Pimp my DS Lite

An eye-catching story on ITmedia shows just how popular the Nintendo DS Lite has become in Japan since its release in March. Gamers wishing to own a truly one-of-a-kind handheld can talk to Amateur Meister by Tikko, a jeweler that specializes in tricking out consumer electronics. About 45,000 yen--$384-- will purchase a unit encrusted with bling. It may be three times the cost of a normal DS Lite, but the product description says, "With this item, we tried bringing the audacity of Swarovski Crystals to portable gaming." The unit is available by special order only.
