http://ps2.gamezone.com/news/10_26_07_01_47PM.htm Nice job Sony. Although its nowhere near what Bill Gates donates yearly to charity, its a gesture of niceness... *waits for fanboys to spin this story making Sony seem desperate*

True its no where near how much Bill Gates donates but thats out of his pocket and if this was a collaborative effort between employees over at Sony then they really did a good job.

A nice gesture, and will actually put out some good publicity out there (as opposed to Sony's past stunts).

That was a good gesture but if we think about it the F@H project is donateing several times the amount of help to mankind than the total worth of just about any major company already.

if they donated the PS3 and Lair that would probably kill a few patients with heart problems. Or PS2 and Manhunt would traumatize kids . Anyway Sony did an evil deed once again !!!!

PS : If you didn't notice sarcasm you suck.

That's very cool. Every act of charity should be applauded. It doesn't matter how much Bill Gates gives in this case. They're all doing something to help everyone.

They had to do something to get rid of some PS3s. You can bet your bottom dollar that they will count those as sales.

dude bill gate donates so much, it's like paying of the government to ignore his clearly stealing products from other companies, and realeasing faulty products.

Grow up. It's called charity and it's a good thing no matter what company does it.

that's nice though it's actually cheap for the publicity. 25k and consoles is nothing for sony or any of these companies.

Thats great and I applaud Sony for it. But what those kids and families need are housing not PS3s. I would have really like to have seen Sony donate to a building fun or something because New Orleans and that entire region of the country is still in a mess and the government isn't doing much of anything and when they are it goes through months and months of red tape. Its been two years and people are STILL living in trailers. Then you got the insurance companies who don't want to give anybody their one penny because of technicalities like "well it was the flood that destroyed your house not the hurricane you are not covered sorry" or vice versa. Good gesture and it was ment well I'm sure but I would have liked to have seen those resources spent elsewhere.

They donated to a hospital in New Orleans, I'm pretty sure they needed all the help they could get.

Oh noes! It's Sony's devious plot to create an army of Sony fanboys while they're young! =P

Just in case, that's sarcasm there, which some of you people seem unable to detect today.
