Nintendo has decided to take the money-printing abilities of the DS Lite and put them to good use. They have paired up with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity and released a limited edition DS Lite. While there is no word on exactly how limited the edition is, I think it’s quite beautiful: a Polar White DS Lite sporting the universal pink logo for breast cancer awareness.
The special little handheld went on sale late last week on Amazon.com, retailing for the usual price of $129.99 USD. The extra special part comes with the knowledge that Nintendo will be donating a whopping $5.00 USD per unit sold to fund breast cancer research, with a minimum donation of $100,000 USD.
That is fantastic news Nintendo! Way to go!!
