You Can Pre-Order A $10,000 Gold PS5 This Week

This week you can take self-care to the next level, by treating yo'self to a 24 carat gold PS5 - you're worth it, lads.

Luxury retailer Truly Exquisite is accepting pre-orders from tomorrow (Thursday 10 September) and you can pick from a gold, platinum or rose gold console.

All you need to get your hands on one is a sweet £8099 ($10,500) - small change TBH.

If you want to save a bit of dollar, you can always get a slightly less fancy version for a bit less.

To justify it to yourself, the price includes two matching DualSense controllers, and even a PS5 3D Pulse headset - it's basically paying for itself, isn't it

If you feel like you want and deserve more than just a bog-standard PS5, then this is clearly for you. You even get a 'luxury wooden display box' and free shipping and insurance - bargain.

But the more 'extra' gamers among us will want to act fast - there are 250 of each model and finish to go around and then they're done.

If bling ain't your thing, but you still want something a bit different, the new PS5 is likely to have other finishes - it's just not certain when.

In an interview in July, PlayStation's head of worldwide marketing Eric Lempel was asked whether the games company would be releasing different colours.

With the energy of a parent who is sick of excited kids asking questions, he said: "We'll talk about it at some point. It's a hard enough job to get the unit that we showed out but we'll talk about it at some point."

Earlier this week, it was reported that the PlayStation 5 could release in North America before other regions.

Two updated product pages suggested to fans that the next-gen console will see a staggered launch, releasing on separate dates around the world - just as it did with the PlayStation 4.

Sony is playing its cards close to its chest when it comes to PlayStation 5 pre-orders. A new report suggests that we don't have long to wait though. According to known leaker IronManPS5, you'll be able to put money down on the next-gen console from September 9th - a full 25 years to the day that Sony launched the original PlayStation in the US - that'd make sense wouldn't it?
