While agree this is over the top let me guess. You are a tree hugging feminist who hates men and their evil penises'.

[citation][nom]demonhorde665[/nom]this is teh kind of article that makes me say WTF ??? i mean seriously that is amassive waste of 22 k gold , think of how many peices of jewlery you make with that gold its a por use of metal resources not to mention the folks buying one would be obscenely rich to the point of it being disgusting ..hell most rich folks don't even buy shit liek this , it's why they are still rich. and this is not jealousy .. either .. i don't even like gold (i like silver more) it's jsut a poor use of a rare metal in my opinion and that is what disgust me , particularly when there a so many impoverished peopel in the US and the UK./ the only thign that disgust me more than this , are those info comercials that talk about sending money to foriegn countrie's poor , when we got plnety of poor folks right here on our door step. this is jsut plain obscene , every oen workign at that company needs to be kicked in the nuts![/citation]

jewelry is a better use of gold...lol , oh to be aesthetically obsessed

This truly is the American Dream. Freedom to do what you want, when you want, and how you want to do it.

But, I don't see anywhere that says the buyer of one of these PS3s has never donated money to poor people, small or large. What it does say is that this person has MORE money then they could probably spend in a couple lifetimes.

Another thing, this is one persons method of enjoyment/hobby. Most people have hobbies. And many people would like to spend lots of time on their hobby if they didn't have to work. Some like model cars/airplanes, others like traveling, some like buildings, some like Sheep, and then their are those who like to own GOLD this, Gold that, etc... If this was your hobby, how would you feel if people didn't like the fact that you spent a couple hundred/thousand on a hobby?

THis is like saying, All of you who mod your computers, instead of spending all that extra cash to get hundres of GBytes of space/etc.. Why not buy a barebones system that does just what you need (Games are hobbies - So huge graphics/sound/etc.. are not needed either as they are NORMALLY used for Entertainment), and give the rest of your money to the poor?

This is the best example I can give, but it is one worth thinking about before posting comments explaining the misuse of resources/money/etc...

I do believe this is a case of "because I can"

Or because HE can, rather.

I can buy plenty of PS3's for that price, or get my hands on PC versions of PS3 games, and play it on 5 LCD panels with the world's fastest gaming console for the user!

Absolutely. For all points.

Once again, absolutely right and hit it on the head.

Not to mention for those who bring up such petty points, if only three are ever made, how is this a horrendous waste of gold, really? With around 30 kilotons or so in use on the planet what kind of ridiculous complaint is this? As if six-figure jewlery or designer clothes are any less wasteful in that sense.

Next up: let's all complain about the waste of canvas and paint put in to a million-dollar Picasso on auction, the number of wasted man-hours invested to manufacture a yacht when those workers could have, say, joined the Peace Corps instead, and that video games, the production of which (incidentally) usually exceeds the value of this PS3 many times over are are subverting our youth from being productive citizens and robbing societies of their pool of willing armies of community-service volunteers. Yeah...um...ok. Unless you plan on spending the better part of your life in a rectory, righteous indignation in this regard is a tad hypocritical.

Money spent on this does help the poor. All those poor gold miners have to get paid.

 

[darkknight22]

I'll take 2 please.

This is pretty ridiculous even for a rich guy because even if he really wanted a unit made of gold he could mold the case hisself (or arrange a deal with a local goldsmith) put the diamonds in and get away with about a third of what this one costs.

 

[FoShizzleDizzle]

Really, this is the best use they can make with their money...? I guess all the starving and diseased people around the world aren't as important as gold plated consoles. This is why society is doomed.

 

[cookoy]

couldn't wait for that rich fool to junk the stuff when PS4 comes along

 

[Guest]

those diamonds are really placed in the perfect position.. around the disc slot... just make sure you're real steady when inserting a disc

The reminds me of the central banks and foreign governments being ripped off with gold plated tungsten bars sold from the US government. How else would FT. Knox have the nick name old FT. Tungsten. 400oz bars ($700billion worth).
