    SE to Donate 100 Million Yen to recovery effort, integrating donation options

    Stumbled on this in JP posting elsewhere, and cycled it through Google Translate, so it may be a little rough. Just thought I'd pass this on as I haven't seen anything on it elsewhere (Haven't checked SE's site for an English presss release yet.)

    hehe... love how you have to go to their Holdings site to get stuff like this. Would be nice if they'd put them on the pages with all the game info too.

    That is awesome news. 1.25 mil. CDN. i was hoping that they would do this. It just shows that SE is a great company & even more reason for us to respect them & not insist they get theirs servers up ASAP.

    Good job SE glad to see you pull through like we all hoped you would.
