90/95 now. Real nice site, though. They just added video preview for games. The trading aspect is unique. They are gaining subs, that's for sure.
They were probably overvalued to begin with. I'm curious about current sub numbers. Will just wait for the Q.
90 cents, with a bid of 80 cents, whew
On second thought...

You nailed it in your GZFX vs GTAP post on the other board. The difference is funding methods.
qrtly report as of 3/31 released....
170,000 in revenue for the online gaming division, if i read it right.....
if my guess is correct... that is about 3000 subscribers...
$20 bucks a month x 3 mths = $60 bucks....x 3000 subs =
roughly 180,000 bucks.....
gtap is where gzfx was at 2 years ago....
the weird thing is that gzfx is factually the much bigger company with respect to their online divisions..... but wall street has gtap valued much higher than gzfx.....

$4.85???

Monday May 21, 9:00 am ET
GIG HARBOR, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 21, 2007 -- Gottaplay Interactive, Inc. (OTC BB:GTAP.OB - News) announced today that independent equity research firm Harbinger Research has raised the target price of Gottaplay shares to $4.85. Analysts cite the "recent and wise" acquisition of Gamershare, an online videogame trading platform, as well as a capital influx of $2.285 million. Harbinger rates Gottaplay a "speculative buy" indicating that the firm believes Gottaplay could appreciate more than ten percent relative to the general market in the next 12-24 months.
In its report, Harbinger praised Gottaplay's management and its business strategy. The research firm said the acquisition and capital infusion has reduced Gottaplay's risk profile. The report added that Gottaplay's proprietary technology offers the promise of a highly scaleable business model. Harbinger particularly likes Gottaplay's move into the online videogame trading market, saying the move proves "Gottaplay knows what gamers want and can attract many of the 70-million gamers out there."

GIG HARBOR, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 10, 2007 -- Gottaplay Interactive, Inc. (OTC BB:GTAP.OB - News), a leading provider of online video game rental subscription services, announced today that it will open its newest distribution center in Pittsburgh, PA on April 20th, 2007.
"Gottaplay is aggressively working to expand its market-leading video game distribution footprint to increase the speed with which we can get games into the hands of our growing member base.

I have used all those. I like GnF because they offer movies also. Need a wider library though. Gamefly is cool also. Solid service.
NOS, how long you been a member? What plan are you on? You ever use Gamefly or Gameznflix? From which Gottaplay distribution center do you receive your games?
Thanks,
bry
Yeah they actually had GOW 2. Very sick game.
Big gottaplay fan. Been a member for quite awhile. Great customer service
100 subs a day is pretty good. Don't know how accurate that number is though. Gottaplay IS all over Google and Yahoo Search under the top keywords, so 100 could be right.
Gottaplay could be taking many away from Gamefly.
We'll see when the next Q comes out if the market cap is really bloated or not.
I was talking with a guy about the company and it's subscribers base. He said at the beginning it was rough, but since then he stated that GTAP is Averaging 100 subsribers a day for the past two months. Thay are retaining about 75% of those subscribers. Which is great. About the market cap you know I don't think it is that bloated, to be frank. I'll have to be honest, when I first started doing my own DD it seemed like that. After talking with people involved in the company and what they have going for them, with this new Gamer Platform, I think it is right where it should be for the time being. Also I think that this stock has a pretty tight float, and that could be the reason for it being so high at earlier stages. The company must have gotten the right people invested from the beginning.
P24, I agree with the point about Gottaplay potential. But right now, that's all there is. I like what the company is attempting to do. Will it play out into large subscriber numbers? We'll see.
You say growth is huge? Did the last 10Q outline subscriber numbers? By my last estimate there are maybe less than 1000? Could be way more by now.
And regarding PPS, it seems a bit steep. Market cap about $65M? Something like that.
Brytex growth is huge...think about it NetFlex and Blockbuster are battling it out on the video side......blockbuster has not tapped into thier video game aspect of it, but when they do Net Flix will be forced to go into the gaming side of things. GTAP has a business model almost exactly like Netflix w/ distribution centers in 9 different centers in the US. This company has a lot and I mean a lot of potential
The site seems pretty good...Gamers Unite! I'm sure there is some growth, but how much? Current promotion is you can get started on a plan for just one dollar...next best thing to a free trial.
I have researched alot of things about this company and it seems it has a great busniess plan and is growing week by week. I alot of people seem to like their customer service, and its rated 4 out of 5 star in renting video consoles.
