among other things.

I stumbled upon this site recently and its completely ridiculous. Most of the stuff LOOKS really cool, but is totally impractical and expensive a 24k gold plated PS3? really?

I could get the same effect from some gold spray paint so why the fuck bother with shit like this?

I can understand shit like the metroid prime Wii and stuff that have real art. But shit like this is just, "why the fuck would I buy that?!"

$5,000 for a PS3.

Lmfao, no. Do these things even sell?

...and a gold MacBook Pro... I'm SERIOUSLY afraid to even see the price on that thing.

Notice the hot pink/blue laptop.
Why would you even touch it, let alone buy it?
But the PS3 is shiny.... :specialed:

I can kind of see the point of using this to customize your laptop with custom colors. Not 24k gold obviously, but more along the lines of the purple macbook air. But they don't show a price for the customizations so it's probably still not worth it. Also at the red, blue, and neon pink color scheme someone picked *shudder*. Seriously, that thing is eye-searing. Someone was a rich retard to request and buy that.

Why waste your money on a gold-plated PSP, when you can just get a purple or blue DSi for a fraction of that?

Also, in ancient times, purple was considered a noble colour because it was very hard to make purple dye, taking over nine thousand snail shells to create just one gram of dye... hence, only the very wealthy could wear purple

Planning a career as a video game hip-hop star, Anya? "And here again, with her #1 smash 'Xbox 360s In Da Hood, Yo', here's Anya!"

I've heard of a Monopoly board that sells for $100k, and comes with gold houses, hotels, and tokens and has some jewels in the board, and it also includes actual cash

Because of what Terra said. I'm one step closer, yo.

Why does it seem like Zelda commercials always have some kind of cheesy song it them?

And I would rather buy a normal PS3 with games than spend $5000 on the system itself (even if it is made of gold...).

Do they have golden PC cases too, or only iMacs?

It does loos pretty nice and shiny, but I wouldn't want to spend $5000 on that either (but can it really be cheaper with pure gold) ... unless I had millions to waste, of course

Actually pure gold is usually cheaper than something like 18k, as pure gold is usually too soft for most uses. At least it's like this with quality jewelry. High quality 18k is almost always going to be more expensive and desirable than ornately carved 24k. Which of course, that leads me to question just how durable all of this stuff is. Every drop would probably dent it.

I'll be honest. The platinum iMac looks pretty cool. Too bad no one will ever buy it because we're all poor as shit right now.

...now it's got all your personal information on it AND it's gold-plated! Which probably makes it heavy too. >.>

Silly, Macs are the computer of choice for pompous snobs who buy expensive things because they're pretty.

I wouldn't mind having these things, though. So I could sell them to some idiot and buy useful things, like food.

Yeah. Let's see how long you can last in public with one of these before you get mugged.

I'm pretty sure the kind of snob who would not only be able to afford but actually BUY one of those would not be seen in a public area where they'd be likely to be mugged (subway etc.), but that doesn't make it any less retarded. Still looks kind of cool though that purple laptop was sexy.

Yea... that purple MacBook Air looks pretty cool... too bad I don't like modern Apple products anymore...

The Purple Store has a lot of purple things on it, and Staples seems to sell a lot of purple things for some reason, too

That thing must weigh loads if it has all that gold on it. It's impractical.
