Ever wondered how you could make your games console more 'blingier' (if that's a word)? Now you can... as long as it's a Wii.

What do you think? Is it REALLY worth paying that much for a gold plated games console, or is it the most over the top piece of awesome ever?

It looks awesome, but no...

I mean you wouldn't dare to play on it!
I know what you mean, I wonder if the warranty covers it, that would be a shock to Nintendo.

HOLY SHIT! 1.92 million pounds! That's 3,097,540.38 USD!

I would be afraid to even LOOK at it!

Looks like a new entry for the World's Tackiest Bling.

Never tried it, but I wonder if gilding a console would cause it to overheat faster. & if you're going to gild something, it's best to do it to something that won't die on you. Then again, I've seen a gold plated Mustang & it looked plenty stupid.

I hope you did that maths in your head...that would be awesome.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I used a currency converter. I'm good, but not that good

What is it with putting gold on consoles nowadays?

Really though, you wouldn't even touch it out of fear of damaging it, never mind play anything on it.

The idea of having a gold plated console sounds ok, but really, if its "legit" gold, you wouldn't dare play on it, incase if you go crazy if you see one small scratch on it.

People would probably put it on a podium to show how much spare money they got to burn :) Surrounded by lasers and tripwires so thiefs cant steal it :)

I wouldnt go for it, as i would rather have something to play on rather than something to idolize. Btw, if they gold plated the original ps3, wouldn't it be much heavier than before? Just a thought :)

Once you don't abuse them they're fine and I think it should be a personal choice to do them. Goverments shouldn't be allowed to infringe upon personal freedom in my opinion.

lol, wut?

1: It's a Wii, I don't like Wii
2: I don't like gold, prefer silver or platinum
3: I don't like 'blinging-things-up' anyway.

So, definite no-no...
