It takes most people years to acquire a reasonable amount of add-on junk for the console of their choice — but if you lack the time and have the money the Pinel & Pinel arcade PS Trunk ($90,000) can have you gaming like an old pro on day one. This insane set includes a PS3, two Formula 1 racing seats with Thrustmaster steering wheels, a selection of 24 PS 3 games, an 1,800-watt sound system, a Playstation Move camera, four Move controllers, two Move shooter guns, four PS3 wireless buzzers, four Dualshock 3 controllers, two arcade fighting sticks, a 55″ Sony TV, and four pairs of 3D glasses, all of which is housed in a custom trunk that’s covered in calfskin and measures just 51″ x 55″ x 36″ when closed.
When it comes to note the true classics among men’s luggage, then the name Ghurka has to come up. It has been pretty quiet around this quintessential British brand, untill recently when announcing this capsule collaboration with Park & Bond. The capsule collection consists of a dopp kit and a remade Cavalier II duffel. Both are made for the adventurous and simultaneously elegant traveler with thick canvas twill, Ghurka signature midnight blue tanned leather and bright vibrant red colored lining, whilst the Cavalier II features a fold-end design that opens to reveal extra space and an easy access for packing your cloth.

Other features include Antelope’s 64-bit Accoustically Focused Clocking technology, 384 kHz USB streaming, DLNA support, dual stage headphone amps, and dual S/PDIF de-jittered outputs. [via]
