Note to self, if I EVER get a girlfriend, NEVER let her touch my DS...

black doom | 6 days 2 hours ago | News | DS 
Remember the article a while back that talked about DS bling? It looks like a business has been made out of it. A Japanese company by the name of King is redecorating girls DSes. Too be honest I would refuse to link with someone who's DS looked like this. It seems criminal to me. That said I can't help but wonder what the rest of them look like.
Is your Nintendo DS looking kinda drab? Time to shiny it up with the help of the King.

The Japanese service, called King, will take your Nintendo DS, and with prices starting at close to 10,000 yen (around $100), will give it the kind of glittering makeover sure to make those around you shout in screams of "kawaiiiiii!" (That's if the people around you are girls and you're in the teen fashion mecca that is Shibuya's 109 shopping center.)

If you're thinking that the examples shown on the site are outrageous, think again. This really is the kind of decoration a lot of girls like putting on their gadgets (the site offers the same kind of service for mobile phones). I'm just glad my wife has limited her girlie fixations to that of a bare pink DS.

    I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those. Granted, a DS is a DS, but I'm usually taking advantage of it's 'on-the-go' ability and playing it on the train and bus...I don't want to attract attention there.

    Edit: Just showed this to a friend, and she doesn't like it one bit.

    Wow, what happened to just pink DS for girls. These things are a little overboard.

    Holy crap. If they accessorize something that much, they shouldn't own a DS in the first place.

    Dear lord. I can only imagine how heavy that thing would be.

    Honestly, I can't imagine why anyoen would want one of these. x_X

    That's not "cute". It's an ugly bulky mess.

    Giant pearls and fake flowers? That's not accessorizing - There doesn't even seem to be a logical pattern on some of those DS's. It just looks like a preschooler has had fun with glue and random objects.

    Are those chunky fingernails supposed to be "cute" too? :/

    That is extremely ugly. I'd rather die then have that.

    Itprobably makes your DS a hell of a lot heavier too.

    That's really ugly, thats the abuse of jewelry being combined with a DS. Yes it will appeal to all little girls but thats going to be about it.

    To be honest i don't mind it. Granted it looks more for Kids, but still its not that bad.

    Its not really ugly. If my GF did that to mine i wouldn't mind it.

      You won't be playing that tune if it actually happens to you, you know.
      A DS should be portable and the owner should be able to take it anywhere to play. You take this kinda thing in a dark alleyway or something, and you'll never return in one piece.

        Not only a dark alley. You take the DS onto a public bus and you won't come out alive.

        Looks don't matter for a game system, what matter is does it play.
        Same for girls, looks are the least important thing for me, its all about personality.

        Star i will guarantee you that nothing will happen cause i don't go to dark alleys anyway
        Is it wrong for someone to have a different taste and not mind the look of a DS, serious?

    If my girl friend decided to make some changes on my DS, I'd let her Sure, it looks stupid, but I'd live with it. I suppose it fits some people's personalities.

    Meh, could look worse, I suppose...

    Not practical for gaming. Probably a bit uncomfortable to hold at times, and pieces could fall off...

    Isn't there a diamond studded gold PSP anyhow?

    In any case, no thanks....I'd rather they decorate my DS with kawaii anime and game girls...

    But I'm quite satisfied with the sleek black design of my Onyx DS lite.....

    Meh. I'll pass on that. Personally, I wouldn't want to spend $100 to decorate a $120 piece of machinery. As long as the decorations do not go to the back of the machine where I hold it, I could live with it if my theoretical girfriend made my DS girly, though.
