The latest craze in the world of limited editions is a PS5 bathed in 20 kilos of 18-karat gold that is valued at 900,000 euros.
First were the Airpods Max Gold (the gold-plated helmets, lined with crocodile skin and valued at 108,000 euros). Then came the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (solid gold, laser engraved and priced at 63,000 euros). And in third place, the Nike Air Jordan Victory Gold, of 15,000 “vinchis”. But now it’s up to the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, the MOAB, the last member of the Four Fanstastics. We present the definitive PlayStation 5 model. If we hadn’t got hold of the console yet, it wasn’t because of a lack of stock, but because we were waiting for this special edition. It is called PS5 Golden Rock, it weighs 20 kilos more than the version for poor people (sorry, we wanted to say the standard version) and it has 8 18-karat gold sheets around it that simulate with its design “the geometry of the gold mineral” . Almost nothing.
This is next gen.
Behind this madness there is a company called Caviar and it is of Russian origin. And although we could leave the explanation here because with these two data it is not necessary to say much more, perhaps it is worth adding that Caviar is a luxury objects company that has been dedicated for many years to the world of collector’s editions, where they are well known its eccentric limited editions. As limited as that, in the case of PS5 Golden Rock, only one copy will go on sale, accompanied by two Dualsense controllers with crocodile skin and gold buttons. Let’s see who is the smart one that now throws them against the wall after losing online.
The controls a 007 villain would use.
Although they have not given a price, some brave people have dared to calculate it based on the values of gold in the United States (where a kilo is close to 45,000 dollars). The first estimates speak of a sum of $ 900,000, a figure that is not so far-fetched seeing the prices reached by the standard PS5 in Wallapop, where they seem to move by similar scales. In any case, it is not the first time that we come across similar follies in the video game industry, where we have seen avatars for PS4 of 100 euros and computer keyboards of 100,000 euros. As they would say in The Simpsons, all crazy.
