The original link to the Fighterforum source article in that thread isn't working, because FiFo was taken over by afreeca. The old articles do still exist, but they are a little annoying to find, since the news ids of the old FiFo articles changed when they were incorporated into the afreeca database. Took me a bit too find it, but here is the original source article for the 1st golden mouse anyway. The article says the golden mouse is worth 8 million won, which was around 7670 USD on November 4th 2005 (source: IMF chart with conversion rates for November 2005), with today's conversion rate it would be around 6535 USD. So the op of the November 2005 TL thread about the golden mouse was a little generous with the 8000 USD figure and and well yeah, the conversion rate changed like I said. Not sure why fomos says the mouse is worth 7million won now, when it was 8million in November 2005. Can't be bothered to check for differences in the prices for gold in November 2005 and August 2009 though. | ||

The op merely stated that the gold alone is worth 7 Million Won, I suppose the manufacturing and other materials might have their price too, possibly the missing Million. | ||

edit: from this closed thread: "3 OSLs = Golden Mouse 5 OSLs = Platinum Mouse (actually white gold coated mouse) 7 OSLs = Diamond Mouse (as above but encrusted with diamonds)" | ||

it wouldn't be surprised if Jaedong won the Platinum mouse, he's definitely good enough to do it. there should be something for 10 OSL titles, golden mouse, keyboard, mousepad, headphones, and any other accessory they use and the rights to Tossgirl. | ||
