Yeah Sony is great. I heard there developing some sort of virus that can cure illnesses and such, at least thats what they say. There also considering changing there name to 'Umbrella' now if thats not kid friendly I dont know what is. They called me in to test the chemical, the lab is in Racoon City or something (about an hour drive), wish me luck!

Yes, because we all know they didn't do it for a tax write off or good PR but solely because they're such good people.

That's right Sony, hook them while they are young! Mwaha, Mwahah, MWAHAHAHAHAHHA!

But seriously, good stuff.

Oh sure, they donated consoles to sick children, but because they want to improve their brand name too, their actions are immediately selfish.

i still think sony is evil!! and poison the minds of innocent nintendo fans!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! j/k

Thats excellent. It's always a good thing to help the kids in NO area.

but imo that is kinda a weak donation made by sony.

The fact that they are advertising so heavily in New Orleans is beneficial to both Sony and the city. Few business actions (if any) are completely selfless, remember that. There's nothing wrong with Sony wanting good publicity, and what better way to do it than help people?

@tabsina

wow i cant believe somebody really thought they were painting stuff with the PS logo !!! that was a good laugh

Sony is all about the kids.... eh? Did I miss something? Sony never claims that they were doing some games for kids....

Charity acts like that on the behalf of console makers aren't exactly anything new, of course. Companies have been doing that sort of thing for years. Even Nintendo's done something very like it recently, in donating a whole boatload of DS and Wii systems and games to Child's Play, for example. And Sony has made such donations to childrens' hospitals and other similar organizations in years past as well. Microsoft is known for charity contributions as well, usually at the upper levels of the company more than from specific divisions.

Still, it is nice to see that Sony's PR department is trying to do something to improve the company's image. With all the negative PR they've gotten in the last two years, every little bit helps...
