I think jojo makes some excellent points about how the time and money invested would be flat stupid if it wasn't meant to involve us in something. I for one am not going to get stuck on some narrow self-assured idea of what an ARG has to be, because that sort of stodgy thinking is how people get left behind in an ever evolving medium like entertainment and the internet.
(Let's look back a second: 'People will never have computers in their homes', 'Full time, high bandwidth internet connections will never be affordable enough for home users')

What you can count on is things that still work, and have for a long time in storytelling. You are given pieces of the puzzle, bits of the story, which all come together in some way in the end. Most truly great storytellers in a genre such as this make you very familiar with the pieces and you are led to how they fit together in a slow and meticulous way, until suddenly the finished product leaps out at you and rewards you with that exciting understanding of it all. We have been shown some key pieces, and are slowly being fed info via MySpace posts and small updates to the Slusho site that are walking us around those shapes to see how they might fit with others. Considering what we can gather of the short timespan represented in the movie, I am guessing it'll be a very fast paced revelation of how our pieces fit together.
I look forward to having my breath taken away.
If it's not, then I'm going to think JJ is a jerk.

Yeah, I've been lurking around forums like these, hoping someone else would turn up the clue that turned it around, trying to decipher slusho.jp etc. etc.

My conclusion is that this is like the show Lost, it grabs everyone's attention with tidbits of info hinting at a bigger picture, but it never pays off. This time instead of keeping us guessing on a tv show, it's the same thing but on the internet. I think we'll get more clues but no real ARG.
