Computer-Choppers is a company that dips electronics in gold. Why? For rich assh*les I guess. The next project from Computer-Choppers was revealed on ChipChick and the company is set to dip five PlayStation 3 Slims (and five controllers) in 24kt gold.
No word on how much the gold dipped PS3 Slims will cost, but Computer-Choppers sells iPhones dipped in gold for over $1,400 and that's just the back casing of the iPhone that's covered in gold. The gold PS3 Slims could very well cost $10,000 when they go on sale.
Yup.

Gold melts at 1064.18 °C, and I'm sure that plastic melts at a lower point....
Is there a certain way that they go about doing this? Can someone inform me? I feel a bit slower today
It will be plated. There are a bunch of slightly different ways stuff can be plated electro-chemically.
I'm waiting for the platinum.
It's over: PS3 is finished!
PS3's rarely overheat.
I dropped mine down the stairs and think i've knocked out a bearing in the fan so I can hear it going from stage 1, to stage 2, to oh my god i can't hear my fucking TV over it and back down to 1/2.
It's insured against accidental damage and they'll fix / replace it but i can't go without it for a week and it's a launch model (that's right 360 people, a console, 4 years old, still works fine) so I certainly don't want it replaced!
But yeah, they rarely overheat.
Overheat? Gold is one of the best conductors on earth. It's a solid heatsink! It will dissipate heat faster than any other console ever created.
@sprldr
The analogs wouldn't have been plated along with the controller casings.
OMFGLOLERSKATESERCOPTER HOWS ABOUT A GOLD-DIPPED WIII? THE ULTIMATE GAMIMG MACHINE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Sir Legendhead, your idiotic console bias is showing. N4G and Hiphopgamer nonsense is THAT way---->
My 60GB launch got the YLoD 4 5 times, today I received an 80GB replacement. I'll alway look at it wishing for yesterday.

But seriously, this is useless. However, there are enough people out there who would buy it for the sake of having it. I mean, take for example, Mike Tyson, back when he was famous and rich and wasn't known for being a raping, ear biting bastard. When Mike Tyson was at the height of his fame, he LITERALLY hired someone, paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars, to follow him around and announce his arrival/departure when ever Tyson entered or left a building. I'm not kidding - Mike Tyson paid someone hundreds of thousands of dollars to serve as his personal announcer. That was his only function. He also bought a rolls-royce covered in diamonds.
As a result, despite making over 300 MILLION dollars through his career, the man is broke and in debt. He is exactly the sort of idiot who would buy this sort of thing.
But seeing as how I cracked a joke on a message board, I'm obviously a fanboy of the other system and blah, blah, blah. Thanks for the comment, the joke's even funnier now that someone got butthurt over it. :)
