Good news -- your precious organs can remain part of your body, as North American Gamestops recently began promoting the special edition DS Lite, branded with the critters on Pokémon Diamond and Pearl's box art -- Dialga and Palkia. The paltry sum of $129.99 will net you the system, a matching case, a 22-minute Pokémon Dungeon DVD, a poster featuring fellow pocket-sized monster Grovyle, and a T-shirt.

I don't like all these special editions both DS and PSP i mean often atleast for me my local stores only stock the special edition and i personally fall out of love with game characters too much to ever risk having them slapped on my console lol..
