Black Friday ad reveals two new DS colors

Black Friday ad reveals two new DS colors photo
     Nintendo

It seems the Japan DS color craze may be affecting the US after all. While American DS users do have a few colors to choose from, they paled in comparison to all the limited edition DS selections in the land of the Rising Sun. Gamers will be pleased to see that two new bundles go on sale on Black Friday, one rose colored with a pawprint on the cover and packed with Nintendogs, the other gold with a Triforce emblem and packed with Phantom Hourglass.

Obviously the Nintendogs bundle is mostly aimed at kids, but at $149.99 a bundle it doesn't do one much good to complain as the girls ought to love it. The Zelda bundle is pretty sweet and ought to delight the Hyrulian obsessed. If you've already forked out the money for Phantom Hourglass, you have to buy it again to get the DS, but you can always sell the extra copy, or trade it to a homeless man for a bottle of Boone's Farm.

Okay, it's taking all of my self control not to order the Zelda one, even though I already own TWO DSs and the Phantom Hourglass.

OMGWTF! I just bought a DS yesterday and Phantom Hourglass today! I just hope it won't have a cheapo screen that the crimson/black DS I've been hearing about. I bought the black DS and the screen is pretty good.

If there's just one thing you have to give Nintendo credit for, it's their ability to get people to buy the same handheld over and over and over again. =p
