thanks for the reply.
one more quick question... (in case i'm missing something)
in order to get the actual video url it seems like you need to follow a couple of urls. for example:
1) follow first url (from videos.html) to get pid/sid.
2) follow popup url to get url value from param tag.
3) follow url value to get last ref tag value url.
4) play video from ref tag value.
as i mentioned above, it seems like you must load three urls before you can get the real link to the video file. maybe this is the only way to do it, but it creates an awfully big delay when trying to play videos...
is there some sort of shortcut you can take?
edit: i'm not sure if this will help you out, but here are the cookies gamespot is sending:
