The Playstation 5 is currently the most popular game console in the world. While you can buy one in-store for around $ 500, scalpers sell PS5s for over $ 1,000 online (and people pay those prices). The search for the system is due to Sony’s “shortage” of stock. The company replenished the system as soon as possible, but they remain sold out. And with the ongoing pandemic closing electronic stores, it has made the hunt even more difficult for gamers.

For those more lavish gamers, who have millions to spare, there is a wonderful custom option offered by Caviar. The catch is, there is only one. You can own a Playstation 5 coated with 20 pounds of 18 karat gold for an unknown price. The seller just has a contact, but as with most lavish things on this planet, if you have to ask for the price, you can’t afford it. At least that seems to be their motto.

The gold plated sits on top of crocodile leather, which gives the glossy console and interesting texture and contrast. Called the “Golden Rock”, this modified Playstation 5 is beautiful.

Currently, the price of just one kilogram of 18 karat gold is at $ 45,000. With this PS5 rocking 20 pounds, that’s nearly a million dollars in gold. Then you add the $ 500 price tag for the console itself. And, of course, the buyer also pays for the artist’s time to create the piece, and the rarity of being the only one created. This means we’re probably looking at a $ 5-10 million work on gaming art here.
