, resulting in a working capital surplus of $503,495.
The Registrant has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations for the last two years; however the company has been successful in obtaining cash resources through private placements and the exercise of options. Financing activities provided cash of $2,471,271 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $81,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $2,389,861 or approximately 2,930%. Financing activities for 2004:
(a) The Registrant commenced a private placement on November 29, 2003 and sold 16,837,646 shares of common stock from that date to September 1, 2004 to 87 investors (66 of which are accredited) for a total consideration of approximately $606,835.
(b) The Registrant commenced a private placement on September 24, 2004 and sold 384,615 shares of common stock from that date to September 30, 2004 to 1 investor (who was accredited) for a total consideration of approximately $5,000.
(c) In addition, from February 18, 2004 to August 31, 2004, options covering approximately 67,042,000 shares of common stock were exercised (average of $0.041 per share) into free trading stock under the Registrant's Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in proceeds to the company of approximately $2,764,000.
The Registrant's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity or debt financing. The Registrant estimates that it will need to raise up to $10,000,000 over the next twelve months for such purposes. However, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to the Registrant. The ability of the Registrant to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Registrant's business plan. The Registrant's independent accountants audit reports included in the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 includes a substantial doubt paragraph regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Registrant may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of its planned product development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition, which could require the company to:
- curtail operations significantly;
- sell significant assets;
- seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the company to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or
- explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of the company.
To the extent that the Registrant raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Registrant's operations. Regardless of whether the Registrant's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the company's operational needs, the Registrant may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which will also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Inflation.
The impact of inflation on the costs of the Registrant, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Registrant is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Registrant's operations over the past quarter, and the company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.
Other.
The Registrant does not provide post-retirement or post- employment benefits requiring charges under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and No. 112.
Critical Accounting Policies.
The SEC has issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" ("FRR 60"), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Registrant's most critical accounting policies include: (a) use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements; (b) non-cash compensation valuation; (c) revenue recognition; and (d) impairment of long-lived assets. The methods, estimates and judgments the Registrant uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Registrant reports in its financial statements.
(a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
The preparation of these financial statements requires the Registrant to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Registrant evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. The Registrant bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
(b) Non-Cash Compensation Valuation.
The Registrant intends to issue shares of common stock to various individuals and entities for management, legal, consulting and marketing services. These issuances will be valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of shares issued is determined, based upon the open market closing price of common stock as of the date of each respective transaction. These transactions will be reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Registrant's statement of operations.
(c) Revenue Recognition.
Revenue from proprietary software sales that does not require further commitment from the Registrant is recognized upon shipment. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. License revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license. Video game subscription revenues are recognized when billed. Customers are required to authorize a monthly automatic charge to a major credit card. Because of this, the billing and receipt of revenue occur simultaneously. Subscribers pay on a monthly basis and may cancel service at anytime. The cost of services, consisting of staff payroll, outside services, equipment rental, communication costs and supplies, is expensed as incurred.
(d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The Registrant reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Registrant would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles.
Forward Looking Statements.
The foregoing management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "forecast," "project," and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. These are statements that relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements as to the Registrant's estimates as to the adequacy of its capital resources, its need and ability to obtain additional financing, the features and benefits of its services, its growth strategy, the need for additional sales and support staff, its operating losses and negative cash flow, its critical accounting policies, and factors contributing to its future growth. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed above, as well as risks related to the Registrant's ability to develop and introduce new services. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Registrant expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Even though we showed a overall loss due to advertising and new expenses. We actually showed a great increase in revenue too. If you look at last quarter we were behind last years revenues and this quarter we were quiet abit ahead. We actually made three times as much this quarter as we did all year from previous quarter. Now thats a good thing. Shows we had a big Subscription increase. We made nearly $100,000.00 this quarter while compared to last 6 months we only made $57,000.00 for a total of $157,000.00 (rounded) for the year. That is wonderful news.
We made 72,000.00 more this quarter then last. Love to know the sub numbers. Just think thats with Affliate program so we get little of the actual sells for the first month or quarter.

