A Limited Edition 24K Gold-Plated PS5 Will Be Released This Year

A Limited Edition 24K Gold-Plated PS5 Will Be Released This Year

It looks like a limited edition 24K gold-plated PlayStation 5 is going to be released later this year. And no, it won't be cheap.

Though many of us are in tough financial straits at the moment, those that can afford it can now blow a few wads of cash on a 24K gold-plated PlayStation 5. Just feast your eyes on what this ultimate expression of gaming luxury looks like:

Tempted? Well, if so, then you might want to get in touch with Truly Exquisite. The company, who label themselves on their website as the 'UK's Premier Luxury Customising Brand', are the ones behind the decadently decked out gaming system.

If recent events have left your wallet lighter than usual, though, don't worry - they'll also be offering a cheaper 18K rose gold edition and a platinum version.

The price of said product hasn't, as yet, been revealed, but is expected to be 'a few thousand British pounds'. Which, given how much bog-standard Nintendo Switches have been fetching during quarantine these past few months isn't, perhaps, quite as much as it could be.

As reported by Metro, there was a solid gold edition of the PS4 released in Dubai six years, which was being sold for a mouth-watering £8,400 ($10,600). Since this PS5 is only gold-plated, it should be significantly cheaper.

Truly Exquisite told the same publication the souped-up console would 'most probably' be released in December, with around 100 of them available worldwide. You can register your interest here, with more information on pre-orders coming soon.

It's uncertain how much involvement with the product Sony is going to have - it doesn't look like much at all, if any - but Truly Exquisite seems particularly excited about the new product.

A statement its website reads: "We can not wait to start custom making these true beauties. Stay tuned and register your interest as we will have more information of pre orders and distribution soon."

The company also offers gold-plated Samsung S20s, Apple Watches, iPhones, iPads and more on their site. We know what we're putting on our Christmas list. After this year, it's the least we deserve.
