Since the site update every video I attempt to watch freezes several times (seems to be a buffering issue). The funny thing is that on the old site the videos would load and play all the way through with no problems at all (even at HD level).

Is Gamespot using a new video player that is causing these problems?

My system is connected to the internet via ethernet cable, with no problem in download/upload speeds and I'm using Chrome as my main browser (did a test in Firefox and still the same issue).

As a result I now watch all the Gamespot videos on their Youtube channel (which has no problems!)