I'm doing paced accumulation on even minor dips!
Alot of competition in this sector & some of these companies will not make it & that's why we're so cheap right now. This one looks better than most.

GameZnFlix, Inc. Exhibits at Webmaster World Convention
Tuesday November 30, 10:29 am ET
FRANKLIN, Ky., Nov.30 /PRNnewswire-FirstCall/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX - News), a provider of online video game and DVD movies for rent or purchase, today announced continued growth in its recently launched affiliate program. The GameZnFlix affiliate program compensates web site owners and online marketers on a cost per action model for referring new subscribers to GameZnFlix.
This November over 1,000 affiliate marketers attended a convention in Las Vegas, Nevada sponsored by Webmaster World. As an exhibitor, GameZnFlix was able to directly present its program to the attending affiliates, some of which have attained a level of performance that makes them known in the Internet marketing industry as "super affiliates."
Joe Sousa, one of the super affiliates that recently joined the GameZnFlix program, stated, "I've been promoting other DVD and game rental services in the past with good results; however, the new GameZnFlix options are in my opinion a better deal for consumers and it's a better deal for affiliates as well. My focus has changed from promoting those other services to aggressively promoting GameZnFlix."
"Our affiliate program is a vital part of our plan for increasing our subscriber base," stated Michael Reader, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "To help grow the program, we've engaged Ross Jones to be our new Director of Affiliate Marketing. Mr. Jones brings several years' experience as an affiliate to the table, so he understands how affiliates work, and how to recruit and motivate them."
Mr. Jones has started training existing GameZnFlix affiliates on advanced Internet marketing techniques, such as Search Engine Optimization and Pay Per Click advertising. In addition to handling the day to day management of the affiliate program, Mr. Jones has two major initiatives underway: The first is recruiting super affiliates; the second is training average affiliates to become super affiliates.
The results have been positive, with over 1,700 affiliates joining the GameZnFlix program since its inception in October 2004.
GameZnFlix is a company that offers video games/DVD movies for rental or purchase on the Internet with access to over about 28,000 games and movie titles. Beginning at $17.25 a month subscribers can rent a combination of both video games and/or DVD movies with no late fees or due dates or members can purchase video games and/or DVD movie titles at a membership discount.

HMMMMMM? plus it's on in the 4th freakin quarter!!!!! Chances are the game outcome is not in doubt, people have switched off, or are drunk and/or asleep.!!!! No, sorry folks, there'll be no...$1.00 by next year or the year after. We got hosed.

Universal Express and The Convex Group Partner for the Distribution of a 48-Hour, No Return DVD
Business Wire - November 30, 2004 13:35
NEW YORK, Nov 30, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP), announced today that its subsidiary UniversalPost has formed an exclusive partnership within the postal store industry with The Convex Group to distribute Flexplay limited-play DVDs in UniversalPost's member stores.
Flexplay is a patented technology that renders DVDs unreadable 48 hours after being removed from a specially sealed package. Once the package is opened, the movie can be watched an unlimited number of times within the 48 hour window. The disposable nature of Flexplay, which is recyclable, creates a viable alternative to traditional rental models, with no returns or late fees.
"Not only is the message of NOEL important for everyone during the holidays, it also makes a great gift," remarked Chazz Palminteri, Director of NOEL. "The convenience of Flexplay allows people everywhere in all areas of the country to share a holiday film, which I believe can change people's lives. Because Flexplay is like a no-return DVD rental, the gift of NOEL on Flexplay can be sent anywhere to share the miracle of the season at a cost much lower than a regular DVD."
"The benefits to the consumer include economical price point, no returns or late fees and perfect quality playback on any standard DVD player," stated Linda Jacobucci, President of UniversalPost, "And as a distributor of the DVDs, the postal stores will add value to their retail stock in offering a product on the edge of technology."
About Universal Express
Universal Express, Inc. owns and operates several subsidiaries including Universal Express Capital Corp., (including its USXP Cash Express division) Universal Express Logistics, Inc. (including Virtual Bellhop, LLC and Luggage Express), and the UniversalPost Network. These subsidiaries and divisions provide the private postal industry and consumers with value-added services and products, logistical services, equipment leasing, and cost-effective delivery of goods worldwide.

