Oui Oui , Rickspend ....just in Canada , eh hoser ...hahaha .
Here is an excerpt from C.C.'s 10QSB dated January 6th , 2006 .
The international segment is comprised of the operations of InterTAN, Inc. On May 12, 2004, the company acquired a controlling interest in InterTAN, Inc. and on May 19, 2004, completed its acquisition of 100 percent of the common stock of InterTAN for cash consideration of $259.3 million, which includes transaction costs and is net of cash acquired of $30.6 million. In addition to giving Circuit City a greater product-sourcing capability and the ability to accelerate the offering of private-label merchandise to its customers, the acquisition of InterTAN gave the company its first presence in the Canadian market. The international segment is primarily engaged in the business of selling both private-label and brand-name consumer electronics. The international segment's headquarters are located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, and it operates through retail stores and dealer outlets in Canada under the trade names THE SOURCE BY CIRCUIT CITYSM, RadioShack(R), Rogers Plus(R) and Battery Plus(R). At November 30, 2005, the international segment conducted business through 954 retail stores and dealer outlets, which consisted of 533 company-owned stores, 304 dealer outlets, 93 Rogers Plus(R) stores and 24 Battery Plus(R) stores. The international segment also operates a Web site at www.thesourcecc.ca.
I suppose anything is possible , Bbillybbass . I am convinced that C.C. will want to sit on GnF's board of directors to ensure ALL of GnF's corporate decisions are compatible with C.C.'s ; for example , to prevent GnF from selling out to a higher bidder or partnering with anyone else that could cause embarrassment or loss or even disgruntled customer lawsuits to C.C.
C.C. will demand scrupulous ethics and competent business practices from GnF .
From the treadmill of my wee mind .....
MartyMac....C.C. didn't get to be an industry leader by thinking small . Just look at C.C.s purchase / acquisition of over 900 Radio Shack stores / affiliates in Canada . They didn't buy a few stores .....they bought them ALL .
It is quite plausible that after the first few months with GnF that C.C. saw clear potential for essential diversity into movie and game rentals , just to keep pace with their major competitor Best Buy . It is then plausible that C.C. has used the last two months to provide the fledgling GnF with their expertise , including website development . C.C. would not suffer failure lightly , so if the partnership is a ' GO ' we can rest assured that GnF will be successful .
NetFlix has proven that renting movies is extremely profitable . With C.C.'s corporate sponsorship of GnF I'll guess that the big wigs at C.C. determine that they can make GnF into a viable competitor to NFLX , which increases C.C.'s own bottom line and ultimately their own market capitalization .
Your current business partner / former controller with C.C. would know how C.C.'s corporate H.Q. would think , so THANK YOU for revealing that " he thinks it's a likely scenario as well " .
Regards to you and your wife ....

Peeps : " tied-up " and " tie-up " have very positive implications , especially for a C.C. store in California which would not likely be in a pilot area if C.C. intended to just extend the pilot program .
I have bitten my tongue over the last few weeks , but every corpuscle in my scrawny body senses a full 600 C.C. store roll-out as expeditiously as can be implemented . My reasoning is simple ; when Circuit City announces a partnership with GameZnFlix on their newswires and website it is reasonable to believe that many C.C. customers around the entire U.S.A. would consider renting movies and games , and C.C. would want to ensure EQUAL opportunities for ALL of their customers , nation-wide .
The 2 month delay that seemed un-necessary for a controlled 50 store per month original roll-out and C.C.'s and GnF's lips that are quieter than Maxwell Smart's Cone of Silence are partly responsible for my thoughts on this matter .
GULP....I'll have mega oeuf ( egg , in french ) on my face if I am wrong , so PLEASE consider this as only one person's corpuscles twinging with ' what would I do if I was Schoonover ' ....and a full roll-out is exactly what I would do if I was CEO of C.C.
JROD : From a posted email scripted response from J.F. , he is in Florida " on business " , and he would not be replying to individual emails . I did not copy the post but I clearly remember it .
Co-incidence to the Florida C.C. stores carrying GnF ?
If so , it is one heck of a good co-incidence .
Tickimus watchimus is what the MM's count on . They really do have a captive audience on any high volume stock , and the MM's aren't dummies .....they know all about the anticipated C.C. news and they will play on emotions of greed until March 15th or whenever the C.C. news is known . They have fear as their back-up plan if the C.C. news is not what the market expects .
They will get their coveted HIGH volume one way or the other .
Thanks , SayHeyDave . John Fleming has stated categorically that he WILL evolve GZFX into a company that would be a standard bearer for the way the OTC " should be " . I will hold him to that promise .
