The Beatles: Rock Band is doing more than providing entertainment to gamers worldwide, it’s also raising money for charity. Benefiting charities with the download of the exclusive Xbox Live track, “All You Need is Love” and the auction for the limited edition “The Beatles: Rock Band” Xbox 360 console.

With the $17,300 raised from the console, Doctors Without Borders will be able to buy equipment to carry out 86,500 immunizations and purchase emergency kits for more than 2,800 people.

“We are thrilled over the contributions to us so far from downloads of ‘All You Need Is Love,’ and from the auction of the beautiful, one-of-a-kind Xbox console,” said Dr. Matt Spitzer, president of the board of directors of Doctors Without Borders. “We are incredibly grateful for having been selected as the beneficiary of this promotion. Funds generated from initiatives such as this can go a long way,” he added. “Severely malnourished children will be treated, people displaced by war will receive life-saving medical care, and people living with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other neglected diseases will have access to the medicines they need. On behalf of our patients, Doctors Without Borders says ‘Thank You.’”

Medecins Sans Frontiers are awesome, they help out so many people... That's so cool that the funds raised from this 360 were used to do something like that.
