Here's the drill: Big, popular game is released on DS. Before the sale date, it's announced that a special engraved DS Lite version of the game will be bundled with the software. People buy it. The end.
For ¥21,840 (US $180), Square-Enix's Final Fantasy 12 Revenant Wings gets the Lite treatment with a "Sky Pirates" bundle that includes above-mentioned DS and the software. You know, I am going to go out on a limb and say that another such bundle just *might* be released when Dragon Quest IX hits. Ballsy prediction, eh?
Hit the jump for the game's box art.

GAWD DAMN JAPANESE AND THEIR COOLER DS LITES >:[
Shame we will never see it (officially) stateside. I think a Dragon Quest one would be friggin sweet.

i always liked how nintendo's special ed. ds's always were pretty simple. just a few simple graphics with a few colors. they're pretty good about keeping things less gaudy than what they could be
I don't know, the image on it is kind of ugly, they definitely could've done better.
But thats probably only going to stop like 2 people from picking it up, maybe they'll just show up decide they don't like the FFXII version but still buy another DS and the game.
Is the US getting any special DS Lites or should I just go and get an Onyx?
Get the Onyx. I'd bet that in some point in the future Nintendo will introduce more colors, but who knows when that will be. Black attack FTW.
I will never understand why Jpn will get 700 special edition systems but the rest of the world...zero
when they open it the image will be upside down to anyone looking at it.

With a ballsy prediction like that, we don't even need the analysts that sayd the PS3 might see a software drop and maybe some new games coming in teh future!
Refer to my comment on the Black Austrialian 360 for my opinion on this matter.
It seems to go against all logic to spend resources releasing special DS's in a country where they'll still be sold out if the only design was Osama Bin Laden, instead of enticing people in countries who don't have as big of a DS fever to buy two or three units each.
@ Havok154 feel ya man....i want a spED DS....
