:shock:

What do you get the gamer who has everything?

Answer: this24-karat gold-plated Playstation 3, which comes complete with two matching controllers and a one-year warranty.

You might want to consider a second mortgage first, though: pricing starts at (yes, starts at) $4999. And we thought thePS3was expensive when it launched at $500.

If that doesn't quite do it for you, the same supplier also offers a mighty snazzy gold-and-black Blackberry Tour 9630, starting at a mere $899. There's that worrying "starts at" again. The menu also includes platinum-plated iMacs -- no home's complete without one -- and promises a jewel-encrusted limited-edition PS3 will be on sale in a few weeks.

If even those aren't exclusive enough, check outthis gold NES cartridge, which sold back in July for a staggering $17,500. Now that's what we call bling.

Said this in the other thread on the subject that's like 5 threads down, but I think it looks terrible. I wouldn't even pay as much for it as a regular PS3, as I have no interest in buying it for it's collectors value. It's hideous.

That gold nes cartridge wasn't just plated or covered in gold though... and it should be worth alot more than a gold PS3 which is readily available unlike the gold cartridge which only 26 where made...

First off its not made out of gold... its gold plated meaning theres pretty much a very layer of gold over everything.

Secondly theres like 3 or 4 threads on this now

I have read the article and I have to agree it's shocking! It's a good buy if, you are one of the worlds richest (ex. Bill G***s).
