Dubai's wealthy gamers can now purchase a gold PS4, Xbox One

4.8
Prominent Dubai retailer Jumbo Electronics has announced plans to unveil custom PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles made of rose gold, claims regional news outlet Emirates 24/7.

According to the report, the console is being crafted by Italian jeweller Gatti and will initially be available for purchase at the ongoing Games14 conference in Dubai. If you're interested in scoring one of these gaudy gaming machines, you'd better bring your wallet: While the tech specs of these special consoles match their plastic counterparts, each machine features a price tag of 50,000 UAE Dirhams - about $13,612 here in the United States.

"We are particularly excited to be launching the most unique and valuable gaming consoles in the world at Games14, specially created by Gatti," Jumbo Electronics head Nadeem Khanzadah told Emirates 24/7. "Available to both Xbox and PS4 fans, the high-end materials and exquisite detailing of the gold consoles make it a great collectible item for gamers who love luxury."

A lot of people are saying everyone in Dubai is rich but its actually not true there is a dark side to Dubai where people are actually very poor. If you have some time read this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7985361.stm

OT: I am sure the the console will overheat a lot since gold is a good conductor

I guess living in Dubai has its perks. Pack your bags mom, we're moving to Dubai.
Back on topic, this is actually quite cool. Reminds me of the "I'm rich app" that cost $1,000 and when you open it there was a picture saying "I'm Rich".

drkmgc Why would anyone need a gold console...


Because it's so you can say you are rich.

OT: I wonder how a full metal case will effect the heat dispersion of the internals?

ODST Most of y'all don't understand that Dubai literally is crapping out money thanks to oil. Everyone is rich. They have a solid gold escalator so why not have a gold console.


If it's oil, aren't they literally pissing out money?

One question... Why?
It'll make it no better of a console, and you don't hardly ever see it unless your putting in a disc!
