But the way they implement their press releases is just WEIRD. All the video
and hi-res pictures are zipped (and of course since the original file
formats are already compressed, they only get about 5 or 6% compression) so
you have to download the zip, unzip it, and then open the file you're trying
to get at.

Indeed...   I don't know if I'm alone here, but the zip files are
corrupted and won't decompress fully. I'm using a Mac, and LEGO hasn't
been very friendly to Mac-users in the past, so maybe everything's just
normal... <shrugs...>

Not only that, but once you click on the link to download the
file, the original web page goes away completely so you can't go back to
where you were!

Odd... on the Mac, the file just downloads itself... the webpage
doesn't go away...  =)
