Right, now that I'm on my computer I can better explain what I was thinking. There are many people who don't donate money because they just never get around to it, or because they just can't decide on a charity. I know several people who want to find a way to help the people of Japan but don't know who to donate to and how to do it.
So I've come up with a solution, PD could make 2 DLC packs and put them on the PSN Store, the 2 packs would be a Chromeline pack and a Stealth pack, that could include 5 cars each and be sold for $10, with all of the profits going to charities that are helping the Japanese earthquake victims.
Of course, the cars that would be in these packs shouldn't be the cars that were included with the Signature or Collectors edition of the game as that would be unfair to the people who purchased those. Instead, PD could just take some cars that are already in the game and give the the Chromeline or Stealth treatments respectively.
I figure if 3M of the 5M or so GT5 players buy both packs over $60,000,000 could be made, and I'm sure there are more people in the GT community as well as people who don't even have GT5 who would buy the packs just to make a donation.
Also, I noticed allot of people claiming that this idea is greedy somehow, as if people would only buy the packs because of the cars and not because it helps people. But think about it for a second, imagine all of the people who don't spend allot of time on the internet, or haven't donated because they don't want to go through the trouble of finding a charity online, or searching through a newspaper or magazine, and then researching it to make sure it's credible, and then finding out how to donate. This provides a simple, quick, easy way for people to donate, but also gives them a little something in return that doesn't cost anyone in the end.
EDIT: Also, if anyone here is following Kaz on twitter could you try to find out how he feels about this idea? I don't have a twitter account and can't really be bothered to make one since someone else on here is probably already following him.
