For all you Halo fanatics out there, there is an Xbox 360 signed faceplate by Bungie and Red vs. Blue currently on eBay. Not only are there some bad ass signatures on this faceplate but all proceeds raised will go directly to Child’s Play, which is an amazing gamers’ charity. About Child’s Play :
Since 2003, gamers have banded together through registered Seattle-based charity, Child’s Play. Over a million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.
Such a worthy cause. Signatures on this faceplate include :
Red vs. Blue
- Burnie Burns “Church”
- Joel Heyman “Caboose”
- Geoff Ramsey “Grif”
- Gus Sorola “Simmons”
- Kathleen Zuelch “Tex”
- Becca Frasier “Sister”
Bungie Studios/Microsoft/Xbox
- Joe Staten
- Frank O’Connor
- Max Dyckhoff
- Jamie Griesemer
- Kevin Paul
- Eric Nylund
The story behind the faceplate, from Laird :
I decided after I got out of the hospital last June that I was going to get a 360, once I got the Halo 2 faceplate for my 360 I pretty much tossed my generic white 360 faceplate in the 360 box. Then a few weeks before the San Diego Comic Con, I decided to take my faceplate to San Diego to get some people from Bungie and RVB to sign it. After pondering what to do with it I was like “Hey, I was sick and in the hospital and I know how much it sucks to be here.” (I had my DS so I had some sanity.) I held on to it a little longer and decided to take it to PAX and see who else I could get to sign it. At PAX I was talking with some people about the faceplate and how I was sick, they suggested I donate it to Child’s Play, so long story short, I wanna help the kids out there who are stuck in the hospitals and this is a chance to show the Halo community cares and you get a cool collectors piece out of it too.
Update : This item sold for US $170.71.
If I had some money, I would totally bid on this!
Go anyone that wants a close up image of the faceplate I just took this picture not too long ago.

Great close-up pic; thanks for posting that!
I was going to bid, but I saw KP signed it.
Sometimes when KP signs things, he continues his signature from what he is signing onto his shirt. With a Sharpie.
i like that gold colored signature.
its at over 100 dollars. thats really cool, donating to charities is a wonderful thing : )
Dang, if i had seen this earlier i would have payed 200, no kidding. Hell, i would have payed at least 100 for just bungie good cause or not.
