The Force will be with your Nintendo DS lightsaber stylus always…or until you lose it
That picture up there is probably about the actual size of the upcoming lightsaber stylus for the Nintendo DS. You can get larger ones that actually light up. How cool is that?!?! I mean, um, how dorky is that? Because I wouldn't want to be seen in public playing Space Invaders Extreme with a fully armed and operational red lightsaber.
These will be available at the end of the month from Amazon.com, in either a three-pack of ones that don't light up or a two-pack of super-sweet awesome dorky ones that do light up. Since you're wondering: $8 and $17, respectively. It's good they come in multiples; you're probably going to lose them since they won't fit into the DS' stylus slot. And no word yet on what kind of crystals you need to power these things.

If they fit in the stylus slot they'd be tempting. As it is they'd be really inconvenient to use.

What they really need to do is fit in the stylus slot and then make "The Sound" when you pull them out.

don't forget the flash and crash when either the stylus contacts other styluses, and "the sound" when you just sit there like a dork, waving the styuls around.
I think if I bought these my wife would euthanize me on the QT.
