24KT Gold Playstation 3 Starts at $4,999

It amazes me that there may actually be people who can afford items such as these, yet disasters, such as Haiti, for example, always need more and more donations just so people can get the basic necessities of life.

Gay!



Anyway. Why someone would buy a six year old platform for 4k is mindbogglingly!

I want a human skin coated PS3..... to shoot the zombies into fleshes.

And we are supposed to live in a world where resources are in scarcity?
Not with tech that's by now a few decades behind us, which leads to creation of 'artificial resource scarcity'.

So idiotic.

And yet, with all the people rampaging how we have to conserve our resources, THIS is what they are being wasted on?

i'm not very keen on GOLD anything, i'd have a purple PS3 though

What's gay about it? Care to explain? I mean yeah, that comment was cheesy and I think it was a little phony but if you're going to criticize somebody's comment, you should elaborate beyond the lame (and rude) "gay" response.

Why would an article titled about a PS3 feature an iPhone for more than half it's content?

First thing i noticed too...+1

I prefer my PS's aluminum foil "plated."

They should get one for XBOX360 (specially the older version)...

so no more over heating problem...lol

Hey look, with the rate gold has been climbing these past few years, that ps3 will more than turn itself over for profit a decade or 2

agreed..
these rich ppl should help more..

because our most sophisticated question seems to be "Can it run crysis?"

This comment reminded me of something, lol! Hey Mian, if you want that, then you need to check out this link and send them a message. They can make it happen

I see no PS3s having relations with other PS3s of the same sex here.

If you think about it these gold plated items if not counterfeited could be worth much much more about 25 years down the road. If you had extra cash laying around a gold plated PS3 would be worth many thousands more later on. Just keep it in pristine condition and in a safe. I'd buy one now to sell to a collector later. But like everyone else in the country I don't have $5,000 in my front pocket, only $4900.

Using simple math, one can calculate that the thickness of a gold layer is about 0.03-0.04mm. Is that enought for $5000?

Sounds like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"

Are you a communist or socialist?

As Winston Churchill said "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

We're in a global recession right, barley making it out of it right? So wtf are people doing buying frivolous stuff like this for? Seriously, people who buy this stuff must be only associating themselves with the uber rich and not talking to reporters or anyone else who might have something to say about people living to such excess... Next someone will put a 24kt gold chain around the damned thing and wear it around their neck.

Hmm I guess I need to clarify my previous statement.


I posted "Gay" to a response that was completely phony.

To my surprise more people are posting about, "why would someone spend 5k on something when people are dieing in some remote part of the world?", which again I will say "Gay" People die everyday how I spend my money doesn't involve the world at all. I made it, I spend it.

Then there are actually people who think for some reason, "The Planet Earth is running out of resources...", to that I would add are you just stupid. When scientist say we are depleting resources on a market scale, they are saying we could run out of oil in 300 years. 300 years would effect my great great grand kids.


Use your head people. Don't suck on the socialist tit!

I would have no problem dropping 5k on something if the product actually held value to me. I have spent 10k on a weekend in Vegas on rooms for me and my guests to sleep. Get some real world perspective people!

You are quite mistaken about pretty much all of the issues you brought up. "Resources" is a very loose term, and perhaps you need to navigate the UNICEF, UN, NATO and various respected university sites for research and papers on the depletion of natural resources, which isn't a "socialist" lie but a well documented fact. Fresh water is already a cause of major conflict in certain regions. I won't give you a lecture here, but try to be objective even if you don't want to agree. As for the "gay" term - that's just so grade 7 and time for you to use more fitting terms because I don't see the connection between happy, or homosexual to "completely phony".

Trolls can live off of others tears for days!

Political correctness fags are gay.

Offer the PS3 in Gold.. the worst selling (wordwide ) of all three current generation gaming consoles. I guess they arent looking for a big response.

Have YOU ever bought anything nice for yourself in your life? Because it amazes me that you might actually do that instead of giving the money to those less fortunate than you instead.

Wow, its not often someone gets to demonstrate their insensitivity, ignorance, stupidity, and selfishness in a few short posts.
Congratulations!
Cmon everyone lets give him a big hand! (golf clap)

I wonder if Sony figures this version can afford to have backward compatibility ^^

I find it hilarious that somehow, plating the thing in gold all of a sudden makes it a symbol of all that is wrong with the world.

Never mind the $4,500 HD Plasma screen, the $3,000 7.1 Surround set up, the $1,500 entertainment console, the $750,000 condo in Suburbia etc. etc. etc....

the thing is tacky as hell but c'mon now, let's not get carried away.

And another device for people who have too much money!

Haha - trolls... ya I guess but at least you got it in the end. Though no doubt you would know because only a closet cases have so much build up hatred for gays.

Now the question is..."will this gold plating actually enhance gaming?" From what we have gathered, their has been a economical erg to gold plate everything...with that said toilet paper maker Charmin has announced the "Limited Edition Gold Leaf Toilet Paper" which they state is septic safe. Now Ali with the weather...."IT's Gonna Rain!"
