crystallized consoles - The Latest Craze in the Console World

 crystallized consoles, How Far would you go?.

Why would anyone want a standard Gaming console, when you can get it crystallized to become the ultimate Gaming machine on the planet. Around the world people are going crazy for crystallized consoles.

For many years now people around the world have been applying different skins and accessories to there Gaming console in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. Skins for things like the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and many more consoles,  have become more and more popular as time has gone on.

Like everything theses days, you will always get someone that take things to the next level. For some people plastic skins that simply clip on to your console simply wasn't good enough, this is how crystallized consoles were born. Check out this picture below of a Xbox 360 that has been fully crystallized by Crystalroc.

Crystalroc said they used more than 11,520 individual Swarovski crystals (That's a lot of bling) taking somewhere in the region of 70 pain staking hours to complete. The fully crystallized Xbox 360 console, was designed for the use of a PR campaign for Microsoft themselves and unfortunately will probably never go on sale. This is a trend that really has started to catch on as you can see in the next image below.

This time the fully Crystallized Xbox 360 kinect was created by a company called DsStyles, DsStyles created this work of art to sell to the general public for just a small $632, although once again unfortunately not on sale anymore.





It doesn't stop there my friends, people couldn't have the Xbox 360 robbing all the lime light. Nintendo had a custom made Nintendo Wii fully covered with over 20,000 Swarovski crystals to celebrate the release of Super Smash Brawl, The console was offered up to the winner of the Super Smash Bros regional tournament.

crystallized consoles may look the part, but my gosh do you need to part with some dollar to get hold of some of the best looking consoles on the planet. Take the Nintendo Wii in the picture below, covered in 2,500 grams of solid 22ct gold, and If that isn't good enough for you the front buttons are made from 78 x 0.25 ct Flawless diamonds which totals 19.5 ct. The appropriately named Nintendo Wii Supreme, would set you back a mere £299,995 (OMFG!!)

With all said and done have far should you go before it gets stupid, I mean once you remove the fancy diamonds or the gold cover, you are left with a standard Gaming console as it was intended to be. Can anyone really ever justify paying £299,995 for a Console that would cost you £150 tops. Although I can see the appeal, I think that crystallized consoles on the whole look rather ugly ( although I wouldn't say no if someone wanted to give me one) however with modern way society the way it is theses days and everyone trying to out do everyone else I can't see it stopping anytime soon, and can only see it getting more and more popular as time goes on.
