There was an earthquake in Sichuan recently -- a pretty bad one. Corporations and individual people have been taking care of donations, including Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong. They have put together some eBay auctions for autographed PlayStation paraphernalia. All proceeds go to World Vision Hong Kong.SiliconEra has put together a listing for the items and some of them are still without bids! The only problem is you have to be physically present in Hong Kong to claim these prizes. So if you want some pre-paid PlayStation Network cards signed by some pretty famous Sony folk, or a model, a singer, or an actress, go for it. It's for a good cause, but since it forces you to be in Hong Kong, it's a bit difficult to be the good Samaritan.

They could easily get a lot more/higher bids if they allowed these to go worldwide. I mean, it is real easy to ship these to SCEA or SCEE or SCEJ with their other normal office shipments then the particular HQ could mail it from there. I mean, I doubt most people wouldn't mind waiting a few weeks for their item.
The US is known for their charitable givings. We do give more than most.

According to my google image search, that's "Angelababy", the model in question.

I'm entirely against donating money to china. A country that prosperous shouldn't take advanage of the situation. They have enough money to take care of themselves.

huh? as far as I know they haven't asked for any help, but then again, help has more meaning when it isn't asked for....
and for the record massive_98, this has nothing to do with their global power but as giving a hand to those that need it

Dude, you totally need a small glass of perspective.
China's got a gross domestic product of about $7 trillion. That's half what the United States has, but with four times the people (or more - accurate census data being understandably hard to come by). That equates to China having less GDP per capita than El Salvador. Less than Albania. HALF Serbia's.
And five million people made suddenly homeless is not an easy task for any country to cope with.

@ #4
government and its people are two separate entities
if the money goes to help the people when the government is not you are still against this?

Right, everyone generally flocks to China to make a living rather than U.S.

"There was an earthquake in Sichuan recently -- a pretty bad one."
It killed 34,000 people and left five million people homeless. Yeah, that's a pretty bad one.
