Sony And Extra Life Team Up For Charity
Sony and charity organization Extra Life have today announced a new partnership that will offer a number of rewards for participants in the 2013 gaming marathon. Extra Life is an annual event that challenges gamers to team up, game for 24-hours, and raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Game Informer raised over $10,000 last year, and we'll be participating again on November 2. If you don't have a team, Sony has a way for you to participate and get some excellent goodies for fundraising.
By signing up and joining the PlayStation "movement," you'll automatically get an exclusive Extra Life PS3 theme. Additional benefits for higher fundraising levels are as follows:
- $10 - A 30-day PlayStation Plus voucher (first 50,000)
- $25 - A digital copy of When Vikings Attack
- $50 - A digital copy of Wipeout HD (PS3)
- $75 - A digital copy of LittleBigPlanet (Vita)
Additionally, the participant that raises the most through November 3 at 8 am Pacific will win a slate of PS4 games including Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Driveclub. That person will also get a one-year PlayStation Plus membership and one year of Music Unlimited.
For more on Extra Life, visit the organization's website and join us on November 2.
Our Take
Extra Life isn't just a great cause, but it's a lot of fun. While I imagine the staff participating in the Minnesota office will be playing together, I can attest that it's just as enjoyable camping out in front of the television by yourself (which is how I'll be celebrating). Sign up and do some good.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
