FrieChamp Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I saw an interesting article on spiegel.de today (german) about console ripoffs from China and stumbled across these videos, showing them in action. We had a different Wii ripoff in the office lately and I can only confirm: these consoles are bad. Hilariously bad. The "Polystation 3" is my favourite. Enjoy: Quote
Minos Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 We got those in Brazil as well unfortunately. Poor moms always fall for this trick. Let´s say you are a poor mom and your kid wants a Nintendo Wii for christmas. You go to a game store and the seller says the Wii comes with only one game and costs $250. He then notices you don´t have all that money and tells you about Vii, a game console that looks exactly the same and comes with 2.000 games, 2 controllers and a laser pistol for only $50. Which one will you buy? The same happens with Playstation 3 (that comes with only one game) and Polystation 3 (that comes with several plus the laser pistol). Quote
Psy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 These remind me of those 5-in-1 controllers you can plug straight into your TV to play games. Quote
2d-chris Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I bet the development kits are cheaper than the real thing Quote
Mazy Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 I bet the development kits are cheaper than the real thing I bet the dev-kit is a stick you wave at it! Quote
Bic-B@ll Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 when i was a little kid my parents bought a thing that looked like a dreamcast controller and had like 500 games in it from sega genesis to nes, we used to plug it into the little tv i the van when we went o road trips and it was the coolest thing ever. it doesnt work anymore (oh and it even came with a little pistol to play duckhunt with) Quote
2d-chris Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah lol - I bet some of the games that come with it are amazing. It's still stupid to rip off the name of a Nintendo or Playstation though Quote
