I'm no expert, but I think an Xbox One with a solid gold would cost more than $10,000. Haha.

I know, I was replying to his thought about it being solid gold and I was saying that if it was solid gold it would have been more than $10,000. Just a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit more. =)

Thanks guys
I don't know the value of the gold not do I know the weight of the plastic covers so I was unable to guess whether that was a good price or not as how could you possibly find the weight of gold that was inside it?

Valid question, and it's one that is answered in the way of old maths text books!

Basically, gold plating has a general 'thickness' to it dependant on the karat of the gold, in this case you would have to know the surface area involved (tricky to work out due to nooks and crannies in the surface, but not impossible) and then you could work out the coating from here.

Source: My step father is a picture framer and a lot of his frames are plated in a similar way.

this is actually interesting, when would it decrease in value? when gold prices drop? or when the item becomes old and unwanted?

Default Re: Titanfall x1 console

Wow, makes me want this and I don't even know why. Never played COD on console before but did try Black Ops on PC and it made me dizzy lol.

Good to hear they will also do a White Xbox One later this year, I really want a white pad like the one for the Microsoft Team.

I do like the boxart of Titanfall console and controller boxes, had a nice colour scheme going on.

At least I have a Day One edition for now.
