I don't have any problem with gamespot video, but somehow all ign video loads too slow..I have to buffer every single minute.
Is this just for me?

Maybe your download sucks?
 
I noticed that too. Problem solved by watching the exact same video on
Youtube.
 
IGNs video are of better quality to begin with so its understandable that it takes time to buffer.

Well my internet is fast. Download speed is 1mbps... But maybe location is the problem, right? Right now I am in Asia. I'll try when I go back to my home in US if it streams slow too there.

1MB isn't very fast....

Oh my mistake.. I thought 10000kb=1mb...(stupid)
But still, isn't 1mb fast enough?
If I download a file from really slow slow site then it's around 700kbps.
Average 4mbps...
But where I download Divx movies has fastest speed which is usually 9500kbps.

8 bits = 1 byte
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabyte = 1 gigabyte

ADSL speeds are measured in kilobits not kilobytes.

1024 kilobits per second = 128 kilobytes per second

I know

8 bits = 1 byte
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabyte = 1 gigabyte

but I didn't knew they were measured in kilobits..
But my internet is VDSL, not ADSL
