PS3 dipped in gold appeals to our ‘elitist doofus’ sensibilities

Here’s the thing. Merely dipping something in 22 carat gold does not necessarily mean we’ll like it better… but it’s a semi-decent start. Now, we know a PS3 literally covered in gold and diamonds isn’t precisely “news,” nor is it anything we haven’t seen before with other consoles. It is, however, a stark reminder that being super rich often leads to gaudy, tasteless, nearly criminal displays of ridiculousness. Hit the source link whether you want to order one
from purveyor Stuart Hughes for a mere £199,995 (that’s about $320,000).
