Behold, the £6000 Xbox One
Feast your innocent peepers on this monstrosity. It's an Xbox One that's been gold-plated.
We aren't just talking a gold-coloured paint job here, mind you. That's proper 24-carat gold covering the outside of the console.
Initially spotted and reported on by Reddit, the gold Xbox One can be found in that legendary London boutique of extravagance, Harrods.
You might want to check your piggy bank before you pop over, though. At a cost of £6000 ($9779) there's a slight premium on the price compared to the standard version of the console.
Still, we're sure you'll agree it's worth it just to see the look on everyone else's face as they seethe with jealousy at your golden slab of wonders.
"After all," you'll chuckle at them, "you can't use Microsoft Bing without a little Microsoft bling!"
Then you'll follow up with "you can't spell Quantum Break without Au", which less of them will get even though it's a really clever chemistry joke (albeit a slightly awkward one), which in turn will make you feel even more superior.
Well, at least you will until you realise your console is coated in a conductive metal. Then, when it overheats and you send it to Microsoft for repair, you'll end up with a bog-standard replacement unit. Justice.
If you don't have a spare six grand knocking about, you could always cover a normal console in a big sticker instead, giving your system the half-pink, half-wood effect Richard Branson could only dream of.

Honestly, if people have enough money to buy this, then they won't need it, and probably won't want it. It would be much better if an auction was held on it with the proceeds going to charity or something.

CommanderPig That is a bigger waste of money since the original xbox one.
Damn it. I just paid that for a photo of one on eBay!

Can't shake the feeling that the gold could be used on something that's supposed to be ornamental rather than a gadget that lives under the telly and will be obsolete within 10 years. Not that I'm considering a purchase! Would look good in a Bond villain's lair.

XME If people knew you had this console could you imagine how many would be trying to break into your house just to steal it? Lol but it is a waste of money who cares if it's gold no one online can see it so what does the color matter
It's more for the fact of it being gold and knowing that you have a Gold Xbox One.

Yop That is just a complete waste of money and time. Who in there right mind would spend $10,000 on a gold plated console?
Rich people that want to brag or a collector.

That looks really cool. Although I would just paint mine. There's no way I would pay that much for something I could do for a little amount of money.