If you say the service is poor, maybe it is, but compared to what - Netflix? It is unfair to compare any other company to Netflix. Give the other companies some time to develop. I mean seriously, why do you think Netflix is so much better? They have 29 distribution centers for Christ's sake. How many does GZFX have????? 2...2 2 2!!! NFLX used to be the same way and it used to take forever to get movies, and the selection was not nearly what it is today.
As the subscribers grow, we will have more money, with more money, we can create more dist. centers, improving service, and also have more money for advertising. I think that the superbowl commercial was a bad decision in the first place - spending that much this early is crazy. The best thing is the affiliate program, that will help this thing grow!!
--I know I said it is unfair to compare GZFX and NFLX, and I did just that, but I did it in a different manner. I am saying it from a point of what they have to potential to be. You all are saying that is what they should be right now, and that is not the case, plain and simple. Give it some time.
I seriously do not mean this as a pump, I am down just as much (probably even more) than most of you, but I still have faith. I would have liked to have seen a large jump when it launched, but that didn't happen, and it might not for sometime.
I do not know if we will reach a dollar - I think there is the potential - what I do know is that this thing will reach a price higher than what I bought in at and that is all I care about.
I am sure most of you bought this stock on its potential. Well, to be honest, I don't see that they have lost any of this potential. They may have made some mistakes along the way, but they learn from those, and that learning is what helps them reach their full potential.

GameZnFlix, Inc. Provides an Operational Update
Wednesday December 1, 9:00 am ET
FRANKLIN, Ky., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX - News), a provider of online video game and DVD movies for rent or purchase, is providing an update on certain company operational issues. Gary Hohman, President of GameZnFlix, Inc., stated: "We successfully released the newest version of our website this October. This latest version offers customers a more robust and functional site along with new purchase options not available on the earlier versions. In addition, our IT team, headed by Chip Gallent, has been able to build a more in depth real-time data reporting application that allows us to data mine all customer and inventory levels as well as giving us the ability to more effectively project our inventory and customer needs. This week will also show the addition of gift certificates to our website, allowing our members and nonmembers alike to purchase memberships and pass them on to friends and family. Enhanced functions such as product availability, which will provide the members with a better indication of expected shipping time, are being developed and intended to be functional in 2005.
"The company has been experiencing outbound shipping delays due to the demand on limited inventory, and return to inventory queue delays based on software communications issues. Due to increasing inventory demands, the company has increased its inventory purchase program to help to eliminate outbound shipping delays. The company has made adjustments to software to help to alleviate the return to inventory queue delays. In addition, the company is planning to add two additional distribution centers in 2005 to smooth processing for both outbound and return to inventory; locations being considered, among others, are Denver and New Jersey. National Fulfillment Inc. currently handles our fulfillment needs from Gordonsville, Tennessee and Rancho Dominguez, California.
"Earlier this year, we reserved a 30 second commercial spot that was to run during the Super Bowl on the Fox Television Network. After close consideration, we have released the reserved Super Bowl slot and instead are in the process of securing time with three local Fox affiliates in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Washington. The planned ad will be aired during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. Although this commercial will not be aired on the national network, the company will still be promoting the GameZnFlix brand to a large viewing audience but in a more cost effective and manageable manner.
"As we close out 2004, the company will continue to maintain its Internet presence through the affiliate program launched in September 2004. The affiliate program has proven to be the most cost effective way to bring new members to GameZnFlix and we will be budgeting our marketing and advertising dollars in 2005 to target the Internet almost exclusively. Targeted print and cable spot buys will still be utilized to complement the 2005 Internet campaign. In addition, Michael Reader, VP of Sales and Marketing, will be initiating a Corporate Employee incentive program to compliment our membership drive. In 2005 we will also kick off a 'Customer Retention Program' that will focus on bringing back old customers through incentive and rewards programs.
"As the company continues to move forward, it is imperative that we internalize certain functions in order to maintain a higher level of quality control, minimize capital outlay, and maximize productivity and customer experience. With this in mind, we have developed our own high speed server and redundancy system and have internalized the hosting. This alone will save the company substantial monthly provider and hosting fees, which can in turn be utilized to address the always growing inventory needs. In 2005 the company will also begin using a new lighter mailer that will result in savings on both the mailer itself as well as on postage."
In addition to the above, the following milestones represent areas of development that the company is currently working on for 2005.
* Product management expansion that will focus on movies and games as
two separate divisions for greater quality control and effective
buying.
* Retail sales expansion on the site for members and nonmembers alike
* Grass roots advertising campaign targeting the rural communities
across the country
* Research and development to identify future product delivery platforms
* Sponsorship and endorsement programs
* Possible expansion into the United Kingdom
GameZnFlix is a company that offers video games/DVD movies for rental or purchase on the Internet with access to over about 28,000 games and movie titles.

