Are you flash with cash? More ostentatious than a cheetah speedo (Ladies, wink wink) and used to the good life that gives you a brigadier general level paunch? Then this might be the Xbox One for you.
As spotted by Reddit via CVG, Harrods is decking the halls this season with a very festive Xbox One. Trading the matte and shiny plastic finish of the current console design for some rare metals, the London exclusive version boasts a 24 carat gold case and the envy of all to whoever buys this particular edition.
The price? A cool £6000/$9779, which translates to around R100 864. Enough to buy a tuck-shop at a not-a-compound or about sixteen PlayStation 4’s. Or one hell of a donation to charity which would feed dozens of unfortunate no I can’t keep a straight face when thinking of that yes I am a bastard. Here’s what else you could buy with that much cash:
- Seventeen virgin llamas
- Four million packets of tomato sauce
- Enough alcohol to make Gavin your best friend for 43 minutes
- A cure to Geoff’s various ailments
- Other stuff that I didn’t make up
Worth the price? Who knows, but on the plus side, if you ever fell for that 4Chan Xbox One bricking joke, at least you’d have something worth its weight in gold.

Clearly the guy who owns this thing has some “size” problems.
Same with those idiots who take glorious McLaren SLR’s and goldify them. Just plain sad.

You know when people joke about the XBone because it’s “so massive.. you can kill a man with it”. With a gold-plated xbone you can literally “kill a man with it”… It’s MASSIVE! I wonder if the power brick is also gold-plated because that would make an awesome flail!!

I am sure the engineers who Heat tested the machine for 1 year and designed the current plastic around fast cooling are laughing their asses off.

Besides the fact it is Gold (looks like cheap ass spray paint) How much would this puppy weigh? Also does it even work would be a better question, would it overheat?

Is it just me, or am I the only one who thinks Gold really is an ugly color for…virtually everything but jewelry? Not a fan.
