Gainax, don’t ever change.

Well, it looks like those Eva edition iPods were such a hit that Gainax has licensed another such device. That’s right, you can be the proud owner of a Kenwood Digital Audio Player in Rei White, or Asuka red! Looks to go on sale December 24th, for the low low price of 59,640 yen ($536) and whatever dignity you might still have. And if these sell well, perhaps we might see Evangelion Edition PS3s, Evangelion Edition DVD players, or Evangelion Edition flame throwers. The imagination is the limit!
According to this article in English, the unit comes pre-loaded with Evangelion OSTs 1-3, and the OSTs for Death and The End of Evangelion, so the thing comes with 5 cds worth of music. A nice touch, but it still doesn’t change the fact that this device is extremely extravagent.
