"For all those that helped in the charity run over Christmas."

I saw in the magazine, next to some handsome bloke...

*Takes sack of money from Meka_Dragon*

A report on the charity thing we did, and quite heartwarming it was too. I'm glad to see all those kids happy... brings a tear to my eye... *sniff*

Anyway, anybody willing to copy the thing onto this topic? I would, but I saw it in my friends mag, and don't want to rejoin *quite* yet...

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please...

Make a banner with Ali's words of wisdom on it.

Glad you liked the article. Sorry we couldn't give it a bit more space, but we did say at the time that we would not use the appeal as a marketing gimmick.

Thanks again to all who participated and to those who supported the idea.

I agree.

"Order yours now you idiots" is a super idea for a PS2 advert or banner ad.

I'm just trying to think if it's legal to say things like that. There's some law against trying to make kids feel left out if they don't have one.

Ali chooses the Gameaday winners. That's right, Ali reads the contributions and picks the winners. I wasn't sure that you realised this.

Most people talk to him nicely, or at least politely, you see.

Having saved his hard-earned cash, and waited until after our customer orders were fulfilled, Ali now has a PlayStation 2.

As Ali is a keen gamer and a movie buff the machine is the ideal choice for him.

And, no, Special Reserve does not give PlayStation 2's to members of staff.

I feel all good about myself after reading that!

After completing his studies in Advanced Marketing Ali came up with a sure fire way to boost sales of the PS2:

Here goes:

"Great Ormand St thanks Gameaday winners

In the run up to Christmas, a number of Gameaday winners generously offered to donate their prizes to charity so, Special Reserve organised delivery of a Playstation 2 pod to Great Ormand Street Hospitalfor Sick Children. Fourteen winners kindly donated their prizes which meant that 12 Playstation 2 games and 4 DVD films were donated to play on the hospitals new console.

The children and teenagers at the hospital would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made a donation which they described as "the best Christmas present". 11 year old patient Luke said "hanks for making my visit to hospital worthwhile. It really cheered be up when I knew there was a Playstation 2...It's fantastic with excellent graphics"."

There is also a picture below the aricle with the following text:

"The kids at Gt. Ormand Street Hospital for Sick Children enjoy a game donated by a Gameaday winner on their shiny new PS2 pod at Xmas. Thank you for all your fantastic contributions."

I donated a game to charity!!!

I feel fulfilled.





No I don't, I need more sugar.

X-Box will rool.
