Post by: Nick DiMola on September 29, 2008, 01:24:28 PM

Nintendo is offering a 20,000 copy limited print of the DS Lite at Amazon now.

 Late last week, Nintendo made available 20,000 copies of their white DS Lite with a pink ribbon emblazoned to the back of the top screen. The print is intended as support for breast cancer research with Nintendo contributing $5 per DS, or $100,000 in total to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity.    

   

Nintendo has vowed that they will contribute $100,000 regardless of whether or not the limited print sells out. Those looking to show their support for breast cancer awareness and research can pick up one of the limited pink ribbon editions of the DS Lite for $129.99 at Amazon.com now.

Kind of disappointing that Nintendo couldn't scrape together a bit more cash for the cause. $5 per DS seems paltry in comparison to the amount they must pull down per unit.

Agree on the $5 bit, but it's still a nice idea.  I'm running (mostly walking) the Denver 5K this weekend.
