The golden Zelda-themed DS package for the US market, which we reported on a few weeks ago, was officially announced by Nintendo today. The package will include the DS and a copy of Phantom Hourglass, perfect for those holding out on buying a DS until they can play Zelda on it. It will be released on Black Friday, which I am assured means much more to you Americans than it does to a Scot such as myself.

The picture above seems to show the DS with a much more subtle shade of gold than the original, poor quality picture does. It seems much nicer, and less tacky, in my opinion. I would buy it, had I not learned my lesson about buying an extra, special edition handheld when my friend sat on my Zelda GBA. Excuse me while I mourn.
