If the Queen of England were to an avid gamer, her console would be no less than a dazzling one with none to match its kind. Now, since most gaming consoles are equally good, the technical tweaking isn’t what we are looking at. Enter THQ, one of the most popular developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software. Well, the brand has created one of its kind version of Wii completely soaked in the yellow of gold.

The very unique gaming console reached Buckingham Palace in all its splendor along with some new games. Indeed a good marketing strategy by THQ as it readies itself to launch BIG Family Games for the Wii. The company’s rep was heard saying that the BIG concept brings together everyone in the family from grandparents to small children.

Pricing for the pure gold case first shown at the Sony Pret a PSP event earlier this year has been set — and it ain’t cheap. The case, designed by the wife of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, will run you $35,000. Available this holiday season, the Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons PSP case is made out of a pound of gold, alligator skin, and is encrusted with seven carats of yellow and black diamonds.

Sometimes you are hard pressed for answers that do not come to you easily. For instance, I am still not able to understand why anybody would want to get a console made in gold, or studded with diamonds. You would only play video games with a console, and not impress fashionistas with it, right? If you got this gold plated PS3, all you might be able to do is impress geeks that love video games, and that is nowhere close to being elite or chic.

The Goldstriker team however has not really got the point and have now coated the PS3 with 1600 grams of solid gold. Moreover, it even comes with 26 carat’s worth of diamonds and it required 12 weeks of hardwork. With just 3 of these PS3 Supremes available, there might may many gold hungry geeks who would want to buy it.

More than a question of taste and listening pleasure, every guitar player has their favorite guitar features like a non-slip grip, colorful paint job, thickness and very rarely seen – the fully gold-plated guitar. This gorgeous looking guitar was custom made by a mystery English celebrity living in Monaco. Plated in 24-carat gold by a metal specialist firm in Glastonbury, Somerset, it costs a “four-figure” sum for stripping down the aluminum guitar and then layering it with gold plate. Doesn’t matter if this guitar gets wasted at a party but compliments for salvaging this thing with the sensitive artistic angle.
