Hot on the streets of eBay: Bape DS Lite
You know the Bathing Ape DS Lite that you can't get? You can get it, thanks to eBay user garakuta1028! Unfortunately, like all designer goods, you have to pay dearly for the privilege of a thing with a label. Combine this with the usual premium associated with a limited-edition DS Lite, and you've got one pricey monkeyed system.The white Bape DS Lite is now available on eBay for just $550. Chances are, if you're a fan of Tokyo fashion, you're used to paying that much for stuff. The rest of us will just have to be satisfied with the option to skin (or draw on) our everyday DS Lites.[Via GameSniped]
See how badly Japan wants the Bape DS Lite
There's no doubt in our minds that the Bape DS is a hot little number, but we'd never wait on a line like this for one. At first, the line seems somewhat modest, but then the camera keeps on turning around more and more corners. We should have guessed as much, seeing how the video is over two minutes long. To see exactly how much Japanese gamers love special edition DSes, check out the clip embedded above for yourselves. [Via GameLife]
Bape puts its mark on limited edition DS Lites
It's not like there's any shortage of highly desirable DS / DS Lites out there, but we've all ideas this particular iteration will be one desired by many and acquired by (very) few. Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape (Bape) has apparently signed on to put its spin on Nintendo's darling of a handheld, littering both a gold and white DS Lite with Milo characters. As for pricing, we'll just assume that those that need to ask should simply push this far from the forefront of their minds.[Via DSFanboy]

"Haters get mad 'cause I got me some Bathin' Apes (DSes)." If its shoes are any indication of how much these custom DSes will cost, it's safe to assume that you'll need to spend about a billion dollars to procure one of these Mario-and-Milo-patterned handhelds. Mario's slackjawed expression? Chalk it up to him seeing this package's price tag. According to High Snobiety, Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape plans to sell the "Bape x Nintendo DS Lites" in Japan starting April 1st. The systems will be available in white and, naturally, gold. Of course, you can expect this to be a very limited edition run. See also: Hot on the streets: Black and white DS Lite [Thanks, Juan!]
