Nintendo Japan sent out GIRATINA DS LITE! DS Fanboy fainted!

Members of Japan's Pokémon Daisuki Club will soon be able to (enter a raffle to potentially) buy a Giratina edition Nintendo DS Lite bundle, consisting of Pokémon Platinum and a swoon-worthy Lite that has been subtly branded with the Platinum cover star.

Like many limited edition DSes, supply is expected to be short, so hopeful owners will have to submit an entry form to enter the draw, where they could win the right to give Nintendo money -- ¥21,600 ($203), to be precise. The raffle ends on July 14th (and is for Japanese residents only), and 1,000 of the names drawn will be eligible for an even rarer metallic Giratina figurine. Remind us again, please: why are we still living in not-Japan?

Go past the break for a closer look.

That DS looks sexy. I wasn't planning on buying Platinum, but I'd get it if it came with that DS.

I have the Dialga & Palkia DS Lite and this is boring in comparison. =s

You don't seem to understand the drool factor here. The site name is, after all DS *FANBOY* yes? Ahh, what I wouldn't do for that... But I do have to agree that the Palkia/Dialga DS looks better IMO. Still there are tree special editions that I'm pining for now: The yellow Pikachu DS Lite, The black Palkia/Dialga DS Lite, and this... Damn, but I still live here in friggin' "Not Japan." *sigh*
