Getting a

PlayStation 5

before Three Kings Day is at the level of Schwarzenegger's journey in 'A father in distress' searching by land, sea and air for a Turbo-Man doll.

Speculation is maximum if you take a look at second-hand markets where this new console reaches up to twice its starting price.

On the websites of the main stores in Spain, stock lasts seconds and outside our borders it does not look better.

A group of speculators called CrepChiefNotify acquired

3,500 PS5

and 1,000 Xbox Series X. Thanks to bots, the members of this organization manage to bypass the preference of virtual queues and add more orders than allowed per user on the web pages as they come out stock.

Although both mass orders were canceled by the store where they were purchased, the supremacy of bots remains undeniable, present as a solution for many private users.

And if it is so difficult to buy a PS5, imagine a limited edition gold PlayStation.

In September, the British luxury brand Truly Luxury opened the reservation period for a 24-karat gold-plated PS5 for 8,960 euros, with a controller and 3D Pulse headphones with the same finish.

The Russian company of accessories and luxury devices Caviar Royal Gift launches a challenge and presents an even more exclusive version of the console, expensive and within the reach of very few.

The PlayStation 5 Golden Rock.

As can be read on the website itself, the body of the console is covered in 18 karat gold made from 8 plates cast in this precious material.

A luxurious design that is repeated in the DualSense controller whose ends are covered in real crocodile skin.

Taking into account that this console already has generous dimensions, of the 5 kilos that it weighs in its edition 'for the commoners', the jewel of Caviar is placed at 20 kilos.

The price has not been disclosed but by calculating only the materials that compose it, not counting the hours of work, it is easy to estimate a minimum price.

A kilo of gold is between 49,000 and 50,000 euros, so if the console is made from 20 kilos of this material, without adding the costs of the brand, shipping or accessories, this PS5 would exceed one million euros.

For the same price you could buy a McLaren Senna, two Ferrari SF90 Stradales or three Lamborghini Aventador.

It is to think about it.

This edition is so limited that they will only make one and considering its price, it is not something to the height of mortals.

Will this true collector's item end up in the Kremlin, Trump Tower, or in the home of some unknown tycoon?

Whether Putin, Trump or an anonymous billionaire is the 'gamer' who enjoys this next-gen console wrapped in gold, the rest of us have no choice but to dream of much more modest Christmas gifts.
