"Alright, who switched it for a spray-painted controller???"
Why does the finish on the back look like a nutsack 😂
When Linus said he didn’t have to take it where it could get stolen he meant work lol
I think that if he makes a video melting it then it would be a very popular video he makes money off the video and the controller
Damn the wife is super harsh! Didn’t even enjoy it a bit!
Linus is very small next to the wife when they talk about spending money :D :D :D :D
5:55 haha 😂 😂😂😂 I caught that one
“Maybe we can melt it down and sell it to get the money back ?” Like thats the most woman and mommiest thing ever
should see what gamestop will offer for it.
In the past money was a representation of a real quantity of gold. When this controller get melted all the golden foil shirts will loose its real value becoming useless.
One of the best LTT videos I've seen in a long time, was refreshing to see Linus getting roasted hard.
actually if linus just held the GME stock he could have sold breakeven at a point :D
I bet post Malone would buy it 😜😊😊😊
@Hacksmith gold is heavy but tungsten is heavier
Yvonne's comments were very funny
just sell it to Logan Paul
Linus should just write if of as a business expense when he does his taxes.

Is the "No Love, No Liao" a reference to the fact that he has a LED that says "Live, Laugh, Liao" on it? lol

It’s going to suck when it gets drift
Speaking of milking it: Make an auction for 30min of playtime with it for the next LTX!

I thought Canada used metric?
She is Singaporeans. Her family lives in Siglap.
lol...a kilos of bad decision
Imagine it starts drifting 😖

Not gonna lie. why didnt they use an ELITE controller.

12:25 hehe nice convincing the others to agree.
It absolutely should be melted. Rich people making gold plated shit is a dumb waste of resources

