Golden Wii costs £300,000
IF YOU'RE one of the bunch of banksters receiving a ridiculously large bonus payout for helping to bring the financial world to its knees and you're wondering how best to spoil your mistress or pre(co)cious child this Christmas, you need look no further than a Nintedo Wii encased in gold and diamonds.
We'd only just finally managed to stop snickering every time Nintendo's unfortunately named console was mentioned, but needless to say talk around the office of a golden Wii suddenly brought out a host of bad puns. We'll leave you to come up with your own.
Created by Liverpudlian Stuart Hughes - the same guy who brought us the £1.92 million Iphone 3GS Extreme - the Nintendo Wii Supreme takes a standard £165 Wii console and blings it up to the tune of £300,000.
According to Hughes, the console takes six months to make, includes 2,500 grams of solid 22ct gold and has buttons made from 78 flawless 0.25 carat diamonds.
Of course you'll still be stuck using the standard plastic controllers. µ

Would make a dandy door stop.
I would not buy the wiwi for 100 euros... what a waist of resources...
I can think of much better things to do with 300K... if i had them :)
I just loved the beginning of the article about the greedy and immoral bankers . Its so apt and true.
Actually posting a picture of a golden shower oops I mean Wii must be somewhere between a page 2 girl and pr0n.
Diamond buttons... do they still press? And a solid gold wii...what about the wires? Is there any room for them? And are they gold too? I mean I honestly do not see the point if the thing doesnt work!
I mean, if you want it for an ornament then thats fine! You could keep it in a solid gold cabinet with solid gold doors that don't open and with diamond handles so fine that you'd break them if you tried to turn them, and occasionally somehow take it out to show your solid gold banker friends how rich you are. Or, if all else fails, use it as a funky bookstand! But if your looking for an ornament then there must be more tasteful things out there than a games console!
Seems to me, putting a Wii in the equivalent of a Faraday cage might not make it so good at attaching to a WiFi network.
Ah, sod it - if you have 300k to spend on a Wii, you can probably afford the £50 USB ethernet dongle. :)
loves freebies. Im currently working towards a FREE itouch from http://gifts.kudosnetwork.co.uk/69002. Follow the link to do the same!
This is a bling aimed to the VERY rich. A Wii console that cost as much as 2 Ferraris... These people would pay this amount of money happily if they can brag about it later.
Of course the console is fully functional. As for bluetooth and wifi signals, the golden cage can be used as antenna. I wouldn't doubt if SD and gameports lids are spring loaded or even automatic.
They should make the wiimote and nunchuk in carbon fiber or kevlar, as it would be lighter than the original. Solid gold ones would fly like bricks on their 280" Sony 3D flat screens.
Will it blend??
