I don't mind the people of Gamespot advertising movies & stuff on their website, but can you not have the Gamespot homepage auto-playing trailers (video clips) on almost every time users enter it? Some users including me may reach their download limits on some days each month & may have their download speed capped or 'shaped' to a VERY low speed. And having the Gamespot Homepage to auto-play trailers while some users are capped may result to lagging performance and sometimes even erroneous affect (eg: browser not responding) upon entering the Gamespot website. Please look into that.

Website like gamespot generate most of their revenue from advertisement and i don't think they are going to remove or stop playing ads. i will suggest you to use adblocker (for firefox use adblock plus) and because i don't see any ad, i don't have any idea about particular video ads. on the other hand if you see any link that says "ad feedback" use that to send your feedback on that ad.
