When it comes to videogame coverage where do you go? Websites like GameSpot or TV shows like G4 or GametrailerTV or Magazines like Gamepro or ECM? Which is best? Provides more accurate stories? Is more fair and balanced?

For me I love GameSpot. For one all of the host are actual gamers and not Comdians, actors or models doing this while waiting for their next gig like TV provides. I also find that magazines can't compete with rapid information that TV and Websites provide although TV waits for video before reporting most game stories. But who is more accurate? Magazines do research much longer before a story is published. Websites do like to report on rumors more. However, Websites do have that interactive abilities to find out what the gamers are thinking on various topics with forums, boards and chat rooms.

What do you think? Which of these choices do you go to for the hottest story or the most current news?

I read GI, check IGN, and watch GTTV whenever it's actually on and normal people aren't sleeping by then.

I've got to say Internet as the best form of Coverage. It includes information from both television, magazines, and some things you may only find on the internet.
