TF2 Hats Raise $430,543 For Japan

Cripes. You may remember us reporting that as of some two weeks ago, Valve were selling a variety of hats and noisemakers in Team Fortress 2 with prices ranging from $0.49 to $100 (that'd be the one on the right, there) in the name of raising money forAmerican Red Cross's disaster relief fund for Japan. Those items vanished from the game's Mann Co. store on Wednesday last week, but Valve have today reported on the official Team Fortress 2 blog that fans bought a total of $430,543 and 65 cents' worth of stuff. Good work, gamers!

To mark the occasion, I've arranged for Sambomaster to play us out after the jump.

Take it away, guys!
