PlayStation 5 pre-orders are just around the corner, but if you're willing to splash out and secure one of these next-gen consoles in a decidedly swanky fashion, you can pre-order an opulent 24 karat gold-plated PlayStation 5 for the eye-catching price of £7,999 (a little over $10,400 USD). After the initial PlayStation 5 showcase this past June, hype for the console has undoubtedly mounted as Sony poises for its release in time for the 2020 holiday season.

Members of the console gaming community have been waiting with bated breath at the chance to ensure they'll have a brand new console on release day. The only recourse at present is effectively a sign-up system for existing PlayStation users to receive an email inviting them to pre-order, although no such invitations have gone out as of yet. The facts remain unclear, but leaks have indicated that Sony plans on making these pre-order invitations available as soon as this week. With rumors circulating that PS5 units will have limited stock leading up to release, it could be that pre-orders will be the only surefire way to end release day with a PS5 in hand.

That is, unless you have a serious penchant for gaudy presentation and overspending on electronics. According to a tweet from Twitter user Wario64, customers can pre-order the PlayStation 5 24K Gold Edition on Thursday, September 10th. The source of this particularly hard-to-get pre-order is of course not Sony, but a luxury customization brand specializing in personalizing sneakers, cell phones, and gaming consoles with various precious metals and Swarovski crystals. Based in the United Kingdom, Truly Exquisite is no doubt trying to corner the market of incredibly rich and extravagant gamers who absolutely cannot be bothered to take their chances pushing through the rabble on release day.

There are a number of options that cater to the distinguished upper-class gamer. They include the Digital PS5 ranging from £7,999-£8,199, and the Disc PS5 for £8,099-£8,299, each available in gold, rose gold, and platinum. But that's not all - by throwing in a little bit more chump change, players can secure a gold-plated PS5 DualSense controller for £649, and a similarly gilded PS5 headsets for only £399. All of these items are solid essentials for those looking to relax in their yachts, penthouse apartments, and palatial mansions after a long day of multinational board meetings and reviewing quarterly profit projections.

Jokes aside, the concern over the availability of consoles seems to be well-founded, though it is hard to say that any regular Sony customer would be desperate enough to shell out that kind of money for a next-gen console, let alone a pre-order. Everyone will simply have to do what they can as PS5 pre-orders become available. But, if this particular PS5 price tag seems a bit too steep, rest assured that all international shipping is free.
