    The lengths THQ will go through to promote a shovelware game are phenomenal.

    At least it wasn't tax money...

    Still, wouldn't a Gold-plated Wii be kinda heavy and be prone to overheating?

        Am I the only one that suddenly had visions of a Wii "Waving" game?

        Unlock the Queen of England after you wave at 100,000 people? >_>

          Better patent that quick. Nintendo might just stumble on this page and see your "brilliant" idea. Next thing you know "Wii Wave" is an internatioal phenomenon, outselling all other games 3:1.

    Well, as Cruxis stated, the Queen waves alot.

    So, the Wii is perfect for her, as all you do on that is wave your arms around.

      Well, if I remember correctly, there is a room where they put the many gifts she receives.

      Basically, it is a treasure/gift room.

      Probably millions of dollars worth of gifts in there >_>

    Over the top much? xD
    The only good thing is that she could sell the gold plating.

    I'm surprised Japan hasn't already released a diamond-crusted Hello Kitty Wii.