Anthony was making a joke about it being at least 69.99 for an Xbox controller. Not guessing 69k in total lmao
T•h•a•n•k•s f•o•r w•a•t•c•h•i•n•g A•d•v•i•s•e•r***/p•r•o•f•e•s•s•i•o•n•a•l***/b•r•o•k•er*** @W•h•a•t•s•A•p•p. +•1•9•1•4•2•5•7•3•5•1•0..
"Mass + Velocity = Force" I feel like I shouldn't be offended, but I am.
Take It To Game Stop And See What They Would Offer You For It Bahahaha!
Can I connect a ducky 1 2 mini keyboard to Acer predator triton 500?
T•h•a•n•k•s f•o•r w•a•t•c•h•i•n•g A•d•v•i•s•e•r***/p•r•o•f•e•s•s•i•o•n•a•l***/b•r•o•k•er*** @W•h•a•t•s•A•p•p. +•1•9•1•4•2•5•7•3•5•1•0..
i actually tough u got a more hot and cute wife shame linus ruined ur life
Yvonne is brutal af 😂
Melt it and make a good case
Madison: "This controller is soooo cool." Also Madison :"There's birds in the game."
Why melt it? It's an investment. See it from an investment viewpoint. Gold price is not going down. You can later sell this for like tripple the price when gold price is high. Plus I bet some collector would pay more for just the controller alone.
Now you can work out your hands while playing a game for the price of a car or two
His wife is on to something though. While it would be cool to keep, if they sold the controller itself, they could probably get even more off of it than if they melted it. Molded gold like that, with all the man hours, should be worth more than just reselling the bar
Auction + lft = win
no one tell his wife that for under $40, you could have a solid gold controller (including thumbsticks) by visiting amazon
So the 100 pound bag of chocolate was delivered to Colton's house, way out of town, the delivery guy had to look for his hidden fancy front door, AND his pregnant wife had to receive it. Dbrand, huh, what weird folks to have as a sponsor
13:13 some part of linus died
people don’t give a shit if it’s solid gold or brass plated because the appeal is in the craftsmanship and creativity
@2:53 If they laughed that much at that guess of $1,000, my guess of $300 to $500... Yeah I don't even know what reaction that would have gotten 😂
It doesn't really lose value so keep it until the novelty wears off and then melt it and sell it, or just sell it as it is. There must be someone somewhere who is willing to pay a decent price for it.
So... how heavy was it? 1 or 2 kilograms?
Bruh i dont own a console but use my controller like once a year, all these lmg noobs only got one finger for the bumper and trigger what
omg linus is gonna freak out when he sees the prices of the golden controllers from aliexpress, aaahahahaha what a loser
Who is the one speaking behind the camera ?
Linus Tech Tips - Auction it get your money back and give any profit away to charities....
Finally someone gives the reference of "Mass Effect" 🔥🔥
A piece of art.
Worth infinitely more in controller form than melting all that workmanship back into the raw material.
Linus. You officially have to much money to spend.
I'm assuming 87,000 was 69,000 plus insurance for recasting if needed
Imagine getting controller drift
are you telling me there is not a single subscriber that will actually pay for this?
Hang on to it. Use it as a long term hedge against inflation
coltens reaction is just the cutest of them all :D
Getting familiar with the team here!!
I like how only Dennis said kilos and everyone else said in pounds
Another part of Linus dies when the controller seemingly broke (13:00) xD
Linus net worth is 35 million and she’s really stiff over 100k
wait, what, Dennis is your quality control???? How the fuck did that happend `, )
Now this should go viral so Linus doesn't lose another huge bucket of money after 50k gamestocks investment.
Madison looks like a human Colton :-)
Linus is an idiot listen to your wife and melt that controller and get your money back
yvonne is literally my fiance. looks at everything and must have a useful value otherwise its a waste no matter how cheap or expensive. i feel for him
I just now realized it, that controller is more expensive than my house.
Am I the only one that really dislikes the fact that Linus keeps saying "my money" , "I paid" , etc ? I am at the point I literally close the video when he says that.
that's the feel you watch someone die inside slowly
The captions keep saying that Linus is speaking off-screen but it's clearly not Linus speaking off-screen.
I'm curious why would the oils from their hands ruin the finish if its solid gold?
It's a business expense
Lol,this is funny
"Why does this exist!?" Yep.
$69,000 😒
i was dumpster diving behind LTT and i found the gold controller
@mike listeral Sold the real and your stick with the fake
@Kyle S you sold the fake. hes pissed and coming to get u.
@mike listeral but I already sold it for 100k, I think you werent actually the one asleep
@Kyle S i followed u home and swapped real one for the fake when ur sleep
I already got to it, I left a fake one for someone else lol
What up with the hats indoor?
-Let me take that from you. Whats this? Give me that.
Why Linus? Why you got to be a Xbox fan? A smart PC guy buy PS and Switch if they ever have the need. Xbox is just useless
oh good...at least we milking it xD ---shit his reaction is priceless :D
I love how colton wants to put it away after he hears how much this thing in his hand cost :D
The Intel Tech Upgrade videos show how much equipment employees "borrow" from the office, so they're gonna have to employ a security guard to keep this thing on the premises.
I think Linus thought this series would be a banger because of the clickbait nature of his videos. However, he failed to realize that for clickbait to work, people have to care about the content still. Not many people care about this content so the clickbait isn’t really a bait.
Do a ps5 controller bro
waiting for the golden ps4 controller
Flex
jeez man, no offence but this woman is acting as a bitch
I just can’t understand the American male mentality to submit to female. They give women too much power. American men, take control and be the head of the household. Men are logical and women are emotional.
need some grease ...
Don't melt it down. If anything you could sell it as I bet there is a small but viable market for solid gold Xbox controller.
That tv is not centered. Driving me nuts
Love how Yvonne wrecked Linus lol. Savage. Hahaha.
Yeah, Alex is definitely not a craftsman. Linus, mostly just drops things. lol Sell it to a Saudi and just gold plate one. Seriously.
"I should consider your viewpoint" (Linus consider a divorce) xD
Wow, she would rather spent 100k on a party then on a hard peace of something that could sell for quite a bit more then it is worth. Where did you find her? Her mind is one of a privileged dumb dumb.
I love that we got a legitimate review from Anthony
I missed something, please explain how $69.99, presumably the reatil price of an Xbox controller in the US, is 200 dollars off from $69000??
This was such a ridiculous over the top idea, but so cool to see as an actual final product which actually games decently. Awesome stuff. I hope you can keep it Linus!!! It's definitely art!!!
