The service's business model is similar to that of Netflix, the leading online rental company based in Los Gatos, Calif. Users will pay a monthly subscription fee that enables them to receive DVDs or games through the mail. After a subscriber returns a title in an envelope with prepaid postage provided by gameznflix.com, another title from the rental selection list they have created is sent. Netflix ended 2003 with about 1.5 million subscribers, a 74 percent increase over 2002. John Fleming, CEO/president of PGHI, said that video game rentals will differentiate gameznflix.com from such competitors as Netflix and walmart.com, which only offer DVDs. At launch, gameznflix.com will offer about 50 top DVDs and a full stock of games. According to Fleming, 99 percent of published video games, including such older titles as "Pong," will be available for rent. Fleming would not disclose what the monthly subscription fee for gameznflix.com will be, though its veegeez.com offers plans that range from $19.95 to $39.95.

Yeah if you search for "gameznflix" on google, there's about 20 links and a few of them link to various news sources with the Billboard article.

If anyone is interested in realtime pennystock chat in StockWatch2, add me to your yahoo list- blocktradez quote: Originally posted by cabbage22: I thought of a good idea today. Many people are looking for a more real time way to communicate during the trading day- I spend the day in yahoo chat room StockWatch1. Most of the people are large cap daytraders. However the room StockWatch2 usually only has 5-10 people in it, I think it would be a good place for us to communicate (and use voice) on a real time basis, without having to post our AOLIM names or yahoo messenger names on the board. What do you think? If its something people are interested in we could start a new thread to let members know- it would be like an all allstocks chat room.

I listened to a radio talk show today which discussed this stock specifically. Didn't hear quite all of the show being busy with working on one of our vacant rentals, but did catch the major topics.A concern metioned is consumer division. One group of consumers would rather purchase a DVD or pirate a copy, to avoid the hassle of subscription rental fees and late fees. They don't want to bother with returns. Another group will support a subscription service like this, if they watch lots of movies per year and are not worried about late fees nor bothered by returns of goods. I find this an interesting comparison. Purl Gurl

Did they discuss the fact they(GamezNflix)are carrying both games and DVDs? That had to make for interesting talk? Was there more than two groups? It seems both groups profiled go to the extremes. One would buy/copy, while the other would only subscribe if the interest levels where high. Very interesting indeed. - IP: Logged |

Is there late fees with this kind of service? I was under the impression that the good thing about a service like this or Netflix is that you can keep a movie as long as you want as long as you keep paying your subscription fee. quote: Originally posted by Purl Gurl: I listened to a radio talk show today which discussed this stock specifically.

I didn't catch all the radio show being busy with physical work, mostly background noise.Have to confess I haven't really investigated this stock to any real degree. I am just sharing what I caught on the radio, for others here to discuss. Those two groups of consumers, this does seem a valid analysis of the market. Game rentals, I don't think would fit well into either of those two groups. Game rentals would appeal to a younger audience, perhaps predominantly teenagers spending parent's money. Perhaps a good market there but a limited market. College students and those bound for college, I don't think would be in this market for game rentals. Late fees? I don't know for certain. This radio show indicated this company charges a late fee for slow returns. I really don't know. Be sure, someone will let you know! Purl Gurl

No. No late fees. And even though the "group" said they don't want to rent, and bother with returning DVD's, Netflix has close to 2 million people who DO. And as the CEO of Netflix said in a recent interview, they have barely scratched the surface.Walt IP: Logged |

Ok, I will read up on this stock and perform some of my own research.It is interesting this stock would be mentioned on a radio talk show which is actually all about computers and related software, nothing to do with stocks. The talk show host just made casual mention while talking about renting DVD disks versus buying DVD disks. Otherwords, he is not paid to promote this stock, just coincidence. He made no negative comments about this stock. It is a bit of a positive to know this stock is being discussed, off-the-cuff, on radio. This radio show is on KFI, here in the west, probably twenty to thirty million listeners, maybe more; popular AM radio station. Purl Gurl

Newstockpicker, it is impossible for your "all this" to have been discussed previously. Perhaps similar topics have been discussed, but not these radio talk show comments.This talk show was aired just this afternoon. Perhaps you should pay more attention to what is being presented here and the time frame of events? Purl Gurl

I posted this a long time ago but I will post it again since we are talking about piracy. Coyping videogames is not as easy as copying DVD movies. Those of you who are into gaming will confirm this statement!If you want to copy a console game, you need to first modify your console by soldering or installing a MOD chip to bypass the copy detection. Then you need to rip an image from the original disc and most of the time you need to find a patch on the net and patch the image before you can burn it on another DVD. Only after all of that is done that you can put the copy in your console and see if you did it right, that is if you didn't fry your console while trying to solder the MOD chip to it! LOL Oh yeah and the Gamecube uses a special format of disc that you can't find at the store!  GLTA! IP: Logged |

I notice in my posts I forgot to mention something which is nice. This talk show host mentioned this company by name, several times. In closing he made a brief comment,"...their stock is skyrocketing." I am not sure I would agree with that but certainly this caught the ear of some as it did for me. My original investigation into this stock led me to label it "loser" stock. Maybe this new acquisition will prove to be a profitable company. I have yet to be convinced of a bottom line net profit, but I do now have a spark of interest. I am concerned this is the only thing PGHI has done right during its business history. There are some negatives to be reconciled. Purl Gurl

Purl Gurl - I have read some of your posts and think that you know what you are talking about most of the time but, here I think you are wrong.The average age of gamers is 29 years old. In 1990 the average age of video game players was 18; now it is 29. Overall, 2003 U.S. sales of console games totaled $5.8 billion (186.4 million units) while computer games accounted for $1.2 billion (52.8 million units) in sales. This is a 7 billion dollar market. We gamers are tired of buying at $50 a pop and then beating the game to never play it again. This market is not tapped into. The Hollywood Video by my house rents out 300 games a month!! Think of all the blockbusters and hollywoods that do this. Blockbuster video has over 8500 locations alone.This past year over one million consoles were sold. With the combination of DVD's and Video games we get both markets. This data can be backed up at this site for all want to see about the video game market. http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20040126005584&newsLang=en And check out blockbuster.com Brada7 quote: Originally posted by Purl Gurl: I didn't catch all the radio show being busy with physical work, mostly background noise.Have to confess I haven't really investigated this stock to any real degree.

What new acquisition? Where were you since September 2003? Veegeez has been acquired a long time ago and the CEO saw the future in the Online Videogame and Movie rental industry that's why PGHI decided to change their name to GamezNFlix and concentrate on that industry.I remember reading your negative posts about PGHI on another thread, you're smart I give you that, but still a basher nonetheless, cheers!  quote: Originally posted by Purl Gurl: Maybe this new acquisition will prove to be a profitable company.

Brada, I was around long before Pong, Atari and Packman came out. So, yes, my viewpoint on average age is most likely skewed by age, my own age which I will not confess.I would not argue against your point, being of a different generation. There is no doubt I am somewhat behind the times on video games, and the age group of popularity. Purl Gurl
