No offense but you're talking rubbish, Japan preview AFAIK is just being revamped, and I'll be doing the gap charts from this month onwards ... stop coming up with conspiracy theories.

But standard charts heve been deeply trimmed in the SW section, no more basic tools to sort them by platform, genre and publisher, just 40 titles per region instead of 200. Are those basic tools and lists sold as "pro" items now? Sorting the SW charts already gave a 30 titles list, wasn't it enough compared to the complete lists already unavailable to base subscribers and weren't there enough exclusive pro tools to make the pro subscription more powerful and appealing to professionals compared to the base one?

I've spoken to the source, Japan Preview is being revamped but it has nothing to do with VGC pro.  THere ya go.
