Solid gold for $15000. Where's the solid gold Define R4?

You know how it is – you’ve just spent the past half hour setting money on fire and the fumes are making your throat hurt. Or you just finish crashing your private jet into your mega-yacht and the glare from the explosion stings your eyes a little. There has got to be a better way!

Well good news, my exceedingly wealthy friend – now there is! As Eurogamer spotted, Jumbo Electronics – one of Dubai’s biggest electronics retailers will be showing off the world’s first solid gold Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles at Games14, the largest gaming convention in the Middle East.

Created by world-renowned Italian jeweller Gatti, the fancy consoles feature a rose gold case and retail for Dh49,999 – or $15,000 AUD. Jumbo Electronics’ Head-Retail Nadeem Khanzadah was thrilled by the consoles:

 

We are particularly excited to be launching the most unique and valuable gaming consoles in the world at Games14, specially created by Gatti. Available to both Xbox and PS4 fans, the high-end materials and exquisite detailing of the gold consoles make it a great collectible item for gamers who love luxury.

Gold? That's shiny and all (shiny!) but.... I wonder how cool will it be?

And anyone buying this along with a top-of-the-line security system? (provided you don't have it already if you have the money for this)

[Scionyde]

Nothing quite like doubling down on stupidity for an already-stupid purchase

[Electrostatik]

Maybe this one will do 1080p60

Where's the gold Deifne R4 you ask? Well, go to Gatti and ask him to make one for you. I'm sure he wouldn't decline.

You'd think that as rich as they are, they would just have a gaming PC.....

[Misanthrope]

Might be the very best way to make Gold less valuable

[Captain_Slow]

maybe while playing pong.

 

luckily pong only requires 1bit color depth so that might actually work!

That's about the only way to make gold look uglier and less valuable than making a console out of it.

No, rich people probably want something that works out of the box and not something they have to fiddle with until it works. You know, such awesomly entertaining things as trying to track down the latest drivers and adjusting boot priorities. Let alone trying to optimize airflow and sorting out their cable management.

 

*I just got done drilling and filing holes in the bottom of my case to make the CPU cooler fit properly. Next step: shortening PSU cables. Never had to do any of that shit to any of my consoles.

You realize they could just pay/order someone to do that shit for them? To them a PC wouldn't be much different from a console, other than performing better in every way.

I want a solid gold H440 or 900d, with a sapphire glass window panel.

 

Thinking about it, a white H440 with gold accents like the champagne iPhone would be GORGEOUS, finally something to match my Asrock board with gold caps.

 

Oh, and matching peripherals.........

[Toddwjp]

gold should always be used with another color on larger scales otherwise your clearly just trying to compensate.

OP's idea not mine.

Well there's gold "grids" for your teeth but still fairly close