I could never find verification from SINA on the CYOS publicized partnership , whereas Circuit City has released SEC Filings to their intended / propsed partnership with GnF .
It is those corroborating Circuit City SEC Filings that made the difference for me . That was 100 % PROOF that GnF was telling the truth ....a BIGGIE for me .
On the legitimate anticipation of a full-fledged Circuit City partnership with GnF , the announcement on Circuit City's newswires will attract many thousands of National Market investors who will buy GZFX shares in the mega millions , and IMO those deeper pocketted investors won't quibble over tenths or hundredths of a penny .....they will simply BUY in a fluury , and in penny increments .....as I see it .

OT : now ya gots me thinkin' .....Yosemite Sam would be the perfect Chairman of the new SEC . His signature message would be " I hates criminal varmints in the stock market , BLAM BLAM BLAM " .
Market Makers would be forthwith relegated to facilitating electronic trades ONLY .....real buyers , real sellers ,
real supply and demand of REAL shares.....NO MORE MANIPULATION to " create a LIQUID market " for a registrant security .
A listed company survives or fails on merit .
One law from Congress solves the insidious problem of MM manipulation INSTANTLY , IMO .
OT : Mimurray ...others : The recent Refco scandal demonstrates that the SEC should be decommissioned , not just for their egregious lack of supervision in the OTC / P.S. markets , but in the National Markets as well !!!! Unbelievable losses to ALL investors ....and there is strong evidence of major naked shorting / fail to locate selling by perpetratrors in Refco ( RFXCQ.PK ). **** Refco was an IPO in 2005 and was supposed to be under the microscopic scrutiny of the SEC . The SEC failed miserably !
I knew when REG SHO was released that the " grandfathering "
clause that allowed ALL prior naked short positions to be
technically forgiven that the SEC was in collusion with ALL entities that had engaged in counterfeit naked shorting . An estimated $3 to $5 TRILLION dollars of counterfeit naked share sales over many years that never had to be accounted for is cause for Congress to decommission the SEC , in my opinion .
I have studied this criminal epidemic in great detail .
Bugs Bunny would do a better job of protecting public investors , IMO .
OT : Dave Munday ....I am delighted to see you are on this board . I said it long ago , on another stock ....that you stand 10 feet tall in my eyes .
Are you invested in GZFX ?
Renee
Sentinel ...you encapsulated it all . EOM .
You are one funny guy , Beacon , when you're on a roll .
Sardonic wit with an active imagination . You could write
satire columns for newspapers and become famous .
Your gift with the pen is awesome .
This Greenland Carry the Torch satire rivals the ones on
Tobin Smith on the other board .....both suitable for writing awards .
Oh to have a wee peek into that mind of yours .
R .
I think the Market Makers had Forbidden Use of Carnal Knowledge with us today , or as Malcolm McDowell said in Clockwork Orange ...the old " in / out " with us .
MM's are gods who answer to NO-ONE . They deliberately and masterfully heightened the tension today to augment their liquidity direction next week ; ie , if no news they will play on FEAR ...or they will play on the powerful emotion of relief by taking the PPS up just enough to entice investors to sell out ....and if there is news they will play on the emotion of greed with a frenzied buying run .
The game is about liquidity .....LOTS of it . The MM's always win , no matter which direction they take a stock .
Public investors are expendable . MM's need believers as much as doubters , to fuel BOTH directions .
I'm holding for the expected news .
Trivia ? Yesterday I popped into a ( Circuit City ) SOURCE store
in Calgary , Alberta . For the heck of it I approached a middle-aged service rep to ask if he had heard of GameZnFlix . To my astonishment he had , but he was a bit googly-eyed and I think he wanted to say anything he thought I wanted to hear .
Anyway ....GameZnFlix is known in one C.C. Source store in Canada , FYI and FWIW .
Per your request , ' Listen_up ' :
RNAI . Company had their Conference Call yesterday . Check out their impressive 57 % Insitutional Ownership by the biggest names . DD every bit of info you can on this bio-technology .
It is my favorite stock and my largest holding .
JROD....to paraphrase Renee Zellwegger talking to Tom Cruise in the movie Jerry McGuire ...." you had me at your first post " .
You're rock solid in my book .
The other Renee .
Dart ....you are definitely appreciated , and we know you never use a dartboard in your calculations .....a skill thingy instead .
I learn from you ....and JROD ....and MartyMac ....and others .
To planet Pluto and to places no GZFX'er has been before ,
as quoted by Captain Stubbing ...or is that from Captain Kirk .....one of dem Captains .
You are an inspiration , a position shared by some darn tootin good participants on this board .
