ok, Gameznflix showed on DC area FOX news at 5:30PM today
This Network covers Wash.,DC Maryland and Virginia
In a comparison of online dvd services
The DC metropolitan area FOX news did a report today at 5:30PM.
The report compared four of the online DVD rental services, namely Netflix, Blockbuster, Walmart and Gameznflix.
(in this order)
Netflix was said to have 30,000 tiles costing 17.99 a month
with a free trial period.
Blockbuster was said to have 30,000 titles costing $17.**and change (they quoted thier old price)
Walmart was said to have at 10,000 titles a monthly cost of 14.99 a month
Gameznflix was said to have 28,000 titles however it was pointed out that "Gameznflix also offers up to 1,500 Games" and we were noted for being "a few cents less" than Netflix and Blockbuster at $17.25.
Their point was to determine which of the services was the "Best Value".
After all was said and done the most important factor was noted as shipping and having become a member of all four services at the 3 DVD's out at a time level,FOXnews waited for their DVD's.
While Netflix, Blockbuster, and Walmart all have local distribution centers in the DC metropoliatn area in Gaitherberg Maryland, Gameznflix ships here from Tennesse. The result in their surveys showed the DVD's arriving in this area in 2 to 3 days from the other online services and taking 4 to 7 days from Gameznflix's Tennesse distribution center.
However they also noted that GAmeznflix said that they would be improving on their shipping outlets in the near future.
So overall they ranked Netflix and Blockbuster top in the market and equal in value. They also noted that the market will continue to grow in increasing competitiion as more competitors enter the market including Amazon.com.
Of course as a shareholder I was glad to see Gamenflix in the news today. At least we were mentioned with the other known "big boys" at this time and people in this area who saw it are now more aware that there is a service that provides games and movies even if it does take a couple more days to receive it at this time.
Keep in me that most schools and businesses have closed or closed early today because of the snow storm that's building here in the dc area today, so many more people than average could have seen this report while pinned to their tv's watching news imparticular looking for information on the progresion of the storm.
It was my local anchors. I'll watch the program in about 45 minutes 5:00PM Eastern time (Washington, DC metropolitan area).
FOX 5 news at 5:00PM today is doing a
special on online DVD services
Looking for the best value among online DVD services.
I'll let you know if they mention Gameznflix.
Oh OK
Could care less about Netflix critics . . .ism
I'm more interested in our GZFX advertising itself and what things we GZFX do well as opposed to what someone else doesn't do well
Great, Now even Gamefly is running television ads
on a regular basis.
Blockbuster Late-Fee Policy Raises Questions
Fri Feb 11, 9:06 PM ET
Add to My Yahoo! Movies - Reuters
By Jill Kipnis
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Blockbuster's new "no late fees" policy is billed as a way to satisfy those customers who rent movies or games but forget to return them on time.
But the policy's fine print is raising some potential customer-relations questions, industry executives say.
Though consumers now have an extended grace period to return films and games without extra fees at Blockbuster stores, they ultimately are charged the full retail price of the title (minus the initial rental fee) if they keep it for more than a month. The program, which launched Jan. 1, is now in effect at Blockbuster's more than 4,500 stores in the United States.
According to the Los Angeles Times, several state attorneys general are investigating the company's ad campaign.
Blockbuster corporate spokesman Randy Hargrove says the Dallas-based chain has "received inquiries" but would not disclose from whom. "Once we explain the policy, they seem to understand the details," he says.
Tom Kelley, spokesman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, says that no consumers have made any complaints to Abbott's office, but that "other attorneys general may be looking at this. I did see some e-mails from the national attorney general in Washington."
Calls to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer were not returned by press time.
The video rental and retail trade group Video Software Dealers Assn. believes the policy is beingunfairly targeted.
'NO FREE LUNCH'
"I don't think that any reasonable customer thinks that there ought to be a system whereby they walk into a video store, rent a new release for two days, walk off into the wild blue yonder, never return it, keep it in their library and never have to reimburse a video store for its intrinsic value," VSDA president Bo Andersen says. "Reasonable consumers know that there is no free lunch."
Blockbuster head of U.S. store operations Nick Shepherd says the policy was implemented because the No. 1 dissatisfaction for most renters is late fees.
The chain actually wants customers to return discs as early as possible, he says.
"I need them to bring it back so I can rent it to other people," he notes. "We still have due dates. One of the things we learned is that if you try to explain (the whole program) to the customer at the point of sale ... they aren't interested."
New releases can be rented for two days, catalog titles for seven. Games can be rented for seven days. If a customer keeps a title seven days beyond those deadlines, Shepherd says, they get reminder calls from the store. A card is then sent in the mail notifying them that the title is due back and that the customer will be charged the full price if they do not return it within 30 days.
For instance, if a customer checked out a seven-day rental Feb. 1 and kept it past the Feb. 8 due date, the store would call, then send a card saying that the customer has until Feb. 15 to return the movie or be charged for it. The customer then has another 30 days to return it and get most of their money back.
JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME
Shepherd says the store will charge "the lowest retail price when you rented it and refund the rental fee ... Because there are still some people who don't want to own it, you get 30 days to bring it back and we will charge a $1.25 restocking fee (above the rental fee). We don't want people to keep it if they don't want to. We just want to give them the convenience and flexibility of a bit more time."
Shepherd says that the chain has advertised the details of the policy extensively and that Blockbuster's "heaviest" training program was implemented to fill in store staff. Stores also have brochures for customers explaining the policy.
Understandably, rival rental operations are poking at Blockbuster's campaign. Online rental company Netflix, which pioneered a no-late fees policy, says that Blockbuster is reacting to consumers' high interest in alternative rental options without extra fees.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings calls Blockbuster's policy "a sign that we are really setting the agenda in the video rental business and they are reacting. It's not really 'no late fees.' It's the 'Blockbuster automatic purchase program."'
Independent brick-and-mortar stores are worried that their businesses could be affected.
"I'm not happy about it at all," says Patty Polinger, owner of Santa Monica, Calif., rental store Vidiots. "It's not good for the whole industry. I don't think customers will be happy when they find out the details about how it works. It could create bad will."

Blockbuster's on our website
BLockbuster.com has lodged a pop-up of their site to trigger when you enter the Gameznflix website.
Can we stop this or do the same to their website?

Tell you the truth I've checked CVS on a number of occassions in the DC area and they don't even know what Dermafresh is. They do however have extensive skin care and anti-wrinkle departments
Help with the webpage coming up???
I did that to me too when I first got on the site but when I logged in as a member and came back to it, everthing went smoothly. Perhaps it's a first day thing for all those who would be going to the site for the first time over all.
I would try again restarting your computer once.
That could help you.
Hope
I Like it I really like it!!!!
Hope
WOW!!!!!! The New Website is off the chain!!!!!

Submit your plan,
I think an on-line goame tournament sponsored by GzFx will be excellent promotion for the company.

Creates incredible worlwide attention particularly as website generated game.
