:::Just my opinion, but in my own opinion the videos should not be added to the pages. The video of Playboy X shows absolutely nothing that can not be described, contributes nothing to the article and the only purpose of the videos inclusion is for more advertising money. I would have reverted JoePlay's edit immediately, had I not read this here first.

(outdent) I'm willing to keep an open mind about it, but how does this video improve this article? An edit that does not improve the article is usually reverted... like A-Dust, upon seeing this edit I would have watched the video to check for anything that wasn't in the article or the official trailers (which we ''do'' have on the site), and removed the video from the page, if I hadn't seen this conversation first. --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 00:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC) | (outdent) I'm willing to keep an open mind about it, but how does this video improve this article?

:Fair enough. I'm just cautious that we don't act like Wikipedia and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability tear down] pages and edits that any admin simply doesn't like much. Do we lose anything by having them there? Is there a chance that a visitor might benefit from that video? Is the video more concise, easier to access, or more attractive to people than the text it supplements? Or does the 20-second waiting time make it useless?

:::I don't see what it adds to the article, but like I said, I have an open mind about it. I have a few questions for ''JoePlay'', though; How many pages are we talking about? Also, how is the decision being made, and who is making it, as far as which pages will get which videos? | :::I don't see what it adds to the article, but like I said, I have an open mind about it.

:::As an aside, I hit play and it froze 4 seconds into it. I restarted it and it froze 8 seconds into it. Did this all the way through the video. After that it played through fine. --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 01:37, 28 January 2009 (UTC) | :::As an aside, I hit play and it froze 4 seconds into it.
