Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves
Lately, the Bungie.net community in general has been looking for ways to improve the community. Having the day off from work, I decided to do a little cleaning and came across my dust covered Xbox. I still have it because I insist that one day I will eventually hook it back up for nostalgia's sake. So I start to think, surely there is someone out there who would want it and enjoy having it. And so an idea is born.
My proposal to the Bungie.net community is this. Many of us have old consoles, controllers, games etc that we will most likely never use again, why not get it all together and donate to those who don't have the means to get one themselves? I was thinking Toys for Tots, but they only accept new toys. Does anyone know of an organization out there that we could use for this purpose?
Hopefully, we can get somebody at Bungie to at least collect all of our donations in a central location so we can make a single mass donation on behalf of the Bungie.net community. I would collect it myself, but I think it would be much more successful if Bungie did it. That way people arent sending off thier old xbox to some random internet guy who might just be running up to his local Gamestop for trade-in money.
The only thing I ask is that all equipment and games be in working condition and free of any modified content.
Im posting this now since it should take a little time to send/collect/donate everything. I've never really attempted anything like this so I would definitely appreciate any help that the community can offer. We came together to Fight the Flood, I think we should be able to do this. I just think its better to put a smile on someone's face than it is to get $3 trade-in for your copy of Fusion Frenzy.
Due to shipping costs, I think this will mainly be a North American cause, but I invite those members who are elsewhere to try something similar wherever they may be.
Who knows, maybe Bungie can even throw in some of those old copies of Halo 2 they have lying around?
Just a thought, let me know what everyone thinks.