I hope you last two weren't referring to my post in your posts. Not one time did I compare Gameznflix to Netflix. I just stated that I tried gzfx and couldn't get any movies or games sent. From the sounds of your posts you are the ones that are sweating losses. I could give a **** about the losses I have suffered in this stock. I have picked a lot of stocks that I am down in (I am a lousy picker, hence the reason I don’t post). Maybe I am wrong and you are referring to someone else's post. All I am saying is that I think we (gzfx) will have a hard time getting a customer base with companies like Netflix, Walmart, and BBI out there. I don't research it like you guys obviously, but aren't we like 50 cents to a dollar cheaper than netflix. I am sorry, but I received 3 movies in 21/2 weeks with gzfx (I had a variety of movies in my queue). With Netflix as soon as I mail a movie off, the next day or so I receive more. Yes I am comparing the two, but that is because we are in the same market with damn near the same price. I promise you all, I am the last person to bash. I am just stating my opinion. The only chances of the market we have right now are the gamers (I had games in my queue also). Even at that we still have Gamefly amongst others competing. I will continue to hold though. I think our best hope will be we get bought out or something. Anyway, gl to all on Wed.!
I was not referring to your post. In fact, I had not even read your post when I started writing mine.
And I see you are comparing gzfx and nflx and that is fine, but understand my point. You get your movies with Netflix so quickly because they have 29 distribution centers throughout the country. Gameznflix has two and they are still building their inventory (when somebody rents a movie, they order it then ship it when they receive it). Once this is done, the process will be slowed.
Trust me, when NFLX first opened up they had two distribution centers and the process took just as long. As they built up customers, they were able to expand - the same thing will happen with us. I mean think about it, do you think blockbuster started with 500 stores right when they opened??? How about Hollywood Video?
It is the same thing, we will grow and increase distribution centers which will lead to faster shipments and receptions which will lead to happier customers.
You say we are in the same market, and that is true, but it will still take some time to increase our market share. You cannot start as the top company. Even NFLX, when they were the only online rental place out there took quite a while to build customers -- we will experience the same process plain and simple.

Has everyone seen the updated Gameznflix website? To say it's an improvement would be an understatement. I'm sure most of you have seen it, but I haven't stopped by the site in a few months. It's much easier to search, there are descriptions of the movies, and more of the titles actually show the movie cover! I will say two things about Gameznflix. They back up their words with action, and they don't hype up the share price with alot of B.S. What you see is what you get. It obviously ain't no Netflix, but they don't pretend to be either.

Uhhh what's disaster recovery mean??? Seriously this has always been a two bit operation... the only reason this stock was hyped is the model works... IF you have a solid distribution center/support/website built around it ... all of which we never had. Now if this was the first comp to offer dvds through the mail then yea its acceptable but it's not there is many competitors that offer solid service.. i've been using blockbuster not for 4 months and their sevice is fast and phenomenal.
Its funny all the pissers that said "yeah but blockbuster sux... blah blah late fees ... don't want to deal with blockbuster..." oi get lost.. nobody cares ... the bottom line is with the new promo blockbuster is 16.99 a month and service is fast and reliable with WAT more selection. Even netflix is better...
I told ya so

I think a SuperBowl commercial would be a huge waste of money. What this company needs is more distribution centers. That is just my two cents. Have a great day all!
sorry
but I told you all Netflix and blockbuster > gzfx
I mean who the hell wants to order a movie and then pray it shows up sometime. I work 9-5 mon - fri and sat sun are movie nites so I need my movies 2-3 days after I order them not 3 weeks later. Stupid gzfx waisted so many summer weekends ... blockbuster I order and boom 3 days later its in my mail box.

