Stare along with us at the limited-edition red DS Lite


Reader supa_s (somehow) got one of the limited-edition red DS Lites that were only available through a Japan Post sweepstakes. It's a totally different color from the senior version with which we're so familiar: a much brighter and less sparkly red than the Crimson and Black. Like DS Lites tend to be, it's lovely. The prize also came with a matching black/red Hori System Bag, which we would put the system in immediately, only removing it in a clean room after careful hand-washing.

A rumor came up recently that a red DS Lite was planned for release in Europe. If that's true, it'll probably be a shade identical to this one, and then more people could have a shot at it (including importers!) While we would do our very best not to buy yet another variation of the exact same system, we'd be happy to gawk at the box in the store.

Something great in the mail: red DS Lite


As a promotion for the new year, Japan Post gave away a bunch of awesome prizes. Of special interest to us: the exclusive Japan Post red DS Lite, which entrants had 250,000-to-1 odds of winning. Of course, some of the winners are choosing to make a quick yen from their winnings (we assume most of the winners already own at least one DS anyway), so Yahoo Auctions, Japan's auction site of choice, is getting loaded up with the winning postcards. They have yet to filter out to eBay, but look forward to that soon.

All we ever got from our post office is, like, mail.

[Thanks, supa_s!]
