Yea, I got pretty frustrated with the support from Gamespot the other day due to the lack of it. Also the broken links just really rubbed me wrong. I canceled my pay membership due to the downloading and video streaming problems.
It's a shame cause Gamespot is my favorite game site. Oh well looks like I'm stuck with IGN. At least their videos actually play.
This has been going on for about 3 weeks.If I watch streams when not signed in to my subscribed account it works fine. when I sign in and go to watch something/anything it goes into buffering every 30 seconds or so. I was always impressed with the quality of the streams here did anything change? All other sites work well and my downloads here are even normal (600-1100KB/sec) I have a road runner connection, and I havent changed anything on my pc prior to this laggy situation. There was a link in the f.a.q. "read before you post" about this but it was dead:When you are signed into your account, do you have 700K streaming selected? You can tell by clikcing 'prefs' in the top right, and clicking the media tab in the popup.
Solution To Video Streaming
If you are having issues regarding video streaming, the problem is in the java applet that embedded the video. Check out what jay0012k3 has to say on how to resolve the problem.

I also have problems with the streaming of videos. My issues are the same as preston11 and I also have been experiencing these problems for 3 - 4 weeks.
I have tried everything but still the rebuffring continues every 10-20 seconds.
And obviously I'm just talking about the 700K streaming version. It been working perfectly for several years but now all of the sudden it's broken for us paying customers.
