These days, fasion craze hits everything. Fashion label Bathing Ape (Bape) and Nintendo have got together to release the Limited Edition Bape DS Lite with a Bape and Mario design. The problem is, the cost. It's originally set to be sold at ¥16800, but now it's risen to a whopping ¥44940. And it's also only available in Japan currently.
On eBay, it's available for a quite generous $599 a piece.
If you’re fashion conscious and have more money that sense you may be interested to know that Nintendo and fashion label Bathing Ape (aka Bape) have schemed together to create the “Baby Milo”, a limited edition DS Lite featuring an exclusive Bape design.
The con of the century is retailing at ¥16800 (about $167) but good luck getting one for that price. Bape reseller Boboshop is selling the little gems for ¥44940, that’s $447 if your last name happens to be Gates. Ironically the design (which also comes in reassuringly expensive gold) resembles that of designer Louis Vuitton, famous for his overpriced bags and accessories.

I always wondered what that meant... I didn't like the idea of literally giving animals a bath.
"According to Nigo (creator of the clothing line), the name 'A Bathing Ape' is short for a Japanese saying 'bathing in lukewarm water'. Japanese people typically have daily baths in water over at temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. As such, bathing in luke warm water is to complacently over indulge. This is, ironically, a reference to the lazy oppulence of the younger generation of Japanese, the brand's own customers."
