Super-influential streetwear designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and Japanese fashion mag Honeyee have teamed up on this very, very limited edition DS Lite. It's got a classy matte black exterior with white body and hinges, and as you can see, kicks the ass of every colour scheme Nintendo currently have on the market. Before you get excited, however, it needs to be repeated that this is limited. How limited? Don't know, further info is forthcoming. It might even just be this one. Needless to say, you'll never own one.

Rather have something like that than always having my fingerprints on the shiney ones.
I must be the only person in the world who thinks the DS lite looks ugly, and perfers the original DS's design.
*drool*
"Needless to say, you'll never own one."
Way to crush my hopes and dreams Luke.
preety! @_@
That is just beautiful! Really digging the design.
The last thing Id need though is a 3rd DS. D:
nah, my brown and purple one with a hannah montana sticker on it looks better.
I ahve a white DS lite and my roommate has a black DS lite. So we switched the styluses and GBA slot covers and now we both have unique black+white DS's.
That is the sexiest DSLite I have ever seen. Then again I said that for the black one... then the red and black one... then the blue and black one... Oh poor me and my launch day white DSLite :(
@Sailorcancer: Quite possibly! The DSLite is also far more practical in terms of sturdiness!
I think it looks awesome, but I would have preferred it if the exterior of the hinges were also black. To me, all black with white hinges (while closed) resembles a babboon butt.
Damn. O.O
I don't really care about the white parts. I just wish they'd make a matte black DS.
But it can't beat the golden Legend of Zelda DS. That DS is untouchable.
Looks good except for the inside. I like everything else but that drab gray.
@rf switch: here here!
I definitely still have the original DS, and I'm still happy with it. Never really understood the need to get cool looking DS'... of course I did realize the need to put ten blue lights in my PC, so perhaps I'm just from a different world. A significantly bluer one.
... apparently only Sony is racist for juxtaposing black and white colors :)
is its R button broken?
Matte = WIN.
And the screen will still loose its tautness after a few weeks of play.
DO WANT!
It's nice, but I still prefer my Enamel Navy DS Lite. :)
I'm mystified by the appreciation of this design. When closed, it looks like a laptop battery. fun!
(Granted, that's partially because the white background camouflages the hinge.)
When open, it looks like an ice cream sandwich. Sticky fingers.
Now I GOTTA have one!!
That's sex. Dual screen sex.
I'll buy it at a high price. (stranger etc.)
You obliterated my soul with those last couples words though. D:
I...actually don't like it that much. I'm a sucker for the gloss, no matter how impractical is it.
It's okay, but there's a few other colours I'd choose over it. *shrug*
@Sailorcancer:
you and me both buddy. I especially hate the speakers on the lite. Really the only feature I envy on my wife's lite is the brighter screen, but I'm used to my screen anyway.
oooh man. matte black with white interior? This is beeeeooootiful
I'll make one.
Get black and white DS lites, sand the black exterior, and swap out the inside casing, sell one. Done! :P
That is pretty cool looking.
The design on the outside of it reminds me of the bunker things in the TV show LOST.
That looks like the Dharma Initiative logo.
Isn't "beautiful" a tad of an overstatement? It's quite nice, but I wouldn't go that far!
@sheeeillaaa: Dammit!
Curious how scratch resistant that body is with the matte finish. I still have love for shiny things tho, I just want one in a minty green like that PSP they had articled once...
@magic_envelope: *resists the urge to crack racist jokes about this particular color scheme*
Totally gorgeous. I love my Zelda DS though.
that's a dharma DS
@Frank: Look to the cookie, Elaine.
Look to the cookie.
Hmmm... The crimson-black DS is better IMHO.
What...? That is the best looking DS I have ever seen. And is that... a Dialhex logo on the front? OH god, I love that game so much. Now I need this. Badly.
I'll never own one?? Well screw this DS Lite then! I'll build my own DS Lite!! With blackjack! Aaand hookers! You know what? Forget the DS Lite!!
A simplistic color scheme makes for a sexy beast. I bet that thing would be great to play with in bed. AND it reminds me of Oreos. Mmm... Oreos.
@theherlihyboy: excellent Futurama reference!
talk about jdm, can you say panda tru...er... ds lite
Ooo, I love that matte black finish. Why can't we have matte finishes on our DSes, Nintendo? Did a guy named Matt kick you in elementary school or something?
Is that a pubic hair on the top of it?
eh it's aight.
Too bad it's scratched then... oh boy...
OH LOOK AT THAT A MATTE FINISH MY BUT WHAT A CLEVER IDEA THAT IS NINTENDO GOSH GOLLY GEE.
If I only have one complaint about the DS it's the damn super high gloss finish. The super show off all your greasy finger prints as soon as you point your hands towards the damn thing finish.
I boughts myself one them NERF DS Armor things and now it's okay though yep.
Nintendo really should offer up a matte DS Lite for those of us that get sick of the slimy look you get from playing the smooth ones.
That's just beautiful.
Its for fashionable assholes. Ones that have way too much money.
@SavageSalad: I find your comment funny since NOWHERE does it state a price for that DS.
Anyways dont bother replying since you know its kinda hard to do that with your account banned and all.
Toodles!
Matte black paint with glossy white is a good pairing.
@Witzbold: You say Toodles? I have not seen that in years.
@Sailorcancer: I dont really think its UGLY but, it does seem a little wierder on the inside...
Maybe its just the lighting but the inside looks like that dead gray that the Nintendo was made out of. On the other hand, anything without that gloss is indeed a huge improvement :D
Hmm... maybe if I hold my white DS by the hinge and dip it in paint, it can look like this.
Or maybe I should try with somebody else's DS first.