YES BUT what came first??? netflix or gzfx??? Netflix were pioneers and NO i call bullshyte on service being the same. I too used netflix from the beginning and yes there were some annoyances but over the service was really good which is why it got so popular meanwhile gzfx is in the gutter and always will be. How can you host a site on 1 server?? what type of silly buisness is that!

I would say to anyone that is still in, don't sell and wait it out. As long as we keep growing this company really could turn out to be a player. Netflix was worse then this after two years when it came out.
are you kidding me?!?!?!? There are OTHER already stable companies that offer the same darn service.. Unless a person is retarded and likes to spend the same amount of cash never get their movies on time... they will ALWAYS go to walmart/bbi or netflix.
WHen netflix was starting there was NO other competitors so they could take time to grow...
Oh my goodness! GZFX just lost its biggest pumper!! I hope you lose your ass on queer bid. I lost over half of mine on GZFX.

You can either play pennies one of two ways. Swing (daytrade) or hold long. Meaning longer then 6 months. No one knows what this company is going to be in a year but that is the risk you take when you buy a startup company for pennies hoping for dollars. Get real people and quit blaming others. If you can't take the risk, go to the big board and average 10% a year.
Ric"Oh my goodness! GZFX just lost its biggest pumper!! I hope you lose your ass on queer bid. I lost over half of mine on GZFX.
Just because you lost in GZFX doesn't mean you need to hope people lose theirs on "queer bid." Quit being an ******* and grow up!!

Well, I'll put it to you like this.. They charge almost the same amount as NFLX with 1/100th the service. I returned a movie over 2 weeks ago and they still haven't cleared it from my Que. I've picked some old and odd movies I've never even heard of just so they would sent something and quit telling me to make more selections. They finally send me one but days after sending it back they send me another then another copy of the same movie, unreal. It said they sent me a movie in my que and I finally get it, took a long time.. no wonder, postmarked Cali. I bet sending them back and forth from Cali will save them a ton in postage as it takes about a week to get here and a week to get back and that was a copy of a tv show! I wouldn't have put up with this crap except that I held shares in it. Then they say they can't have a nationwide ad on the superbowl, that I thought they were prepared for, because of funds. To top all this off the biggest pumper of this stock says "CYA!". So basically, its not a good situation. I did get out. Good luck with your company. It will soon announce that its bankrupt, going out of business and all shares will be worthless. I'm sure they have made a good amount of money on it. They will probably reopen under another name to make some more money.
I bet I never see the dvd player. They probably offered that knowing most people would cancel their sub.
Hmmm... maybe I should start a business and sell shares. I could make a killing!

By advertising in smaller markets they will literally save millions of dollars. I think the Super Bowl ad was a bad idea in the first place.
Think about it, if they did advertise during the superbowl, they would have to sell 133,334 subscriptions to make up for the cost. That would make them the 2,300,000 back, but clearly the 17.25 sub fee isn't pure profit.
So don't say they screwed over anybody by not advertising during the bowl - they saved their asses if anything.
What a joke, good think I didnt put more money in this scam of a company.
Then dont even look at this

Every business starts out small and has hills to overcome. The bashers think you should come out running and never stop. That never happens. Business is an everyday battle. I still look for this to hit around .20 after the superbowl and topping .50 for 2005.
The latest kicker is BBI is working with post offices/tracking so when you mail a DVD back and the POST OFFICE received it.. BBI will at that point send your next movie in its Queue instead of waiting for the DVD to arrive at their distro center to be creditited to your account...
amazing.. now that is innovative!
