No it is not a new game from Bungie but another action for helping Japan:


On March 11th, 2011, just off the shores of Japan, a massive earthquake rocked the Pacific Ocean. Reports were unclear in the immediate aftermath and we watched, helplessly unable to act, as the tragedy unfolded before our eyes. The sheer magnitude of its force grew with each news report. The sheer impact of the destruction that followed was, and remains, incomprehensible.

But even amidst the confusion, the sense of disbelief, and of the ever mounting toll this disaster will have upon the people of Japan, much is clear to us. The people of Japan need our help. People need your help.

Now we act.

Right now you will find a charity wristband for sale in the Bungie Store. All proceeds from the sale of these wristbands will be donated directly to Red Cross aid and relief efforts that will desperately be needed in the days, weeks, and months ahead. In addition, we will donate all of the profits from all Bungie Store purchases until April 30th, 2011.




The characters embossed on the band hold many meanings in Japanese. “Ganbare Nippon” is a sentiment expressed when someone needs spirit lifted. It is a show of support and a call for unity. For us, it is a hopeful expression. Hope that our aid and support will find its way to heavy hearts, and that our community message will have a positive impact upon deserving people in their time of need. Hope that we too may come together, regardless of our differences and our location upon this earth, and unite ourselves to the benefit of all.

Help us spread this message. Copy this link into the communities you visit. Ask your family, friends, and those you game with to get involved in any way they can in support of Japan Quake Relief 2011. We cannot undo the damage that has been caused, but we are not helpless. We are united. And together, we will make a difference.


Details:   Price = 5$ (not including shipping costs)

Where to get?  =>  http://www.bungiestore.com/

For non-US residents:  Bungie made a Call to Amazon so all Non-US residents can order one aswell...Only it will take another few days before you finally can get it on the Amazon store...




Anyway this is what I call a nice action...  I gonna order 5 of them when Amazon fixed it for the non-US residents.

Is this an exclusive?

And in my thread, you were all for finding reasons why Japan doesn't need donations. Why the change of mind?

edit: as soon as Amazon gets them, I'm absolutely getting one.

They should do the heart thing for playing Halo Reach like they did last year with Haiti.

Because what is bolded is talking about the action and not where the money goes at the end...

See people like it when they can get something while donating money..  Their are probably 1.000 members on Bungie.net getting this while they were not even thinking of donating money..

I guess it is;..

It is popular..

Then it's not really a donation, is it?

Anyway, I'm exteremely happy with the Amazon results. Donation or not, the Japanese get the money, and as such, I'm adding this to my thread. Thank you LP.

No it is still a donation, When I saw the article on Bungie.net I thought it was a great action... And like someone else already stated Bungie always does something when an disaster happens.. loved or not by the community (Like Haiti..)..

It's a donation on Bungie's side, but not really from the one that gets the item.
