I thinks only full movie should be eligible for video of the day...
How many times you saw a nice trailer....and the full movie isn't what you expect?? (in game movie or in cinema).
For me...trailer is a part of the final work...so I think only the final work(full movies) should be eligible for the video of the day.

agree with you...but for me...it is a part of the final work...it's like a "beta" version.

No, it should not be. Get your priorities straight. A trailer is simply not a movie. It's a preview and it shouldn't be treated as full version movies. So no and it should stay that way. If you want a "Trailer of the Day", then by all means do that.

Agree. Trailers are just supposed to show us what to expect, so only the full movies should be eligible as votd.

Alcohol is the answer, but I can't remember the question!

No. Even though there are some pretty nice trailers out there, they shouldn't count towards the video of the day award. If anything you could have special area just for trailers, like a "Most Downloaded Trailer" or whatever.

Simple, its called Video of the day for a reason. I'd like it better If there was section for trailers of the (whatever time period you want) thing.

hell no

trailers should not even come on the site
why pretending ur making a movie like in the 'real world'
trailers are meant (in real world) as a commercial

commercials in gaming movies, and make them movie of the day ?!
u out of ur mind?

trailers mostly only show best parts of the full movie, most times trailers are better than full movie :( sad...

some ppl say it gives u an idea of what u will see in the full movie, but that isnt true imo

No. Trailers can be great but they are not a real movie and it is easier to make a good trailer than a complete movie...

i voted yes. sometimes there are trailers which show you things which you've never seen before. they can be a piece of art by themselves. ex: r3 trailer by smireboule, now something like that deserves to be 'video of the day' for the sheer amount of work put into it.

i really would hate that. Trailers take half the time and effort of full movies, post about trailers on the front page but a video of the day should be the entire thing.

If a trailer is good enough to earn some favourites, then yes it should. Argueing that trailers require less effort to me seems silly, because people have decided that the trailer has the sufficeint amount of content, editing and overall quality to be a favourite.

I would have never seen (is this the correct tense? O_o) the trailer to a never released tj-movie from mrks, if it wouldn't have showed up in the votd-window. DARN it, i forgot the name of it :| - anyways, one of my absolute all-time-favorites, so I voted a "Yes, ffsbbq!".
