At Trend Hunter, we said that we've become bored with bling, but here's an exception. Some dude pimped out their Wii console with some fancy looking Swarovski crystal designs. To me it is a bit counter intuitive maybe because, in a small minded way, I tend to look at hard core gamers as sweaty young men/women, deep into phase number 26 or whatever of their game, who'll have no interest in a game console like that. But, what do I know? The blinged out Wii has Super Mario on the front and a browser on the back. The retail price is $4,000.
Here's way more bling (if that's your thing):
