Starting tomorrow, Nintendo will begin airing commercials featuring various famous females to showcase the crimson and black DS and the re-release of the metallic rose DS Lite - which was sold as a bundle with Nintendogs during the holiday season last year. In case you missed it, here's the adorable Liv Tyler commercial as she geeks out with Brain Age 2. And now for a sneak peek at Carrie Underwood having some fun with Nintendogs on her pretty-in-pink DS Lite!

Last time we saw Carrie Underwood with her DS, she was playing with her virtual pups in Nintendogs. This time she's kicking butt and taking names while racing a few of her bandmates in Mario Kart. She still has that awesome Metallic Rose DS (so jealous), and seems to have a pretty good strategy on how to take out her competition. Check out her commercial below!

For some of us, buying a new bag is a big investment, and you want it to match (or at least "go with") the rest of your accessories – including your gadgets. If you're a cohesive color shopper, but can't throw down for that new Gucci, fear not. Make like Louise from the SATC movie and rent it! Renting is becoming as popular and as easy as Netflix, and now it's not only restricted to bags. FromBagsToRiches is offering up a pretty sweet deal: When you rent one of their featured handbags, they'll throw in a color coordinated Nintendo DS for 30 days free of charge!

But it's not only one of Nintendo's awesome colored DS' you'll get for a month (they even have the new metallic rose and silver models), but you'll get a game pack to go along with it. Cause really, what good is the DS without the game? Choose from Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir, Brain Age, Nintendogs, and New Super Mario Bros. to play while you're on the go. A new handbag, a new DS, and a fresh game to play for 30 days? What more can a girl want?

Nintendo has just released two special edition Nintendo DS bundles which come in metallic rose and gold. Each bundle not only comes with a DS Lite that is two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS but it is also paired with a game!

The built-in solar power panel on the outside of the bag attaches to a battery box in an interior pocket that will charge-up in six to eight hours of strong sunlight. A portable and stylish gadget charger on the go! This Courtland bag costs $383. Other styles available as well.
Super Mario Galaxy is worth all the hype and then some. The hottest game for the Wii this holiday season, Super Mario Galaxy combines the best features from Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers 3, and Super Mario 64 into this super galactic 3D adventure. Priced at $50.
The future of reading has arrived with Amazon's latest creation, The Kindle.

Black Friday Must Have: Gold and Pink Nintendo DS Bundles With Games

GeekSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:00:35 -0800

Have you made your Black Friday wish list yet? Nintendo will release its special edition Nintendo DS bundles on Friday and after a preview I can attest that they are an awwww-inspiring gift for the kid, teen or grown up gamer in your life.

Each of the special Nintendo DS bundles, which will be priced around $160, pairs a custom-color Nintendo DS system with one of the platform's most popular titles, so it's the perfect starter kit. The new gold edition (seen here) comes with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, while the metallic rose Nintendo DS comes with the "Best Friends" version of Nintendogs. The DS is one of my favorite gaming devices because of its portability and game selection so I was thrilled to check out the new colors (the gold device features Zelda's signature Triforce logo on the lid - how geek chic is that?). The bundle makes gift giving easier because you don't have to buy a separate game in order for the recipient to have something to play with as soon as you give it to them.

According to Nintendo, Legend of Zelda, which comes with the gold edition bundle, has already earned high marks with female gamers but this edition of Phantom Hourglass makes the saga available for a portable console for the first time ever. Forget the hourglass. I'm totally addicted.
