Bungie is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bungie.net\/News\/content.aspx?type=topnews&amp;link=BeAHero\" >offering<\/a> to donate as much as $77,000 to the Haiti relief fund if enough players hop online and play either <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/gameOverview?cId=3144308\" title=\"Halo 3\">Halo 3<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/gameOverview?cId=3169382\" title=\"Halo 3 ODST\">ODST<\/a> on Wednesday or Thursday  while using a special icon. More specifically, for every 1,000 people who play online during the period from 12:01AM PST on Wednesday until 11:59PM PST on Thursday, Bungie will donate $100 to the American Red Cross for Haiti relief fund. In other words, 770,000 people will need to play &#8212; certainly not impossible for a game like Halo.<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, any and all profits that Bungie sees from Bungie apparel and accessories sold on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bungiestore.com\/\" >Bungie Store<\/a> between now and the end of February will also be donated to the relief effort (with the exception of items like Xbox 360 games, HDTVs, and other items Bungie doesn&#8217;t see a profit on). There&#8217;s even a specially designed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bungiestore.com\/category\/38961761361\/1\/Be-a-Hero.htm\" >Superintendent t-shirt<\/a> (pictured above) for $20 that is now available on the store.<\/p>\n<p>\nKeep in mind, you&#8217;ll need to use a special emblem in order for your Halo 3 or ODST play session to count towards the relief fund. The directions for applying the emblem are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Edit your appearance settings so your character is wearing the RED HEART emblem.<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Press START<\/p>\n<li>Select &#8220;SETTINGS&#8221; \/ &#8220;APPEARANCE&#8221;\n<li>Select &#8220;EMBLEM&#8221;\n<li>Select &#8220;Hearts&#8221; ICON, &#8220;Circle&#8221; BACKGROUND\n<li>Back out to the APPEARANCES menu and select &#8220;COLORS&#8221;\n<li>Set &#8220;EMBLEM PRIMARY&#8221; to RED (or MAROON \/ BRICK \/ ROSE depending on which game you&#8217;re playing!)\n<li>Set &#8220;EMBLEM SECONDARY&#8221; to WHITE<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So do your part and play some Halo this week. It&#8217;s not asking much of you and goes towards a very worthy cause. <\/p>\n<p><!--End feature--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IR65NgFitakRmoI9CptsDBycQts\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/4bfe2_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IR65NgFitakRmoI9CptsDBycQts\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/fad47_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=ptmYmKEHby0:nv-qDUb5mpE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/0d6d4_content?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=ptmYmKEHby0:nv-qDUb5mpE:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/0d6d4_content?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/1up\/ALLXbox360\/content?a=ptmYmKEHby0:nv-qDUb5mpE:2mJPEYqXBVI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/0d6d4_content?d=2mJPEYqXBVI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/do\/newsStory?cId=3177650\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have seen a mention of this over the weekend, but it&#8217;s something that bears repeating.
