Monday, January 19th, 2009Nintendo DS Stylus Style

Littlest Pet Shop
The little stylus that fits snuggly inside the Nintendo DS Lite console is handy, but after a few minutes (or hours) of gameplay, some users find their hand cramping up a bit, or wish they had something a little more pencil-like. Fortunately, there are other options besides the thin, black plastic stylus that comes with the DS and which, by the way, is also available in a variety of colors.
Nintendo’s official word on styluses, or styli, is: “To avoid damage to the Nintendo DS Touch Screen, only use a Nintendo licensed stylus on the touch screen.” Also try not to use your fingernail, and even better, apply screen protectors to lessen the chance of scratches.
Nintendo has licensed some cute styluses in themes such as Littlest Pet Shop, Animal Crossing and Pokemon. There are small styluses that look like a Star Wars Lightsaber
Princess Peach
is cute, as is the monkey stylus
and the bunny stylus
. There are also styli featuring Nintendo characters such as Mario
and Princess Peach
. With Nintendo DS accessories 10 percent off through Jan. 10 at Amazon, now is a great time to snag a Littlest Pet Shop stylus for $9.89 or a Nintendo character stylus for $8.99. These styles come with a decorative and functional wrist strap.
If you’re looking for something more elaborate, the $15.95 PDA Panache Pro stylus is made of solid brass and boasts a screen-safe stylus tip, shaped finger grip and balanced weight. It fits in the DS Lite storage slot, but they no longer sell the version sized for the original DS.
You won’t be able to fit the large styluses in the storage slot, but you can easily stash them in your purse or Nintendo DS case for gaming on the go. With so many cute styluses to choose from, you’ll be stylin’ in no time.

Silver Pack Kit Is Ultimate Nintendo DS Bling

Silver Pack
You can’t get much more girly and glam than this new Silver Pack from Thrustmaster. In fact, Thrustmaster’s marketing people are aiming it straight at women who love Bridget Jones and Sex in the City. From the press release: “These users not only want functionality such as protection for their gaming console, but also to remain glamorous and fashionable. Thrustmaster’s design team has come up with a gorgeous ‘designer’ accessory that will appeal to young and older females.”
I agree; it’s very glamorous, and if were going to take my DS to the club, I would definitely pry it out of the ugly Nerf Armor it’s in now and take it in this. The Silver Pack includes a stereo headset with its own powder compact-style mirrored case, a cleaning cloth (pink, of course), a car cigarette lighter charger and four game cartridge storage cases.
The Silver Bag alone is priced at $15.99, while the pack is $34.99.
