I was browsing around on the internet and came across this article at yahoo. Apparently, some company out there, can't remember what the name was, is selling 24 karat gold PS3s and they are going for $4999 each. This has got to be one of the craziest things I've heard recently. I mean, a regular one is going for $299 or something like that so who in their right mind would buy one of these. I don't even think those hardcore playstation fans would be willing to buy these. There are definitely better ways to spend that money. So, what do you think?

Without a doubt if money weren't a thing to me I would buy one... I mean that's so badass lol. I know it's disgusting, but I have to live up to my American stereotypes lol, and you have to admit that it's pretty cool hahaha. I would rather have platinum and blood diamonds though (joking). Cheers!

Hahaha...American stereotypes huh?...I guess you're right there. We Americans are never frugal with our money haha...You know with the price of gold so high maybe this might not be such a bad investment. I'd never do it but I'm sure someone might be thinking along that line.

Yeah I saw the article on yahoo too and I was quite shocked. I'm not quite sure why someone would want one of those but I know for sure that there is someone out there that would just absolutely have to have one of those things. I wouldn't. I don't even own a PS3 and at this rate probably never will.

I can understand. The regular one is too expensive for me. But I can actually see some hardcore playstation fanatic buying this thing for the sake of having it. I wouldn't be able to play on it if I bought it. It would be displayed under a glass case or something.

I think that people shouldnt be spending their money on something so stupid. Buy a normal PS3 if you need to and give all that extra money you use as toilet paper to Charity or something that will help the world out.

I find $5,000 too much money for anything gaming related. Video games are expensive enough. To pay $5000 just so your PS3 has 24 kart gold is outrageous. Some people have too much and too much time on their hands.
