Sears Black Friday ad reveals two new DS Lites

The annual pre-"Black Friday" bargain hunting has started among predatory shoppers, and we're already reaping the benefits of shoppers' insane vigilance. This detail from a Sears ad has revealed two new DS hardware configurations. We already knew of the gold Phantom Hourglass box, but this is the firmest confirmation we've seen from an actual retailer.
More interesting is the reveal of a metallic pink Nintendogs: Best Friends Edition bundle for $149.99. We don't know if this is a Sears exclusive, but the little ad clipping makes no mention of exclusivity. We doubt it, since one of our intrepid commenters hinted at exactly this hardware for GameStop as well. A new hardware bundle for a two-year-old game? Seems ludicrous on the outset, but it'll probably sell a (few million) bundle(s).

If these really are coming to America, I'm glad I held out on buying a Lite.

I still never understood the placement of the decals. Once I have it flipped open and playing (when more people see my DS than in my pocket) the icons are upside down.
I do like the gold one but I'll stick with my trusty Onyx.

Too bad I all ready have a pink one and Zelda. Not going to do me much good. Go buy toilet paper at TissueDepot.com instead.

Surely, they've added WPA and WPA2 by now, right? Or is Nintendo still trying to convince people that WPA isn't common in residential environments.
Shame on you, Nintendo!
