It's time for another sexy Extra Life update, and this one is of particular interest to anybody who is yet to donate. According to Sarcastic Gamer, Best Buy has pledged to double all sponsorships pledged today. That means that if you sponsor my 24-hour SingStar marathon today, Best Buy will donate that same amount. How grand!
Extra Life is a 24 hour video game marathon being held in living rooms around the world this Saturday. In order to help the fight against pediatric cancer, I have promised to play SingStar for 24-hours and broadcast it live online if I am sponsored a total of $5000. With less than a week to go, I need a lot more sponsorship. You can help make a huge difference by sponsoring me today.
Help Destructoid and Sarcastic Gamer to save lives and give children a new chance. Thank you.

When you say "Best Buy has pledged to double all sponsorships pledged today." Do you imply that they're only doing it for TODAY, October 15th?
Or are they infact going to double the entire sum of what is donated at the end?
Though, you're not that far of the $5,000. The amount in there right now + PayPal money (I know mine still hasn't gone through) + the $1000 from codemasters.
Slackers.
Today's the day to donate LOTS OF MONEY.
oh well i'll donate when my account is less empty, shame i won't be able to take advantage of best buys generosity.
You can enter whatever amount you want in the "other" field when you donate :)
$20 more dollars from me, sir. Sing some sort of girl power song for me. =P
Sounds like a plan to me.
Keep it up folks, it's for a good cause.
How do you pay by paypal? When i click the paypal it asks me for the Gamer name? Is that Jim Sterling?
...anyone??
Yeah I tried to paypal and I got confused as hell and gave up, just did it off my debit ;_;
