I went to the site and noticed several problems. It seems all of the movies that I saw were listed as the wrong year, and also, the synopsis of the movies is short and the spelling is not too great.
EX:
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (2003) PART WAR MOVIE, PART COURTROOM THRILLER, THIS GRIPPING DRAMA FINDA A WAR HERO PUT ON TRIAL FOR A RESCUE MISSION GONE TERRIBLY WTONG, WITH ONLY HIS DOUBTFUL FRIEND AND FELLOW MARIN TO REPRESENT HIM. Category: Drama
Now I see a lot of movies and I can tell you that this movie did not come out in 2003, it was more like 2000 or maybe even earlier. Hope that they fix these spelling errors soon, and put the proper dates the movies were released.

Mr.Pimp- I took everything out of GZFX to put into WNMI. I think WNMI will follow the GZFX run pattern and soar next week. GZFX stock price already has some of this weekends events built in.

Hmm. I was confused as to why they would start a national ad campaign for the site while the web address still takes you to a corporate page...I thought maybe they'd dropped the ball. But...maybe it's a stroke of genius in disguise? (Just trying to be as upbeat as possible.) I mean...Mom and Pop America surf to GamezNflix.com to register for their family after seeing the commercial today and thinking "great idea" but instead they get a corporate website, and then it hits them..."Ground floor" ! They click on over to Ameritrade to put in their buy orders for Monday morning and Hey-presto! Stock flies next week and word of mouth spreads...and GZFX has more working capital for their second wave media blitz. Maybe this is their intended "national stock launch" to compete with Netflix stock as much as it is also their "national product launch". Ok, I have NO marketing experience, and I'm not pretending to...I'm just speculating as to why the corporate site is still up instead of the working rental site. This is pure opinion/speculation. After all, Saturday's are boring, gotta pass the time somehow. Why not daydream about being suddenly rich on Monday! cheers to all.

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.

The date you see may be the date when the DVD was released. This is the case with music on cdnow.com. They give you the release date of the CD rather than the album.

okidoki...commercials airing and site is up and running....and everybody is subscribing like crazy........all is good!!!!!!!...hee haaw!.....monday should be fun..lol

Guys, just because the site is up does not mean that the stock will go up. All investors have known about this news for QUITE SOME TIME. IMO all the launch was factored into the price this week. As for subscribers, you wil probably have to wait a few months until they release revenue and customer data before that gets factored into the pps. And yes the website has many many errors. Personally I would have delayed the launch and made sure all my website errors were fixed. Have you tried clicking on a genre? The movies that come up first on the list I have often never heard of. Looks like another two weeks of work on this site would have done them alot of good.
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.

A few comments here... 1. Roger, i feel MUCH,(meaning 10 times!), better about GZFX than i do PAVP. 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

Glad to see it go live. I know there is a few bugs but they had to get it live today after ads coming out. With that in mind, I think the site looks good. I am sure they will be adding corrections daily and fixing any problem they have. I know a few have mentioned the ads. They have to start small and build on it. 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.

There may be a PR on Monday related to the success and short comings of the first weekend. 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.
posted
It is probably a good move to air the commercials on the stations which they have choosen. You have to realize that this is a very big and expensive step for the company. As the bugs are worked out and revenue is built up I am sure that we will see the ads aired more and more in the prime time and on other networks. Prime time on the major networks do cost a lot more but they are worth it as long as the cash is available to do so.
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.

This Company is going to Explode, here is why:
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. :-)

I just think its a little unfair to expect this much this quick. Remember that NetFlix spent 4 years losing money. Also more and more competitors are now entering the market with wal-mart, blockbuster, and other businesses planning to do a rent via online store method. I just think its very unlikely to see some huge rocket in pps. Not saying this isnt a a great company to own. I personally have some and will keep it set aside for a couple years. But no, this company will not see cash flow for years. It has entered an increasingly competitive market with no sizable advantages over its competitor. Without the ability to differentiate its product(the homepage looks eerily similar to that of NetFlix), it is unreasonable to assume that this pps will explode on anything other than speculation. But I hope speculation takes all of you short termers for a fun ride.

