Here at Engadget HQ, we've no particular issues with
superfluousness, but we're just hard pressed to believe that anyone could find value in a $30,000 remote control. Granted, we'd certainly have a change of heart if said remote could grant a trio of wishes, create a clone to handle our 9-to-5 and serenade us on command, but unfortunately, Lantic Systems' RC 1 does none of the above. The discuss-shaped device only offers up control of one's DVD player, TV, CCTV / security setup, audio system, lights, curtains, HVAC and any other standard AV component, all of which can be taken care of for a Toyota or so less. Interestingly, the outfit doesn't even mention how much gold you're really getting here, but considering that those signed on to bring one home likely posses more money than sense, that tidbit probably isn't a dealbreaker.

So when I become a multi-millionaire, am I doomed to lose all sense of style?
People should just buy a device to goldplate stuff for $100 or so and they can make everything in their house gold for a fraction of that money.
Can this also trigger the trapdoor to my piranha basin? I'd be fine if it only activated the orbital death-ray, but as we're talking convenience here...
Makes me wanna use that thing as a puck and knock the teeth out of anyone wanting to buy it.
Yeah, I want to be looking around for my $30K remote when it gets lost...
I read the title as 'Lunatic Systems'
;)
... will it control my Wii?
Discus.
Possess.
*slap*
But, will it run Linux?
Ooh, Shiny!
Must buy!
it better play doom...
Did B&O design this thing? Yeesh!
For that price, just install a Crestron system!
...and here I was, thinking this was a gold plated Roomba. At least that would be ironic...
can that thing stop blow up my mother-in-law's tires when she is on her way to come visit on Thanksgiving? If so, I will consider........ :)
can that thing stop or blow up my mother-in-law's car tires when she is on her way to come visit on Thanksgiving? If so, I will consider........ :)
It better suck and F*** me on demand for that price!
Obviously not for rich dog owners.
Fine Print: Monster Cable required for device to function with remote.
I want to see a GOLDEN OLPC, only $100 Million... or make a more crazy GOLDEN MAXIMUS OPTIMUS Keyboard...
