I think you'll find that LA Noire will win the crown on GOTY... ;)

Yes... well, The Gamespot Wide Forum is lableled "Discussion". I'm not looking to discuss gamespotWide, though I guess you're referring to the new layout here, and the name it's been given. Nay, I posted here in the Technical Support/Customer Service Issues only area for two reasons:

1. I don't care to make the determination that my problem is specific to GamespotWide. That's not my job. I don't work at Gamespot. I pay them. They don't pay me. That's someone else's issue. I need tech support, and that's what this forum is for. It's not the paying customer's responsibility to "QA Test" the live site, is it? If I had a choice between GamespotWide, and regular Gamespot, perhaps I would see your point. However, I don't have that choice... I get www.gamespot.com. Wide, Narrow, skinny, or fat. That's the only choice I have...

2. The GamespotWide forum doesn't allow screenshots. This one does.

I'm looking for a solution here, not some clever "you need to post in **other obscure location**" comment. But thank you, I might have to give that a shot if the WEBSITE/CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES forum ignores my poorly placed topic.

The download manager has not been available to download for at least 2 days now. Any chance someone can post a link to the installer?

The public link that is all over the site is this one:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/misc/downloadmanager/index.php (which is UNDER CONSTRUCTION, apparently)

The error on this page suggests that it is a beta page, and that in order to resolve the problem, you should edit URL so that you are going to the www.gamespot site versuse the beta.gamespot site. Well, as you can see above, the URL is WWW, not beta, so this workaround does not work.

Can someone at GS please just post a link that works to the DLM. I can't imagine why this has been unresolved for so long. The DLM is one of the PRIMARY reasons why I pay you for membership. If it's not available, it should be a priority to get it back up.

Here, you see what happens when you use a link that attempts to launch the DLM:

And the More Info link brings you here:

Please guys... this should be one of the top priorities. It makes you look bad... and I don't mean to be a jerk, but I have once again remind you that I'm paying YOU for your service, NOT Fileplanet.
