Mark Wahlberg hands out Kinect bundles to underprivileged kids

mwBurger King isn't the only one giving away Kinect packs. Actor and producer Mark Wahlberg is getting on the act as well. This one's for charity though. Through The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Marky Mark is spreading a little gaming love to less fortunate kids.

 

Wahlberg, too, was once among the youth that the organization aims to help, so he's a great fit for the initiative. "I've experienced firsthand the positive impact organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs have on the lives of young people," he said. "When I heard Xbox 360 wanted to give Kinect to Clubs across the country, I had to jump in and help."

 

Help comes in the form of a 4GB Xbox 360, the Kinect camera, and copies of Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports - the same package that Burger King raffles out every 15 minutes.

 

Wahlberg has also given Xbox 360s and Kinect some air time through Entourage, the TV series that he co-produces with Stephen Levinson.

Look, I'm all for helping out the needy, but MS, this is ridiculous. First off, a gaming console is the LEAST of any of their worries. Its obviously just ANOTHER Kinect promotion. And while I have nothing against MS promoting their product, find a better way to do it.

Like they can afford to buy new games for it. Not to mention your giving out crap 360s anyway.

Heh, you've gotta admit though... it explains the apparent "overwhelming demand" for Kinect. :D

yah it might make them happy but, how are they supposed to play it if there underprivileged they might not have a tv and if they do it would most likely be a Standard Definition and not too big

My mother couldnt offer me a lot growing up. If it wasnt for my grandmother I would have never had a NES or a gameboy. Sure I didnt have many games for either system but the fact I had something nice that I would have never gotten like that from my mother meant a lot to me. Sure I played the same games over and over again but I had something that made me happy as a child.

Hopefully for the kids sakes their parents arent crack heads who are gonna trade their new system in for a small rock just to get their next high.
