Well I can see what your saying now. But that still is you. Each can not have every thing. If GZFX has 23,000 titles to chose from in movies there are going to be a few that Neflix may have they don't but then to I have found some on GZFX that Netflix doesn't. But I can understand where you are going. They are new and they also get movies not in stock from there distributor so I would say if you requestd something from them they could get it.

They need to go head-to-head with NetFlix to compete. To ignore that is a stupid statement by itself. LOL

Just got back from block buster. They tried to tell me I returned two DVDs two hours late & owed them the same as when I first rented them.
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."

Can anyone tell me the situation with the share structure on GZFX? I've just found out what TFCT has dropped on my lap and I'm thinking of jumping ship over to here.

I don't think that any penny can get away from dilution even GZFX. QBID had a 2 billion dilution during a supposed buyback, WNMI did during what I thought was a money making time for them, and TCFT did at a surprising time too just for a few. Unfortunately thats the world of the pennies. They need financing and dilution is a option especially when normal finance options are not available. Most banks are afraid of these companies themselves. I do think though that GZFX has made an attempt to keep it to a minimum. It is one of the few that has foregone a dilution this year. They have had to do some though to finace there advertising. A couple months ago they did stop a pending 150,000 dilution when they felt they really didn't need it at the time and were going to look at other options. I got the feeling from that, that they had some concern about us stockholders. Plus it looks to me that they are getting ready to start moving up again. JMHO

Seen that one on TV already. Can't wait for quarterly now. The last one listed the subs on it so I hope this one will too so we can compare. Profits or shall I say loses aren't that important this quarter because I am sure Advertising ate that up big time. So, the only way we can tell if we are growing is subs at this point.

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. .............................................................
I love reading stuff like this. Matter of time till this company gets recognition from the street.

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.
Regards,
Michael

I guess maybe I should try this. Start a web site that recommends it and have a affliate link at the bottom. Site came up pretty high in search engine. http://www.rossjones.com/gameznflix/netflix.html
GameZnFlix Rental Review - Read this 1st! Home - GameZnFlix - GameZnFlix vs NetFlix - GameSnFlix Experience - GameAndFlix Spelling - GameZnFlix Affiliate Program
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.

Good news: Netflix is getting hammered after hours. Bad news: They're going to be cheaper than us.
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.
