Latest limited edition DS console plays games and fights cancer

We're used to seeing limited edition DS consoles with Triforce logos or little Nintendogs puppies on them, but Nintendo's latest fancy DS is a bit different from the norm.

The white DS comes with a pink ribbon emblazoned on its lid - the symbol which is now synonymous with breast cancer research.

For every console that's sold, Nintendo will donate $5 (of the RRP of $129.99) to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $100,000 promised.

Apple did a similar thing a couple of years back, releasing a limited edition red iPod Nano and donating 5 per cent of the sales to Bono's AIDS/HIV charity.

The Pink Ribbon DS lite is only available in the US, and it's probably unlikely to see a release here.

So if you really like the look of it - and want to advertise to the world what a compassionate sort you are - you'll probably need to order it from a US source. We're sure there'll be lots of eBay sellers out there who will be passing any profits made onto the charity. (Not).
