IF YOU’RE one of the bunch of banksters receiving a ridiculously large bonus payout for helping to bring the financial world to its knees and you’re wondering how best to spoil your mistress or pre(co)cious child this Christmas, you need look no further than a Nintedo Wii encased in gold and diamonds.

Created by Liverpudlian Stuart Hughes – the same guy who brought us the £1.92 million Iphone 3GS Extreme – the Nintendo Wii Supreme takes a standard £165 Wii console and blings it up to the tune of £300,000.According to Hughes, the console takes six months to make, includes 2,500 grams of solid 22ct gold and has buttons made from 78 flawless 0.25 carat diamonds.
Of course you’ll still be stuck using the standard plastic controllers.
My wii is already golden, thank you.
Ever so slightly off topic: What the hell does “solid 22ct gold” mean? Doesn’t mean pure as that would be 24ct. Do we have a choice of buying in covered in fluid gold? Or in a cloud of vaporous gold? Usually when I see the term “solid gold” I think either of bad music collections or something that is made entirely of gold. I’m assuming this is actually some sort of gold plating. So, is it “solid” gold?
There must be a closeout at the Dubai Overstock.com store.
