The bling you just can't live without [update 2]

You know, as we walk in the 'hood with our decked out diamond chains, pinky rings, and various gaudy objects of choice, we can't help but feel that something is missing. We thought it was something like love, or a sense of self-respect, but that's just silly. Future Shop Accessories has shown us the truth: what we're missing from our lives isn't some intangible emotion or joy, but a bitchin' 18K gold DS Lite stylus.That's right. It's shiny. It's bling-tastic. And it's yours for only (Canadian) $19.99! Not to do their advertising for them, but this might just be the most important video gaming purchase of your lives. Don't miss out. Make like Midas and get clickin'.
[Update 1: They appear to have run out of stock for the time being, but more should be available soon. Also, noted that the $19.99 was in CDN.]
[Update 2: They're back in stock!]
[Thanks, Hannah!]

$19.99 is the canadian price, I too saw this in the flyer.

Who on earth would want this? Come on, the stylus is meant to be played with, not admired at. The $20 is better spent on Sonic Rush at Future Shop, not this bling bling.

A gold stylus? Dude, I want it, I hope they ship to the UK, and get these back in stock soon.

U.S.? When?
RupeeClock @ Dec 2nd 2006 1:45PM
Bah, they DON'T ship outside of Canada, I WANT this, it would make a great Christmas present too.

This is Lite only? To bad I spent all my money on the Wii.
@ tanderson- That was really inapropriate.

I saw this at the store, seems like a rip-off.

This is the perfect holiday gift for any DS Lite owner!

Damn, they don't ship to Australia... would make a cute xmas present.
But hey, at 20$ it ain't going to be great quality. What's a bet the gold is so thin it wears off after a week of playing?

If you are looking for an upgraded stylus, but don't need quite so much 'bling', check out these by PDA Panache:

I bought one for a PDA a few years ago and it was fantastic.
I'd like on in black please...

I personally think that the stylus would make you look like an idiot, but to each his own I guess.
Naruhodou @ Dec 3rd 2006 12:07PM
strider, thanks for the link. I was thinking about buying one but lost the site. So I take it that stylus plays well? I'm getting tired of these plastic ones sliding out of the slot after a week.

@Naruhodou
I'm personally on the fence over it, as I would like to have it in black and it only comes in chrome.
(with a choice of two tip colors, granted)
However my Palm m125/m130 stylus was of outstanding quality and the solid brass made for a great feel, even if it did add some weight to carry.

I've got the gold stylus brand new from Futureshop. Email quinnhsu@shaw.ca for details. Will ship to anywhere in the world.
