They say that “everything that shines is not gold”, but in the case of this gold-plated PS5, that maxim is not maintained. And it comes from the British luxury brand Truly Exquisite, which has a habit of uniting technology in precious metals.
So if you have a wad of cash that would make Scrooge McDuck envious of envy, then you can get a 24-carat gold or platinum-coated PS5 when it launches at the end of the year. It will likely cost several thousand dollars or pounds, so if you want to save a few batteries there will be an 18-carat rose gold version, though you will have to bear the embarrassment of being a fancy stingy or just partially exquisite. .
There is no official price for the hidden PS5 console, but as Truly Exquisite founder Kunal Patel said, “probably no more than 100 pieces will be released worldwide.” Therefore, we suspect that the gold-plated PS5 will cost at least the value of six iPhone 11 Pro Max phones.
In 2013, a 24-carat gold-plated Xbox One was offered for £ 6,000, nearly $ 8,000, at the luxury store Harrods. As such, we would expect a truly exquisite treatment PS5 to be of the same amount or more.
While the design of the PS5 has certainly divided opinion, you really should absolutely love the aesthetics of the console, but hate its dual-tone color scheme to ensure you’re covered in gold or platinum. Or you may have more money than sense.
Sony has said that the PS5 will come with many custom finishes after launch, but this is probably not what you had in mind.
Even if you’re willing to spend the money on a golden PS5, it’s worth noting that the PS5 emits 10.28 teraflops of power. That’s a lot more than current-generation consoles, which would probably explain why the PS5 is so big – it needs plenty of room to cool its powerful components.
We are not experts in thermodynamics, but we think that coating a PS5 with gold will not make its cooling very good; Gold is a decent conductor of heat, but it won’t do much good outside of the console.
If you really want to ‘decorate’ your PS5 game setup, then perhaps the way to go is to get one of the new Marantz AV receivers that promise to boost the PS5’s audio. Or just save money and get an Xbox Series X to play all the games announced at the last Xbox 2020 event.
