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.

If I got this and as soon as tried to play it did not work I would be so mad.
I'd just sell it on ebay for someone to put on display :p

upuserXerophynx Even if you have the money to afford such an item it is a stupid decision. If I had that kind of money I would buy a cheap rolex or save it for a more expensive purchase like a Lamborghini, a gold plated 24k xbox one is such a waste.
Why would you waste your money on a Rolex? What function do watches even serve anymore? Everyone has a cell phone now, most people don't wear watches anymore unless you are 70 years old. Yeah definitely compare a $100,000 to $1,000,000 car to the gold plated xbox one that is around $9000. I'm pretty positive if you were able to shell out that kind of cash for a depreciating cost you would have no problem spending it on the xbox either..
Im 18 and I wear a watch... A Ziiiro Mens Mono Celeste (Black) Spent $200. Watches are better.

mattgeorge You can buy a gold plating machine and do it yourself for less than that.
Yes but how much would it cost to do that. Probably would level out the same.
