Gold Sony PS3 Supreme is the Most Expensive One in the World

Range — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:30:31 +0000

You can say what you want, but the golden glitter of this PS3 will draw anyone’s eye. This will undoubtedly be the world’s most expensive PS3 since it’s partially made out of gold.

This golden PS3 is the brainchild of Stuart Hughes, who released this wonder after his Nintendo Wii Supreme, which was worth almost half a million dollars.

The PS3 Supreme is made out of 56 ounces of 22-karat gold. It features a diamond-studded disc loading slot, which includes 58 diamonds, for an impressive 26-carats of gems. There will only be three made in the world, so if you daddy’s trust fund allows you to, you should probably hop to it.

The only thing more astounding than the amount of gold included in this is its price: £199,995 ($319,104 USD). I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s going to be a bidding war between oil barons and trust fund kids, to see who gets to brag to their friends about their PS3 being the world’s most expensive one.

Hughes has got only one thing left to do – create a golden Xbox 360.

Superior Watch Should Probably be Renamed

The “Superior Watch” from Kyle Cherry looks like a minimalist bracelet with LEDs but is, of course, a sneaky watch. The top row is for hours and the bottom row is for minutes.

The website says that each watch is custom-made. That tells you right there it’s expensive. Next it talks about diamonds. Double cha-ching.

But what is the watch made from? On the website they claim that it’s “made from the strongest materials that man can make.” Soooo… what exactly would that be? The X-Men fan in me is thinking Admantium, but if that were the case why wouldn’t they just say it? Also, why doesn’t this watch have retractable claws that can cut through anything? That would definitely help make it superior in my book. But I digress.

This watch is the latest in the current timepiece trend that I describe as “let’s make a watch that doesn’t look like a watch with blinky lights that confusingly sort of tell you what time it is, sometimes.” Most people I know just use their cellphones to tell time and don’t even wear watches, so it’s unclear to me who is buying all of these crazy wrist-based timepieces, but if there’s a market for them then I should probably go glue-gun some LEDs and some claws to a lanyard and get into business.

Bling This: Diamond-Studded Camera and Memory Stick

It’s just what you need: a memory stick and camera studded with hundreds of diamonds!

The accessories are a collaborative effort between Dalumi, LG, and Ricoh. They’re made with white gold and more than 200 diamonds each. The camera is a mere $25,000 and the memory stick a reasonable $10K. Which, of course, is SO worth it. What a great use of thousands of dollars! I mean, why buy a car when you could have this?
