Why did you upgrade?

Why did all of you peoples upgrade to Gamespot Total Access?

For me, I wanted the HD Videos and better event coverage. Namely E3. Because my main source for big gaming event coverage was G4TV, but now that they are leaning away from games, I thought I could use Gamespot.

because at the time it was only $20, and now i just keep it for the hell of it.tj78714

for me, it is the speed/quality of the videos mostly of course the coverage, betas, ads etc as well

edit: why is my username not coloured? nevermind, seems to fix itself after soome time

I decided to treat myself to something. :DSharvie

I really really really needed a decent, reliable, and fast download server for some patches for work. EA sites are rediculously slow. Luckily, I had $40, it was about 2AM so it was pretty much a "Whatever" decision. Yay for a year subscription to "Wired". I think that's about the only decent magazine offered. :(

We Brits don't even get any magazines offered to us so count yourself lucky. :P

For the live E3 2006 coverage.Funereal

 just kidding, i got it for christmas, and since i'm a spoiled brat, i got it with the super OLED 102 inch HDTV  1620p tv, 1500wat 12.2 surround system and ps4

E3 2006 live coverage. It was only $20 back then.

 $40 now? I'm undecided as to whether or not I should renew, because E3 is no longer going to be what it was, starting with 2007.

Me, I upgraded because I really like the GameSpot website and I wanted to support it. I don't click ads (because 99% of them I'm not interested in) so the next best thing was to pay the subscription. All that other stuff is just a bonus really because at the time when I first subscribed, I still had my FilePlanet subscription going so I didn't need the download perks. :)

I upgraded to get the E3 goods last year, and just never unsubscribed. It's nice to have video's in high res. Although if GS isn't going to be offering anything along the lines of the E3 thing like last year, I dunno if I'll continue my subscription much longer. It seems like there aren't as many benifits as there used to be.metroid_dragon

Can't really blame Gamespot for E3 downgrading. I don't doubt they'll get as good a coverage of the event as they can though. 

The only cool people are obviously - the subscribers. I'm Cool.

I'm currently a Plus subscriber for the high-res videos, and alternate themes mainly. And the ability to change the name color.

For those with Total Access, does that get rid of the full page ads off to the side on the main page, too?
