Poll: Most expensive console...ever.

[Daystar Clarion]

I don't do drugs anymore but I have done ecstasy numerous times, marijuana alot, mescaline once and opium twice. I had a bad trip once and stopped - I realised I had gone way too far. 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?

I had two tabs open and thought I was on the right thread.

That was meant to go on : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.161818?page=2#4149664

No i'm not insane...yet.

That would explain that then.

Another object for people with more money than common sense... Just more extreme than most.

Also, weren't there a company which sold gold plated PS3s for 5,000 US$? Seems a bit of a rip-off compared to that...

 

[mikecoulter]

No, just really, really sad.

I hate gold.

 

[GuerrillaClock]

A golden Wii... how...

*sidesteps crass joke*

interesting...?

Seriously, that thing looks awful.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Extremely bad taste.

 

[hotdogoctopus]

That's cool like a gold-plated d.eagle. Useless but shiny.

 

[Kollega]

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

3,097,540.38 bucks. And it's a Wii come to think of it, it would be extraordinarily stupid if applied to any object, not just game console.

Is a gold plated Wii really that practical?

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.

That's why they did it to a Wii and not a 360...

Of all the systems they could have "blinged up", why in god's name a Wii? Why not one of the greats like an SNES, or Dreamcast?

Dunno about the Dreamcast, but a gold plated SNES would be bitchin'.

 

[JTLW]

Yeah! Lets put gold on shit to make it awesome!

Seriously, the people who thought making that was a good idea should have to report to the government to get their reproductive organs removed.

Honestly? The guy who made that thing is quite probably an extremely rich man.

I say we all start learning how to cover stuff in so much tacky gold that our eyes bleed, and selling it to toffs with more billions than teeth.

Think of it as a Revolution. (HAH C WHUT I DID THAR. WII. REVOLUTION. SO WITTY.) We are going to balance the economy by stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor.

The poor being us.

The hardworking, gamer society.

Nintendo is making so much profit,they can even pull this off.

Rich Bastards!

 

[rokkolpo]

I want that Wii so bad.

Insert required penis joke. Hurrr, insert.

I feel bad for not seeing that.

great find.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

The gold plated PS3 is cooler. Why would you want to pay that much more for basically the same console that runs the same games as a regular one?

 

[damn12369]

If i want 22carat gold i would by gold BRICKS!

 

[sneak_copter]

Hold on, a normal Blackberry phone costs more than a Wii, but the gold-plated Blackberry is almost 200,000 pounds cheaper than the gold plated Wii?

This doesn't add up.

 

[Caligulove]

I wouldnt bother playing something on it... but no matter what the console- you had better not tip that thing over because it will be going down HARD if it does. It would be a nice thing to have and play just to show people how fucking rich you are (if you ever get to that stage) for one night.

I guess to rent it out for a night
