Limited Edition Gold DS...

Jirotrom · (10-10-2007, 08:32 PM)

I don't know if its old but, a nintendo rep showed my buddy a picture of a limited edition Gold DS with Phantom hourglass pack-in for this Christmas. It has the the tri-force on it. I don't know if this is old, but I just wanted to point this out. He says the tri-force is on the lower right corner. He said that he couldn't tell if it was engraved or not.

YES! I'm glad I held off on lite so long. If true it will be mine on day one (unless it has the crappy lcd).

John Harker · (10-10-2007, 08:33 PM)

they better formally announce this soon (hopefully before the TRU deal starts) and with a price, or im gonna hafta skip out on it. I still don't even own a damn Lite, heh

I was thinking the same... Still, aren't the new DS Lite screen worse than older DS Lites ?

Yeah the crimson one has a crappy lcd.

Visualante · (10-10-2007, 08:35 PM)

Shame will be if the DS sells out people who don't even like Zelda will probably settle for this.

"Inside" guys on CAG have been seeing it in their store computers for weeks now.

Still no firm date...

This will probably have a run like the LE Nes GBA SP. Get em' while they're there or c-ya c-ya.

Is this confirmed? And if so, what's the difference? I was gonna scoop the new red/black one but am now gonna hold out for the Triforce one. I currently have the launch white.

Oh I believe you. I've seen it listed on store computers as well.
I'm hoping it comes soon.

JodyAnthony · (10-10-2007, 08:45 PM)

i am a huge whore for zelda and thus even though i already have a regular ds and a ds lite, i will get this one.

Doodlebug · (10-10-2007, 09:08 PM)

Sounds cool. I'd like to see this.

You can't normally. You can just start a new game and save over the old one. If your able to run homebrew there are programs (RAIN is one I know) that can erase the EEPROM (were the save is stored) which will completely erase the saves.

BGBW · (10-10-2007, 09:17 PM)

Shame it will be released after Phantom Hourglass if this is true as I would then prefer to be able to buy it on its own.

John Harker · (10-10-2007, 09:19 PM)

if?

TSA posted pics of the bundle weeks ago, somewhere

You can always keep the copy of PH you have now and sell the one that comes with it,

TheKingsCrown · (10-10-2007, 09:19 PM)

I haven't bought one yet. I will buy this if true...

Mockingbird · (10-10-2007, 09:29 PM)

Man...the screens better not be shit quality like the crimson black...

If this doesn't happen I demand you buy me an Xbox 360 game.

As you can see, I decided against posting my off-topic question here, but thanks for your swift reply. :-)

TrueReligion · (10-10-2007, 09:43 PM)

Day one purchase for me. I'm glad I've held off of buying a Lite for so long.

Zeed · (10-10-2007, 09:45 PM)

Oh shit.

Tempy · (10-10-2007, 09:46 PM)

Better announce this and show some pics quick! The Silver DSLite is coming out on friday (in Europe) and I was planning to grab it.

Avengedsd · (10-10-2007, 10:01 PM)

I thought this was just a gamestop manager's contest. Hence the supposed extremly limited quality. I think the store with the most Zelda pre-orders was (or will be) awarded this ds. I think they might have also had the choice for a nintendogs ds as well.

GhostSeed · (10-10-2007, 10:02 PM)

Is that is it in bottom left hand corner?
(no my pict BTW)

Want!

Kadey · (10-10-2007, 10:28 PM)

I hope this is more like the Triforce SP than the regular gold SP. There is a huge difference.

speaking of, has anyone taken a picture of the actual gold Sp that was limited-release in the UK?

I'll ask him... but according to his description yes... also he said that the rep told him it would be for sale, not just a gift or prize. where is this picture from.

I chose to get the NES SP (They came out on the same day in the UK, along with the Mario SP which I hardly even see mentioned). Partly because I preferred the design, but also because I already has the Minish Cap.

I still hope for a console based DS design, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Looks like it's a Nintendo World Store display, probly from the PH launch.

allegate · (10-10-2007, 10:48 PM)

the one that was made of gold?

Kadey · (10-10-2007, 10:52 PM)

Middle far right.

MarkMan · (10-10-2007, 10:55 PM)

Mmmm... Sexy...

I always wanted a Boktai SP, do you have one of those too Kadey?

Contained within six of these Zelda Limited Edition Paks are golden tickets that will earn each of the winners a very special prize - a 24-carat gold-plated Game Boy Advance SP.

These six golden tickets are secreted in Zelda Limited Edition Paks available from six popular High Street retailers: Game, Gamestation, HMV, Virgin, WH Smith and Toys R Us.

I'm not kidding when I keep saying "MADE OF GOLD".

Dump any SP in a gold plated tank for a few minutes and woolah, same treatment. Now that I think about it, I can do the same thing. That means I can create unlimited actual Gold SPs.

It was shown off at the Nintendo World Store's Zelda launch party held a few Sundays back. Looked pretty nice, actually.

I wasn't asking if a fan-made one existed, I was asking if anyone had found the "golden ticket" and released pictures.

never mind.

nice.

Looks pretty nice. But where does all the other stuff come from? I'm assuming its not all included?

That is sooo friggin awesome and somehow I never even knew about it.

botticus · (10-11-2007, 02:04 AM)

I was always hoping for a dark green DS Lite for Zelda, but since that ain't happening, a gold one would be a worthy choice for finally updating my Phat.

SixStringPsycho · (10-11-2007, 02:05 AM)

I have that wallet

Flesh Into Gear · (10-11-2007, 02:49 AM)

I've put off buying a DSlite for a very long time, and it has been justified. (if i can get my hands on a gold one)
