Just a reminder on news submissions

I've gotten a few news submissions in our queue that are simply word-for-word text copies of other sites news. If you want to update us on some hot topics, simply send the URL from the original news to editor@2old2play.com and I'll either write something up or give it to one of our folks to write up.

We don't want to aggrigate news from other sites -  we want to spin the news towards our demographic. That means, you, the one submitting the news, are responsible for putting your own thoughts and creativeness into the announcement.

If 1up posts something about a price drop, or pricing announcement on a system/accessory, for example, I don't want THAT article. I want your article about the price drop, why you find it important, what you think it will do to the competitors and any predictions or reactions that you have (you can still quote the original sources)

If your simply trying to score a few points by pushing articles to us, it's not worth your time (or ours). You earn points for being creative and submitting "gamer content" not by telling us about a headline.

If it is bleeding edge news and you know we need it but you don't have the time or are too shy to write something up, point me at the article, I'll write up something and credit you at the bottom for finding the information. But you're not going to score any points unless you do some of the legwork and make our lives a bit easier :-)

Thanks!
