I can't view any of the videos on gamespot. It will allow me to watch an advertisement and then after that nothing happens. Anyone else having the same problem? Got any fixes?

I'm having the exact same issue. Ads work, videos don't. IE, Firefox, Chrome... matters not.

Make sure you have flash and your browser up-to-date. Then clear your temporary internet files. Sign-in and see if it works.

That seems to be the standard answer, but I've already done all that. Besides, it doesn't seem like it'd make sense that we can see the ads and not the content.

It's the standard answer because 75% of browser issues are related to clogged caches and out-of-date browser plug-ins. If you have cleared your cache, and updated your system, then it might be a site issue. Is there a particular ad that is doing it?

Nope, it's all of them all of the time. I take it back - they popped up one small video that was ad-free in their E3 coverage and it worked perfectly. It's definitely a site issue and it's happening during the transition from ad to content.