Rats ....gotta go to work . Have a good one today .
Renee
AcraziJo ....it may be time to rub something else , other than your eyes .
Did I just say that ......OMG .
We deserve this , and MORE .
Anasta ....exactly !! Now , because we know that a roll-out MUST be jointly released , imagine GZFX news on Circuit City newswires and the entire planet of BIG market investors
reading the news .
It is very possible that GZFX's PPS will rise in penny increments , not tenths or hundredths .
Just gotta think outside the box , the difference between the mentalities of National Market investors versus the penny-ante mentality of OTC investors .
Why settle for ' DA MOON ' when planet Pluto is possible .
Relevant comments from NFLX's CEO from the Bear Stearns Annual Media Conference : **** my own comments ...GnF is in a highly profitable industry , to which Circuit City SHOULD want to be involved .****
EXCERPTS :
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, also speaking at the conference, dismissed video-on-demand and Internet download services as worthy competitors, in part because of the limited selection of movies they offer.
He said Netflix, which pioneered the DVD-by-mail subscription model, will enjoy growth of 50% year-over-year for the next five years, beginning this year with projected earnings of $30 million-$35 million.
Sales and rentals of DVDs in the U.S. will grow from a $24 billion industry to $30 billion by decade's end, spurred by high-definition technologies, Hastings said.
Exactly , Nanopatent .....Seabiscuit won against all odds and all naysayers . That's why I chose my moniker .
Planet Earth must stop depleting our forests . PLNI is in the perfect industry with popular demand for wood ( steel as well ) alternatives .
The company will prosper , of that I have no doubt . Reasonably , I hope the shareholders prosper as well , as long term investors in PLNI's future ; but as I wrote in my previous post the MM's will run PLNI when material news is released , just because they can .
The Free Nebula has the best grasp for investors seizing opportunities to make money and still remain invested in PLNI's future .
To prosperity .....
Renee
It appears to me that PLNI's PPS is being controlled , I surmise by the MM's . When audit or other material news is released it is probable the MM's will run the PPS , influenced by the merits of the news but controlled by the MM's who run stocks just because they can . IMO the MM's are predictable , and they will run PLNI on any potent news .
Look at IBZT which is under further SEC investigation and their registration could likely be cancelled , yet the stock ran 165 % yesterday on NO news whatsoever , and hammered today . I can offer dozens of examples of orchestrated runs by Market Makers .....just because they can .
PLNI's turn at bat will come . It will be up to Turek to provide verifiable news to sustain any run , but the run will occur regardless ....in my opinion .
BluRay , HD-DVD , PlayStation , xBox 360 ....impressive offerings that will make GZFX a viable contender / competitor
in this extremely profitable sector .
I always appreciate your posts , Sentinel ....or , should I say XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX , LOL .
Astounding , hands-on DD , Hopeful1 . I have stopped biting my nails .
THANKS !!!!!
OT : Indooooobitably , BunnyWeezl . My 3 meany , goliath brothers used to call me runt and once in awhile a shrimp ...so , " prawns " should have been in my metaphor ....too funny .
One day I hope to break 100 pounds so I can beat them up ...hahaha .

Relevant DD : CNES down 58 % from todays highs on over 2 billion shares ....USXP down 25 % from todays highs on one billion shares . This is why no-one trusts the OTC markets ....monstrous manipulation despite good news for both those companies .
It is encumbent on John Fleming and Chip Gallent to provide
material , historical news that is bullet-proof and where C.C. and AAFES partnerships would provide phenomenal forward guidance just by the association with their two powerful names , and the strong implications of GROWTH earnings . A true growth stock should not have to experience the brutal PPS volatility like CNES & USXP are experiencing today .
It is up to J.F. and C.G. to make a difference , to enhance shareholder investment in GZFX . PROOF is the magic elixer .
Take a boo at USXP now , down ~ 25 % . I have written about MM's
selling counterfeit / fail to locate shares into runs , then under collusion amongst themselves they drop the PPS to induce panic in order to buy back the shares , pocketting the FREE money plus their commissions . Day three is typically the day for a sell off , in order for the MM's to be compliant with Regulation Sho ....plus the trained mindset of OTC investors that day three is sell-off day , which makes the sell-off a fulfilling prophecy . Market Makers are the MASTERS of the game .
They never lose .
J.F. has stated he intends on changing the way a stock on the OTC should perform . Verifiable news and corroborating PROOF in SEC Financials is the only way to sustain a PPS in the shark infested waters of the OTC . Otherwise , public investors in GZFX or any other OTC stock are merely pawns .
