So therefore whilst if someone slipped into their own limbo, they would have no means to kill themselves as it was nothingness, in Cobb's constructed limbo they had the means to kill themselves? This would make sense as Saito and Cobb had shared a construction of Saito's office at the beginning.

Amazing film, the graphics were absolutely breathtaking.
This seems like the only plausible answer, and I really have no issues with it except that it just wasnt really made clear at all. But yes, Saito and the mark could have both been essentially in purgatory until Cobb went down into limbo, bringing along with him his preconstructed limbo.

One other issue that comes up.. if Saito died in the snow level only minutes before Cobb and the girl went down into limbo, how is it that Saito aged so much in comparison to Cobb/the mark? Or did I not notice that Cobb was also aged by the time he made it to Saito's limbo stronghold?
