If you haven’t already seen them, 1UP has posted several eBay auctions today as a part of the Play For Japan initiative. The goal is to raise money to be donated to relief efforts in Japan, a country whose impact on the videogame industry cannot be overstated. Today we’ve got signed copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Katamari Damacy, with more coming later this week. If you’re able, get involved in the bidding — these are some very cool, rare items you can get your hands on, and all proceeds will be going towards a great cause. Also keep an eye on Play For Japan’s website and Twitter account for more auctions from others in the industry.
Today’s highlights:
- 1UP staff remember the Game Boy Advance on its 10th anniversary.
- Vote for Madden NFL 12‘s cover athlete, March Madness style.
- Quantic Dreams’ new game might be called “Fiv5.”
- Details and videos on a canceled sequel to Perfect Dark.
- Duke Nukem Forever‘s take on CTF involves capturing babes and spanking their butts.
- World of Warcraft‘s subscribers could be cannibalized by Diablo III.
