Video gamers chipped in for a good cause on Wednesday night by bidding on an Xbox and a copy of Halo 2 autographed by Peter Jackson. The winning bid took home the console and game for $1500, with total proceeds from the celebrity auction at Auckland Town Hall reaching $190,000. The auction was to raise money for the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, which operates a music therapy centre in the Auckland suburb of Newton. The centre opened in 2003 and caters for special-needs children of school age and younger. [More]
