Gold-plated Wii is gift to Queen Elizabeth

It seems THQ really wanted to throw their hats in the "tech-gift giving to the Queen" ring and have decided to bestow upon her Majesty a Nintendo Wii. But this isn't just any old Wii console. Rather, this one's plated in gold.

It seems this fancy gift is a sort of publicity effort for THQ's upcoming Big Family Games. The game is set to be targeted for the entire family and was thought to be the perfect game to give to the Queen.

Plus, the company thought she deserved something better than a standard console, hence the gold-plating. So, really this is obviously just meant to attract attention to the new Big Family Games title, but I still think it's funny to imagine the Queen seeing this gold plated thing arrive.
