Remember those Club Nintendo "Premium" DS Lites that were revealed back in June? Well, Nintendo has now sent out the limited edition systems to the 3,000 lucky winners, and Japanese blogger Hatimaki decided to torture us by smugly photographing his Premium Silver model, which just so happens to be unbelievably, blindingly shiny. But pfft, like we care! Seriously: just imagining the finger prints on that makes us feel totally okay about not owni -- gaaah, who are we kidding?
If you're feeling flush enough, a selection of these have already appeared on eBay, priced around the $500 mark. It's an investment ... probably.

I'm confused. Isn't that shiny thing on the right just a Onyx DS with a cover? I have the same thing.
I don't think the silver DS is that reflective, but I could be wrong.

Yo' DS has been pimped.
(Insert collar flip here)
No, seriously, that's hideous. I'm glad for the winners, but to win it didn't you have to prove that you purchased a certain number of games? So.....all 3,000 of the winners already had DS's. It just seems sort of pointless, really. Why not just have a contest where you could win 500$ so no one has to go through the pain of making an eBay listing for the things?

From the original Kotaku piece:
"There are only 3,000 of these cover plated 'Premium' DS Lites: 1,000 Premium Silver; 1,000 Premium Black; 1,000 Premium Rose. These are actually the standard-in-Japan 'Gloss Silver', 'Jet Black' and 'Metallic Rose' DS Lites treated with a special metallic plating cover."

I was wondering for ages what that thing in the corner of the DS was, then I realised it was a reflection of a hand. Holy crap, that is shiny!
