That's all well and good if you have a URL to the news item, what if I want to submit news to an item that isn't covered on the internet, like the new clothing pack that is available for Saints Row for example. 8)7
Oh yeah, while I think about it, there is a new Clothing Pack called...
Exclusive Unkut Pack.
Unkut clothes designed by BOOBA: T-shirts, Trousers, Jackets, Polo shirts and Baseball caps. :P
Cost is free...

Ever thought about changing your "submit news" options, to include no URL.
Laziness, pure laziness.

I'll tell our lovely site admin that you think he's lazy and about the no url thing.

Yes I did think of that :)
However, that would lead to lots of people submitting unsourced and in general crap news. Simply put, if you can't source it, we can't either, making the submit rather pointless because we don't post news for which we don't have a reliable source. In the extremely rare cases that an unsourced submit comes in handy, make up a fake url :)
Simply writing a post to state that an update is out is rather pointless too: everyone will see it when they connect. When we know what is updated, we'll post since that's useful information :)

Major Nelson has spoken:
Earlier today the team pushed out a dashboard update over Xbox Live. There is nothing major in this one, it just addresses a few performance and stability issues.

Microsoft is taking over the world. This update, phase 1.
Windows.
Zunes.
360s + Movies + IPTV
Does Microsoft have a phone? They will by Chritsmas, 2008, guaranteed.
I expect an 'urban' line of Microsoft clothing soon. Food. The ability to order pizza / chinese / delivery via XBLM and Microsoft Points.
I see the EU abandoning the Euro and America abandoning the Dollar, Microsoft Points will be a worldwide currency.

Ok i will keep it to myself next time then, so much for trying to help people out 8)7

AugustusBot, I know you are joking, but I am not. Microsoft will eventually become a major dominant force, especially if you have seen the MS home. That place is just creepily weird, but so fucking coool
