True...True. But ya know, its a little hard being 17 without a credit card So basically I will slow down the bit*hiness of IGN. I can understand they are doing it for money a nd cuz this is the way websites will be run in 10 years, making everyone go into debt just to look at a few sites But I've got other sources like other people have said.

I really suggest you watch the press conference on Cube-Europe.

The only problem is, is that Cube-Europe is down at least until E3 is over

Add on(So I dont double post): I noticed on IGNPS2 that almost everything is unlocked and yet on IGNXBOX and IGNCube, I noticed almost everything is locked. Conspiracy I tell you, Conspiracy! (I only looked for the locks by the headline so correct me is I'm wrong)

IGNcube is IGN's biggest section, to my knowledge. So yes, they would lock more stuff. They also require more servers.

And it's usually media and exclusives that are locked. Media cause it uses mucho bandwidth, and exclusives cause you can get the news other places. I mean, IGN gets press releases and writes it in a less promotional, yet readable way.

Of course, if you guys worked on a website, and got contacts you wouldn't be complaining either. Like me, get all the press releases, and media from all the major companies, and some minor. So basically when IGN gets new screens and news, I have 90% of it without the IGN logo, and all the sweet-ass concept art they release that rarely gets put up. Not to mention box art and character art in sizes like 4000x3500. Basically too big to look at in all but 25% zoom. I save most of it, 3.5GB on Gamecube alone.

So in the end, there's multiple solutions for your problems. 1) Pay the price. 2) Get the news yourself. Takes work, but has benefits.
