Sometimes, it is not enough to simply frag your friends and proceed to teabag them over and over again. No, there are times when a more...ostentatious display of your superiority over lesser mortals is required. Allow me to present the Gold Plated Xbox One and PS4 systems.

For the low, low sum of $13,699, you too can bling out a next-gen system as they have never been blinged out before. Italian jeweler Gatti has revealed the two gold systems ahead of the Games14 convention in Dubai and will be sold at the UAE retailer Jumbo Electronics.
According to Gatti's official Instagram, the PS4 console contains 226 grams of 9kt gold and is inspired by the original Tetris. The consoles are designed for the gamer who has everything, which is obviously refers to a Middle Eastern prince. We're going to try and talk to management about acquiring one ourselves, we'll let you know how that goes.

"We are particularly excited to be launching the most unique and valuable gaming consoles in the world at Games14, specially created by Gatti. Available to both Xbox and PS4 fans, the high-end materials and exquisite detailing of the gold consoles make it a great collectible item for gamers who love luxury." Said Nadeem Khanzadah, Head-Retail at Jumbo Electronics. No word on how many units of each system will be made available at this time.
The bigger question, of course, is why? To which the only answer is 'because I can'. To be fair, the reasons for owning a gold plated PS4 and Xbox One are limitless, for instance:
- You can attach a chain to it and wear it around your neck, becoming your alter-ego rapper persona DJ Dual Shock.
- In the inevitable chance the apocalypse comes, you can melt the gold down to trade for your life.
- Additionally, you can also melt the system down to install into your teeth, thus becoming more machine than man.
- Now at every gamer party you go to, you can say you have an Xbox GOLD membership, and crack up each and every single time. No one else will ever find it funny.
- Donate it to a shelter and watch as people struggle to between selling it and being thankful. Hilarity ensues.
See? Don't you kind of want one even more now?
