Microsoft Donates Xbox, PlayStation and GBA consoles to Charity-- Posted by XanTium on December 4 11:37 EST
From GamePlanet:

The Get-Well Gamers Foundation, a California-based public charity dedicated to bringing electronic entertainment to children in healthcare facilities, has announced a major donation from Microsoft that will enable it to pursue its mission of giving this holiday season.
The donation consists of hundreds of popular video games, games consoles and equipment. All platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation and Game Boy Advance, are represented along with a wide variety of game genres, from sports and adventure to racing and fantasy role-playing games. Controllers, documentation and other accessories are also available and, as with the rest of the donation, will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

"The breadth of what Microsoft has given us is astounding," said Ryan Sharpe, President of Get-Well Gamers. "There's truly something here for children of every age level. My only hope is that enough healthcare facilities step forward in time for the holidays."

It's excellent PR and seems very appropriate in health care facilities. I think Nintendo should match MS with game cubes etc. That may have been what MS was intending (to lure them out).

Hey Dudes. Wonder why MS gives away psx and gba?
They probably actually CARE about the kids. They care so much to give them a choice.

Nahh, must be some other reason...
