kotaku.com — Microsoft is teaming with the Companions in Courage Foundation to deliver Xbox 360 kiosks to children's hospitals across the country, the company announced today. Each kiosk will include an Xbox 360 packed with select games, movies, television content and access to a private network that allows hospitalized children to play games and chat.

Yeah, because of course you could never donate both Xbox360s to children in America and money and supplies to other countries at the same time. That would be impossible for a multi-billion dollar corporation to do.And while we're at it, f**k PAX and Child's Play too for bringing a little joy into so many fortunate cancer ridden people's lives.

well he's probably right. do you think they would still do it if it never made it into the press? many corporations do this kind of thing. they'll probably end up selling more xbox's because people are all like "omg i love microsoft now". plus they get a tax break for donating to charity.

I wouldn't. Well, first off I'd have solid gold shoes, and a group of six armed men to guard my shoes. I'd probably be too busy with that to donate anything anywhere though... ah well, don't they say it's the thought that counts? I think my shoes are very shiny.

This is old news for Nintendo and Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation, who have placed more than 5,000 mobile gaming units called "Fun Centers" in more than 1,000 hospitals across America. The new units, rolling out right now, feature the Wii...and actually the Wii can be much more easily controlled with slight movements than regular joy sticks that require more dexterity, so these are great for kids in hospitals. They roll right up to the kids' beds so that it doesn't matter how sick the child is or even if they are in isolation. Pretty cool. www.starlight.org/funcenter
