For the gamer who has everything and then some, United Arab Emirates retailer Jumbo Electronics plans to sell PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with a genuine rose gold case designed by Italian jeweler Gatti (via Emirates 24/7).

The custom consoles were unveiled this past weekend at Games14, the Middle East’s premiere gaming trade show in Dubai. “The most unique and valuable gaming consoles in the world” will cost you a mere $13,699, or Dh50,000. The consoles are identical to their native, plastic counterparts under the hood, although it is not clear whether the metallic case will have any impact on system cooling.

The gilded consoles can join the likes of bejeweled iPhones and imported ice cubes as products for luxury-minded consumers that need to be reminded at all times how rich they are.

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like
An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
