Hi there

I have one quick question.
Why don't you let us stream the videos just like they do at IGN? It allows us to see the videos, without taking up any bandwidth.
Because right now I have my eye on those Illuminations videos. And I can't subscribe because I don't use PayPal.

Hi there. Streaming videos uses just as much bandwidth as downloading a video clip. Bandwidth is a term which describes the amount of data that is transferred from the web server to your pc. If you consider a 10minute video (100MB), it doesnt make any difference if that video is download to your PC first, and then played, or if it is streamed live. Ultimately the same amount of data (bandwidth) is transferred from the web server to your PC. Hope that answers your questions.

also, bandwidth is expensive, and this is a privately run site, not like IGN which has quite a bit of corporate sponsorship that pays its bandwidth bills.
