Consumer electronics bling-modder Stuart Hughes has transformed the $200 Wii into a £299,995 ($491,000) console. The device took six months to convert, and features 2,500 grams of 22 carat gold and 19.5 carats of diamonds on the buttons. Only three units were made. Some of you out there ma...
Wii Warm Up: To Bedazzle or not to Bedazzle
Yesterday we showed you the major award given to a Smash Bros. tournament winner: a Wii covered in Swarovski crystals, which formed the images of Mario and Bowser. It was obviously worth a pile of money, and has value as a collectors' item on top of the value of all the crystals and the work put i...
Wii Warm Up: Choose wisely, choose well
Yesterday, we talked about three very different approaches to customizing the Wii: a Lego zapper, a very shiny Wii, and a Photoshopped concept for a steampunk-style concept (v. old school). Today, the question we must ask is clear: which would you prefer? It comes down to a question of style: are yo...
Blinged out Zelda Wii is absolutely luscious
This Wii mod was made with Swarovski crystals, but if it had been made with a glue gun and some rhinestones from the dollar store, we'd probably still want it. Aside from drooling over the fact that it's just so shiny, the infusion of Zelda related goodness earns it an extra special place in our...
The ultimate gaming bling: diamond encrusted PS controller
This black diamond encrusted PS controller is the most blinged up gaming item we've seen in quite some time. A gift for a friend of blog Boy Genius Report, this controller looks one part cool, one part tacky, and all parts uncomfortable. Like friendship, this is the kind of fandom that only money c...
Bling-tastic Game Boy makes us weak in the knees (and wrists)
Holy excess, Batman! Featuring a level of bling that would make Snoop Dogg wince, this one-off, solid 18 karat gold Game Boy comes with a diamond-encrusted screen border, diamond set on/off buttons, and weighs more than twice as much (27 ounces) as the original version (11.2 ounces). It was commi...

EA is giving you the chance this season with a customizable, unlockable "Ring of a Champion" that you can actually order from Jostens -- ring maker of the Super Bowl ring ... and countless graduation rings across the nation.

DS Daily: Stylus Bling
The DS Phat's stylus was anemic. The DS Lite's stylus is serviceable. But is it good enough for you? We've seen quite a few people use far larger styluses, perhaps meant for a tablet laptop or giant ... touch-screen ... thingy. We've seen pimped out versions. We've seen accusatory gesture versions. ...
Nintendo raises profit forecast....again
Nintendo's stock has been going up like ... like, um ... like Apple's stock! But not even the bookies could predict such a dominating performance (sorry, I just couldn't resist that link ... go Gators!), and as such, Nintendo has had to once again raises its profits forecast thanks to extremely stro...
