"Haters get mad 'cause I got me some Bathin' Apes (DSes)."
If its shoes are any indication of how much these custom DSes will cost, it's safe to assume that you'll need to spend about a billion dollars to procure one of these Mario-and-Milo-patterned handhelds. Mario's slackjawed expression? Chalk it up to him seeing this package's price tag.
According to High Snobiety, Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape plans to sell the "Bape x Nintendo DS Lites" in Japan starting April 1st. The systems will be available in white and, naturally, gold. Of course, you can expect this to be a very limited edition run.

While I'd love to own one, I'm assuming it'll be limited to Bape members only, like some of their clothing. Which is great for the people selling them, my friend made a cool grand off a Bape hoodie. Since when did clothing lines have their own membership clubs?

That's one of the fruitiest DS' I've ever seen. Whoever would actually lay down money for that is messed up. I' much rather have a cool Ds, like Crimson/black, or black, or white, or the blue ones. And how does a Japanese clothing line tie in with Mario? HOW?!
