I say that all of us buying HALO 2 if we just donated One Dollar besides the $50 were giving to Microsoft we ALL should give one dollar to a charity but Just one charity to make a huge impact, It would make national news like "A surprise mass donation of 40 million dollars arrives at the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION over night from millions of HALO 2 real life heroes".


This would be amazing and put a warm feeling in all our hearts playing hALO 2 is fun enough but knowing that we gave MILLIOns to a foundation thats helps people who are dying fullfill one last wish would PWN!. and put us one step up on Gods list. Hey maybe well get to be angels faster.


So on HALO 2 Tuesady give $1 dollar to the Make a Wish Foundation or we can all decide on a charity. Bungie can suggest one. Someone e-mail Frankie or Shishka


So I e-mailed the ESA as the charity Electronic Software Asscociation. (my email)

As you may know on Tuesday November 9th HALO 2 will launch it will be the single biggest entertainment event ever. I posted the idea of giving $1 dollar per gamer on the www.xbox.com HALo 2 forum and it met with unanimous approval among gamers. The game has well over 1.5 million pre-orders sold and many more millions to follow. At $1 dollar per gamer this could easily reach 4 million dollars with in seven days. Bungie the makers of the game and Microsoft stand to make hundreds of millions and well they should its a great game. But it would also warm all the gamers hearts and make national headlines as million of real life heroes pitch in to help. The ESA and its A Nite to Unite for Kids would definitely garner national praise and attention drawing in many more donations from others sources and prestige. In the end I do not represent either Microsoft or Bungie, I am just a simple gamer with a big heart and 1.5 million of my closest friends who are itching to do some good in life. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

And they responded.


Hi Alex,

My name is Jenny Lai and I am the Director of the Foundation and a huge Halo fan as well. My husband is the one who placed the link from our ebay auction on the forums and xbox live groups. I think you idea is truly inspired ! Let me discuss this internally to see how this might be done.

Thanks much for your email and I will be in touch soon.

Jenny

In the end all we need now is Microsoft/Bungie to agree I predict yes since this would be amazing PR, and garner amazing free Advertising. Our voices shall unite and be heard as one.

What an awesome idea. Do we have a link to something about it so we can spread the word?

I wonder if Bungie will post this up. I hope they do.

Once we get a link we should send it around to get as much attention as we can.

not a bad idea

cmon $1 is pocket change and not a big deal + the promotion of "Nice and Helpful Gamers" will give people world wide a better image that gamers r not just freaks in a basement looking at a tv all day...
hmmm sounds familiar... oh well


we got about 1 week so better get going ;)

Bungie... your fans demand a response... NOW!!!
oh and thx for halo and halo 2 im a big fan ;)

yes this $1 you speak of from every person who buys the game, bungie would get one hell of a fat christmas bonus with that, or for those of us that saw the video update, they could pimp out their "bungie ride"

and this would make up for the broken hearts of all the hard workers who lost some, when the butt-pirates got halo 2 leaked

I am in. I heard about this over at RVB. Maybe you should setup a poll to see what charity everyone thinks we should donate to. I doesn’t matter to me. I will donate to whatever if it's for a good cause. Relay for Life (cancer society) maybe. I don’t know, i just thought i would give some suggestions.

This is a really good idea and count me in.

The only problem is getting the word out to 1.5 million gamers in so short a time and hope that come Nov. 9th they hold true to their pledge.

A very good idea,a very good idea indeed!
Might I suggest WaterAid as a charity to donate to- a very good charity that dedicates itself to providing clean and safe water sources for third world people. A truly noble aim in my eyes- a third world child dies every 15 seconds due to bad water and sanitation, and 65% of infant deaths from diarrhoeal diseases, such as cholera, could be prevented if only they have a clean source of water!

Gamers... Donating...

Let's all donate to http://childsplaycharity.org/ !!!

It's for kids in hospital, and is run by Penny Arcade!

What better than a charity already set up for gamers to give money to needy causes? :-)
