Electronic Arts says that it has managed to sell 4000 Santa costumes across 17 days in its PC online game Battlefield Heroes. This is particularly noteworthy because $1 of each sale goes directly to the Child's Play charity. The costumes can be worn while shooting other players, driving a tank or flying a plane..

"We're blown away by the support our community has shown for the Child's Play charity, which helps provide videogames for children in hospital," senior producer James Salt told [URL=http://www.eurogamer.net]Eurogamer[/URL].

"As of Thursday the 16th we have received a little over $3700 in donations. If we can reach $8,000 by December the 31st, we'll match that total with another $8000. $16000 certainly buys lots of video games!," added Salt.
