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.

I don't understand why this is popular. It looks stupid. :(

But..But...it's got....MONKEY FACES. CHIBI monkey faces. It's required by Japanese law that anything that's chibi=awesome! jk
Looks gay. I'd rather spend that cash on a 360 than for 1 Ds with some faces on it. Even if one of the faces is that of Mario.

I guess it has everything to do with a fad. And you know what fads can do to people...

The ONLY reason why this DS is amazing
is because it is associated w/ BAPE/BBC/Ice Cream.
For those of you that aren't in the "know,"
those are all companies that are run by Pharrell Williams,
who is better known as the more profound member of the producing duo called The Neptunes as well as the main person in N*E*R*D*.
Now you know!
hahaha

I'd rather get the Fragment Design DS Lite.

The Fragment DS is so obscenely beatiful that Nintendo needs to make it a factory model ASAP.
Despite de fact that I don't like white (yellowed) L and R buttons.

Seconded.
The Fragment Design DS was pretty classy, though I still wouldn't pay $500 for it.
The white Bape DS honestly looks like someone just put a bunch of tiny, ugly stickers all over the front of a normal DS. Why anyone would even pay retail for it is beyond me.

I feel the same way about the fragment design that most people feel about this, it's just boring and that printing on the top is meaningless. That said, I'm not really into the white BAPE DS Lite, but that gold one is beautiful.
