If you happen to be a Seattle Mariners fan, and you're in the area, rush down to Safeco Field to pick up one of these bad boys -- this is a US-exclusive Lite with the team's logo embedded into the shell. This is exactly the kind of thing we need to see more of in North America if Nintendo wants to continually rock out US sales like those in Japan. More cool stuff like this, less commercials during kiddie cartoons. Mainstream, here we come!
There are only 2000 of these special edition Lites, and this is everywhere on the 'net today, so we expect a few fans may end up trolling eBay with tears in their eyes in a few weeks. It's too bad Nintendo doesn't own a sizable interest in the St. Louis Cardinals -- then we'd finally be able to convince a certain
mother unit that the DS is even more awesome than the Wii!

The mother unit can see the Wii without the nasty where the bleep did I set those darn glasses. I would love the DS if I could see it.

That doesn't look "embedded" at all. It looks cheaply done, like it's going to scratch off.

Oh wow! I want that worse than the air I breathe! The only thing that could be better is if it had Griffey Jr.'s number on it, too!

I would love if it MLB did agree to have the team logos and sold them on each team's website or at the stadiums (such as the place formerly known as the Skydome).

Isnt it ironic since there are like no (at least not any good) baseball games on the DS

WOW...I don't know what else to say! I NEED THAT! Instead of Griffey Jr. for me, I'd love Ichiro's number on it, and I've been wondering why they don't have many baseball games on the DS or even one for the Wii (besides Wii Sports Baseball). Miyamoto likes baseball and Nintendo owns a baseball team! In due time I guess.

Nintendo owns the Majority of The Mariners so it makes sense that they would do this. Also I am from Seattle and the Mariners suck so IDK if anyone would really want to pick this up.
