A post on Reddit has shown a rather ostentatious gold PlayStation 4 Slim, paired with an equally snazzy gold Dualshock 4 controller. The post, which was created by an employee from retailer Target, suggest the new console may go on sale next week, just in time for E3.
Eurogamer have backed up the image saying the believe the console to be genuine.

And i bet it shall cost…..
ONE HUNDRED BILLION GAZILLION TRILLON yen. *Dun duuu dun du. dun du* It’s the Dr Evil theme!
Seriously, gold? Most of the time, it comes off as cheap tacky crap that seem that if you sneeze, it will self destruct and suplex itself repeatly until there is nothing left.

I wouldn’t buy a console, or anything, just for it’s colour but there must be plenty that do or companies wouldn’t bother.

I take it it’s just the same plastic, coloured gold, and not an actual gold metal casing? Now that I’d like.

Every time I see a coloured controller I always feel that the black touch pad jars with the rest of the pad. Why can’t they match the touch pad to the rest of the controller? Surely it wouldn’t be too difficult

Eurogamer haven’t really, have they? They’ve just commented on the rumour/source and reached out to Sony. Or am I missing something?

Also, when I arrived in the USA (this morning) to accept my new job (conveniently at Target) I noticed this. It’s to attract women gamers or women who identify as women and …um… men who want to woo women over to their basements. Yep. That’s it. :-P

I didn’t like the job. Back now.

I demand Sony make that and market it at women. Just because the Amazon reviews would be as entertaining as that time someone thought “pens for ladies” was a good idea.

Hah! But you brought one back for the dungeon, right?

Goldie-looking console, this one’s for the chavs!
The Lone Steven
Nah. Chavs would nick it and spray it gold.
Probably is for Donald Trump.

Are there any Russian games consoles? Maybe that’s the connection? Late night co-op with Putin.
ron_mcphatty
Yep!

I can’t believe it. We’ve uncovered the connection between the Trump Administration and the Russian Government… Dendy.

Someone should inform the BBC and CNN immediately. They’ll print any old nonsense if it fits with their agenda.
