I appreciate the feedback however it all comes to down to a few things. Time, manpower and resources.

I agree with you regarding gamespot and their video content, however they have a huge team of people solely dedicated to game reviews, we basically have one (great) reviewer. So for him to start doing video or audio reviews right now would actually mean we would probably have to cut our content by a third. We do however try to add videos to them were possible showing gameplay or a game overview to add a little to the text based content.

As you said hardware reviews are somewhat different, if you look at predominately gaming review sites like gamespot you will see their hardware reviews are very very brief and are basically an intro, a few results and a conclusion, normally all on one page. To do a video review of a hardware product (while sounding cool), rarely works, as you can never get the same detail or analysis into them.