I think it's important to keep one eye on Netflix now as well- I notice that it's down about 25% (around 10.00) from its 52-week high (set in early February), and in a mixed down-trend: maybe their investors are starting to feel a little selling pressure? It would be nice to see some of them jump ship to GZFX: after all, Netflix's market share is about to take a SERIOUS hit. Speaking of Serious- or more precisely, Sirius: I'm looking forward to the day when both Netflix and GZFX share a spread similar to the current XM-to-Sirius spread- or better.

Actually effectively NetFlix is priced around 54 dollars a share right now due to its 2 for 1 stock split.
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.

I agree with your earliler post, Roger, and I'm in this one for the long haul just like you are. But there are a few things to keep in mind regarding GZFX. First, in order for us to do well in this stock, GZFX doesn't have to have the market share that Netflix has- even if we had 10% (around 60,000 subscribers)of the market share that NFLX enjoys in a year's time, we'd be doing very well. Aqccording to CBSMarketwatch, NFLX's current EBITDA (based upon a client base of 600,000 subscribers) is nearly $58 million. Secondly, the other companies which you mention are doing just as you mentioned- expressing interest in this market: if we beat them into it, as we have, we will build a client base, which will help offset the recent past profit(loss) factor. Secondly, this is a new aspect for GZFX: their previous venture (under which their balance sheets headed south) was in Japanese Anime cartoons, followed by a period of inactivity. This is a much better venue than going to trade shows and trying to sell cartoons: Anime is a fad based upon smaller fads with limited long-term stability (ex.: when is the last time you heard the word Pokemon?)- this is a long-term venture with an increasing market base. Third, GZFX's current market cap is $60m. While that is high, NFLX's is almost $1.5 billion, and it's price to earnings ratio is 289.7. Theoretically at this rate of return, it would take NFLX almost 300 years of earnings just to be able to repurchase all outstanding shares at their current price. On top of this, GZFX is doing things right from the start: I have never heard or seen a commercial on the radio or TV for NFLX. Plus, GZFX has the ability to take a look at NFLX's services and refine them in ways that NFLX never had the ability to: GZFX can- and has- learned from NFLX's mistakes. Also, NFLX has just over 11,500 titles in their library, while GZFX has around 28,000. The start-up is obviously the hardest part of a company such as this, and as they grow, their predominant interest employment-wise is going to be on the menial level, meaning that the overwhelming majority of their leadership roles are already filled- new employees will most likely be shippers and such, at the lower end of the pay scale: in other words, the high paying jobs are already filled, and future growth will be countered with lower priced labor, resulting in profit growth at that end as well. I know you're not negative on this stock- just cautious, but I just wanted to try to reassure you. If this doesn't do it, check this out: http://www.stockta.com/cgi-bin/opinion.pl?symb=GZFX&num1=1&mode=stock GLTA, God Bless, and Good nite.

Zeker, Great post. I was just being wary of people talking about a pps explosion. Nothing pisses an investor off faster than convincing themselves that the pps is going to rocket and then it doesnt. 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.

glfpimp, I believe the dates listed on the site are the DVD RELEASE dates, not the date of the movie.

You guys have to think like a marketer. The TV ads are spaced out by days and different channels for a reason. It will show which channels bring in the most new subs. Then in the future they will know which channels to spend their money on. As for the games, they haven't linked the site to veegeez yet, and the commercial is geared to bring in subs for DVD's, not the games. IE:
BOCA RATON, Fla., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AdSouth Partners, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADPR - News) is excited to announce that it has successfully retained high-profile, nationally recognized talent for the GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GZFX - News) 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.
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.

Good level headed messages on this board. Contrary to what many will admit part of my DD includes the level of interest on message boards as well as What rational long term investors think. I will be watching this Monday for a possible entry point.
As to whether this company has a future, that's no longer in doubt.

I am adding the GZFX banner ad to as many sites as possible (five currently). If you know of any free sites (or cheap) to post ads, be sure to post them to get the name out.
