Woulden't a Gold Plated Wii get insanely hot?
I guess it's a small price to pay because the thing is FREAKING GOLD!
Probably not, isn't gold an excellent conductor?

Now, if it gets a short circuit . . . . new hairstyle for her Majesty!

Well, when I win the lottery, I will comission the construction of a daimond-encrusted Xbox 360, with a power light carved from emerald (interchangeable with a ruby one, for when it inevitably Red Ring's).

First off this is funny. Secondly I think we the American people should give Obama a gold plated xbox 360 and observe the media frenzy when it red rings. We just need a 3rd world leader to give a gold plated PS3 to and we'll have the full set.

Thirdly the above is sarcastic and I almost feel sorry for the amount of money Nintendo will lose when the queen goes on national television and declares the wii to be a load of garbage.

You're probably right. I never payed much attention in Science, so I'm not the best at determining material's heating properties.

Hmmm...I wonder if this will get as much media coverage as the iPod...
I hope that soon a video pops up on YouTube of the queen throwing a wii-mote through a window. I think that would make my year.

You DO realize that there was a more or less peaceful transition of power between the Monarchy and the current goverment, and certain agreements were made. The country paying to support the Royal Family is a small price to pay for what would have happened if there was actually a civil war oh so many years ago.

Also it's not like they don't do anything, The Royal Family are basically the UK's biggest diplomats. They travel all over the world on goverment business and negotiate. It's not typically described that way, but for all intents and purposes that is what they do. National Ambassadors is probably as good a term as any.

Just my thoughts.

At any rate, I admit to being a bit disappointed by this publicity stunt. It's interesting and all, but I would have gotten more chuckles if say they made a gold plated Wii, attached it to a giant golden rope chain, and then gave it to some Rapper as part of the deal for him to promote them. One of these guys running around acting serious with a giant golden Wii hanging around his neck would be an image that would never die.

Then when I'm like 60 or so and people have forgotten about it, we can laugh at the lawsuit when the impoverished rapper decides to try and sue Nintendo for neck and back injuries resulting from the promotion. >:)


Careful though, it sounds like something Soulja Boy would do without there being any kind of promotional deal worked out.

Seriously guys. Why are you complaining about a gold Wii? Are you saying you would not want a golden Wii?

This really isn't stupid. It's actually a good marketing strategy. Of course, most of us still know that Big Family Games is just shovel ware. However, the Queen can always go out and buy a copy of Mario Kart.

I always saw the queen as a 360 kinda gal
Well just because their celebrities doesn't mean they don't play video games. Have to do something in their spare time. :)

Hard to say which system they're/they'd likely be using though.

The 360 is fairly easy to operate though, so I admit I could see The Queen playing it. Though I imagine no matter what she played it would be fairly shocking given her public persona. Anything from RPGs, to being a highly competitive Street Fighter fanatic would seem odd. :)

Though admittedly if she was online and using the lingo noone would suspect. I mean you can't even envision her trying to talk trash or say "pwned" verbally. :)