This why the BIG GUY gave us ten fingernails and 10 toenails ....
lots to chew on when anxiety is at its zenith , and clearly we have lots of anxiety .
Doris Day said it best ....que sera , sera ( what will be , will be ) .
Rebtevyah ....we are dependent upon J.F.'s commitment , integrity , and ability to transcend GamezNflix into a growth company . If he does , we win .
Wick ...I am nearly inept on computer / website stuff but I do fully understand SEC and contractual procedures . If the new website contains any references to C.C. or AAFES then IMO it cannot be released until those deals are finalized and are publicly announced before or simultaneous to the new website being accessible .
One girl's opinions only .
Unknown Factor ....in my limited knowledge of websites it seems logical to me that a new GZFX website would have C.C.
and AAFES protocols / credit card processes / links / etc .
That would mean the new website could not be presented until
one or both of those deals have been finalized .
The M.M.'s are capitalizing on the news draught , but IMO when we get news it will come in a flurry of successive and powerful news releases which will create a vortex of buying interest in GZFX . ( again , on the premise that AAFES and C.C. are still a GO )
GZFX before news = floundering PPS .
GZFX after news = a new stock ....hopefully a GROWTH stock and an ascending PPS commensurate to the news .
Time to stretch our minds . We know that ANY announcement about the proposed C.C. partnership must be a joint announcement .
That is crystal clear .
Imagine investors from around the world reading about the GZFX partnership on Circuit City's Newswires .
C.C. is $24.11 per share . GZFX is .0075 cents a share .
$10,000 would buy 416 C.C. shares for a hopeful return of 10 % to
20 % in a year .
$10,000 would buy 1 million GZFX shares at .01 for a hopeful return of 700 % to 1,300 % .....possibly higher .
$10,000 is pocket change to National Market investors .
Accepted , that our risk is a 50 % haircut if the C.C. deal is off , and a 20 % haircut if it is delayed again .
BUT ....if the C.C. partnership is a go then there will be enormous National Market interest in GZFX , as well as the penny-ante OTC players .
We could technically have the PERFECT STORM .
Eggszackly , LegalegalTX ...." our turn will come soon "
and those who are winning from the current runners will be flocking to the next big runner , and that should be GZFX .
GZFX's advantage will be National Market investors reading
a Circuit City announcement on the GZFX roll-out ( on the premise it occurs on or about March 15th as anticipated ) .
$10,000 to a National Market investor is peanuts . Now , add
thousands of National Market investors wanting a piece of a Circuit City partnership and voila ....MONSTER MOMENTUM .
Todays runners will look like snails compared to a C.C. announcement on GZFX .
The investors of CNES / IVOC / ADOT / USXP waited an eternity for news ( several years ) , and most long holders were down
major money . Those who were lucky enough to buy at the lows are winning , but many are just recovering their money . Well ....one could think that buying GZFX at .0075-ish is
also at the lows and is ready for news that will make all investors satisfied .
Our advantage is knowing that March 15th is D-Day / C.C.-Day .
GZFX should make USXP and the other runners look like turtles
if the C.C. partnership has a green light .
I agree , Olico ....coiled tightly . One breath of + news and
the PPS goes SPROING vertically , in a nano-second .
Remember ....Market Makers only care about liquidity . Market Makers do not care about fundamentals , unless positive or negative fundamentals increases their liquidity . The lack of GZFX news is perfect to induce fear / doubt , and their masterful walkdown each day seduces the players to believe that if they sell today then they can buy back cheaper tomorrow .
It is what they do , because they can .
Public investors are pawns and the MM's play on emotions , hype or fear ....doesn't matter as long as they have volume .
NetFlix proves that renting movies online is extremely profitable . It would be cause for concern if NFLX was struggling but every day they capture business from BlockBuster .
The trend is moving rapidly to online rentals .
GZFX is in the right industry , plus they have games , plus they are entering the satellite sector .
With the prominence and power of Circuit City it is inconceivable that GZFX could not or would not become a viable competitor in this very profitable sector ....and to repeat ,
proved beyond all doubt by the enormous success of NetFlix .
C.C. gains diversity with GnF and it is incomprehensible that they would not vigorously support GnF to ensure a successful partnership . C.C. has their reputation at stake .
Unless indicated otherwise , we have no reason to think the C.C.
partnership is off .
Yoloinvest ....you are truly amazing . I have liked you from your very first post on this thread . Beware .....I may fall in love if you keep this up ....( smile ) .
Superlative , hands on due diligence .
Re GZFX satellite link ...I am impressed ! Thank you . EOM
GZFX.od could also mean GZFX on dilithium . EOM
