Limited edition Nintendo DS Lite

Today someone at LYN showed us that Play Asia is selling an absurdly overpriced Baby Milo edition of Nintendo DS Lite and when I checked at the site, it features not only one but 4 limited edition of Nintendo DS Lite. Shall we have a look at those expensive consoles?

1) Nintendo DS Lite(Baby Milo Edition by A Bathing Ape X Nintendo-Mario To Milo)-usd699.90

Some of the forumers dont understand why it costs usd699.90 while you can get this easily if you just buy some stickers and slap the stickers into your Nintendo DS. But I dont think that those are stickers and they are supposed to be etched into the console itself hence it wont fade easily. Anyway, this console is very rare hence resulting in its exorbitant price. Many Bape fans lined up when it was released and it was sold out very fast. Look at the line here before the console was released!

I guess for ordinary gamers like me the price is just not worth it as we can get so many games with the money. Anyway, I am sure there are some Bape fans out there who wish to get it, so dont hesitate to head over to Play Asia and get it now before it is out of stock. Currently Play Asia is only selling the white version and for those who are interested in the gold version, you might want to wait for a while before it is listed at the site.

2. Nintendo DS Lite(honeyee.com x fragment edition)-usd499.90

The second expensive Nintendo DS Lite on Play Asia currently. It is a collobration project between Nintendo, Honeyee and Fragment. This console looks cooler than the Baby Milo Nintendo DS Lite in my opinion because of its unique color combination. Unlike the normal Crimson/Black or Cobalt/Black Nintendo DS Lite where only the upper and outer body of Nintendo will be either red or blue while the rest body will be black, this awesome edition of Nintendo DS Lite will be black when it it closed while the inner part is total white. Speaking of universally agreed combination of awesomeness!

3. Nintendo DS Lite(Nenga New Year Greeting Special Edition)-usd499.90

This console is by far the worst among the 4 limited editions that I include in this post. I dont think that the price is justified. What is special about this unit? It was an exlusive all red console. But do note that the same color of Nintendo DS Lite is now available to Europe market and it wont be as expensive as this unit. Other than the color itself(and this is no longer the selling point) and the fact that it comes with several unreadable paper(for me at least as I dont understand Japanese words), it is nothing special and it is better off if you use the extra money to get something else. Please stay away from this if you plan to get it!

4. Nintendo DS Lite(Crimson/Black Dragon iQue DS special edition)-usd299.90


The last Nintendo DS that I am going to mention here is the China exclusive limited edition and it was released during Chinese New Year 2008 for China. It is a crimson/black Nintendo DS Lite that features a dragon painting on its outer body. The dragon painting looks cool and it means prosperity in Chinese culture.

Wow, after 3 years Nintendo DS has been released, there are so many colors available and now so many limited editions could be found. As for me, since I am not really interested in getting limited edition of Nintendo DS Lite(I would rather use the money to get more games) as they are sometimes too overpriced, I can only drool at those pictures. But I know there are some hardcore Nintendo DS collectors out there who are interested to gobble down every single edition of Nintendo DS Lite, so dont miss you chance and head over to Play Asia now to make your purchase.

I assume that after few months, It would be hard to find NDS console in current market. I love to use NDS console due to its multi media features.

Its true that there were millions of NDS lite sold out on its released date. I thought that i was lucky because i had brought this NDS lite as well. Now it is easy to find NDS lite in nearest store.
