Wow a lot of awesome upgrades are on their way. I just have a few questions.
Will the Vgchartz pro be a monthly or yearly type fee?
Have you decided on a price for Vgchartz pro yet?
And what is GamrTV like?

For Pro we are going to offer monthly and yearly options. The price is going to be fairly high, I'm not going to lie about that - it is really aimed at businesses who need full data access and I can't see many casual users forking out for it. We will still release various amounts of info, in sales articles and of course the running totals will be public for everyone to see. It is more about making it easier to compare and add up various types of data. For example, if I wanted to track Ubisoft $$ sales in the Americas from 2007 - 2010 on PS3 it would be pretty much impossible with what you have now and a standard account but for a Pro member there will be an easy tool to extract this kind of info. So we're not selling data, we are selling easier access and tools - tailored for industry needs. An investor doesn't care how one game compares to another or particularly about unit sales, he is more interested in $$ sales and at a company level, so Pro will have a different focus.
GamrTV is a video site - we want 3 sections: Originals (show coverage, reviews, previews, interviews), Trailers and User-submitted. We are currently working on some video hosting tech and trying to find the best option for us (hosting videos is a very costly area).
As for others asking about customisable homepages and bringing certain features back - yes, this is all going to be happening (but will take time and be bit by bit).

"... the return of a number of charting and comparison tools,..."
so can you provide any insight into which charting and comparision tools are going to be in the free version of the site?
...or put much more pointedly, will the ability to chart weekly and accumulated sales for each of the consoles by year or by aligned launches return for the freebie users? i really miss that feature.
