Thats crazy stuff.
Wow… I guess… 2500g = ~ 88 oz. Gold @ ~ $1100 USD/oz= $96 800 worth of shimmer plating, but it’s still not dust-proof…
No it isn’t ! Also gold tarnishes and loses its shine, how much will it cost to have its brilliance put back ?
It seems Netflix will finally find its way on to the Nintendo Wii (currently the only console without the rental streaming service). http://mashable.com/2010/01/08/netflix-on-nintendo/
