Extra Life Update Just wanted to update you to let you know that the current total for Extra Life is now approaching the 4million mark (it will be the most raised since Extra-Life started). We raised an astonishing $71,154 (and counting!) for the kids at The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! And a Extra-Life sized extra thank you to Sue Silenzi, Ana Bean, Stephanie Marie, and Mr/Ms/MrsEnigma for your sponsorships. But, the fight is not over for this year. This year has certainly seen its ups and downs. From multiple DDoS attacks against the site to a movie-worthy rally by gamers who waited patiently for the site to come back up, things sure havent been boring. Because of said DDoS attacks, Extra Life is accepting donations until Dec. 31st. So, for those who didnt donate and wanted to, or for those that did and want to donate again, I will be raising the ceiling of my donations page. Also, this was recently updated via Extra-Life blog... Update: Based on feedback I recieved on this post on facebook, Ive revised it to provide more detail on the origin of these awesome codes. Remember back in school when officials would foolishly hand hundreds of kids big boxes of candy bars and send them home to sell them? Me too. Yeah my parents bought a lot of chocolate that I lost on the bus. Well, our friends at PlayStation have pitched in some digital sweetness that you can use to help boost your Extra Life total for 2013 without any temptation to keep it all for yourself! Background: Earlier this year, PlayStation launched an incentive campaign amongst its own community members aimed at enlisting them in Extra Life, and in raising money for their local hospital. Ultimately, when this effort ended, several thousand codes were left over. When approached as to whether we could use those remaining codes for this purpose, our friends at PlayStation said of course. As of right now, you’ll find a new giving level has been added to your personal donation page and the general donation page for Extra Life. By choosing the PlayStation Greatness giving level and making the corresponding $20 donation to the hospital of your choice, you’ll receive a 5-code bundle including: LittleBigPlanet (Vita) A Month of PS Plus (Stackable and no CC needed!) WipeOut HD (PS3) When Vikings Attack (PS3/Vita) Extra Life Theme (PS3) Code bundles will be emailed to your donors on or before 11/25 and we can currently guarantee them only to the first 10,000 people. This means that not only can you claim this awesome bundle valued at over $50, but you can also offer it to your friends and family in return for their donation! The best part is that the entire donation will go to help local kids! Help spread the word about the limited-availability PlayStation Greatness donation incentives as we push to collectively surpass $4M raised with Extra Life 2013. Thank you for your continued support and special thanks to PlayStation for stepping in with this in our time of need! So you yourselves could possibly acquire PSN codes for a simple $20 donation before 11/25. Of course I cannot guarantee these codes. For only 10,000 of these code bundles are available. An remember, if you cant get the codes. The money (which is tax deductible) is going to Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals. This is for the kids, and will always be about the kids. To make a donation, just click the link below and click the Playstation Greatness button for your chance at one of 10,000 fifty dollar PSN code bundles. https://extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donate.start&destination=P&eventID=512&participantID=56441
