Need I even mention the problems that gold conducts electricity, and 24K gold is quite soft? You'd make a dent in it and short out the motherboard. |

Given that people are idiots when they have lots of money, it probably could've gone for $50'000
Or, you're all being stupid, because this was on a fucking South Park episode. |

Yes, but consider how much effort goes into making something like that, especially a functional one. It's needlessly expensive, yes, but the estimate isn't exactly ludicrous.... I'd say just mildly overpriced. |

the mopst expensive piece of gold is a golden monopoly board studded with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and othe precious stones... it costs over $3 million... a golden psp wouldn't come anywhere NEAR that |

Not to mention, even if they mean 24 karat gold and it was actually throughout the PSP instead of just a layer over it, it still wouldn't be worth even close to $35,000. |

No, because 25 karat gold doesn't exist.
Karats, as they relate to gold, are a measure of the purity of the gold. 24K gold is considered "pure" gold, and is thus the highest Karat gold available.
Also, I heard this was just a cover for the PSP, but I haven't read this particular article myself.

wow...
hang on, wouldn't a 25 carat gold psp weigh a lot to? and if someone has a HUGE amount of time and money, they could make a platinum PSP with diamond buttons, and the screen could be glittered with many precious coloured gems and stones |

A computer isn't a horribly overpriced and heavy alternate case for something you'll be replacing in 5 years, though.
Originally posted by Bush Hater There is a psp for $35,000 dollars. My brother heard this out on his forum. It said it was made out of gold and there was 25 charrot gold and something else, its crazy no human is going to buy that who would anyway.
Anyone else notice this? 25-carat gold? |

Back in the 50s or 60s, the head of IBM said the same thing about the computer. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? |

Actually, if P.Diddy gets it, chances are that more than 10 people will have it on theirs. If they see one popular star do it, then those who love/follow him, will do the same.
Sorry about not believing in you guys, it was just a bit odd to me that right after seeing that South Park ep, something like this pops up. And it was around April 1st, too, so at any rate, sorry once again. |

Jeez. A link would be nice, even if it was photoshopped we would know.
Settle down. I figured we all knew what we were referring to and were on the same page because "Bush Hater" explained exactly what it was, and "KawaiiImoto-e" confirmed it as well. What Sawnec posted was something interesting, albeit, different.
Christ, I feel like everyone on these forums is picking on me and out to get me these days. I'm so enervated with it at this point... It makes the so-called "posting experience" a lot less "fun" when everybody is at your throat. |

If anyone watched South Park this week, they had a gold PsP, and said that God made it (all the PsP, actually), so they could fine someone (Kenny) who can get to lvl 60 in a game called "Heaven and Hell", and they that person who die, go up to heaven, and command God's army with a gold PsP.
So yea, there is a 97% chance, that this "gold PsP" is a joke. |

Those skins aren't really even close to the fancy expensive gold one. |

Why in emulation because it has to do with emulation.
...Emulating WHAT?!? I don't think you have an idea as to what "emulation" refers to.
