Get a Vii for Christmas. Not a Wii but a Vii

[techs]

Beijing (China) - China is known for creating pirated versions of DVDs and even video games, but now it is also the home of a cheap version of an entire gaming console.

James Wong takes the credit for inventing the strikingly similar-looking Wii clone. In addition to making the console look very realistic, Wong has created a "Vii" remote that also mimics its Wii counterpart.

In addition, the Vii comes with "Vii Sports" as well as Vii channels similar to the ones offered on the Wii. It also comes with a knock-off of Cooking Mama, and another bowling game.

The Chinese rip-off first showed up earlier this year but has gained more attention as the holiday season approaches, and Nintendo still faces production problems with the Wii.

The Vii is currently being sold at an online Chinese retailer for 986 yuan ($125).



I realize that China is the capitol of the thieving world, but how can they get away with this?
And can I sell my new IPhonee in China?

this reminds me of the dude at my work who bought his GF one of those I-Phone knock offs off Ebay, the "T-Phone" She wanted an Iphone, and apparently wasn't tech savvy (or bright maybe?) so he gave it to for her Birthday and told her it was an iPhone haha. The pics he showed me of it, it did look almost just like an iPhone and had a touch screen, but according to him besides that it did nothing cool haha, I felt bad for her. She was probably at work "ohhh look my husband bought me an iPhone!"

maybe he'll get her a Vii for Xmas I should tell him about these

My parents got my little brother a fake Ipod for Xmas last year. I felt so bad, it was one of the ripoffs on E-Bay. My brother never told them it was a fake, they were so excited they'd managed to get him one. What's even worse is that apparently it cost almost the same as a real Ipod, like 150 bucks.

People should be more careful, but it's gonna when some excited, happy Mom and Dad proudly give their kid a "Wii" only to have the kid told them they messed up and got him a knockoff.

 

[uhohs]

way too much for a knockoff.

If that actually worked, the RIAA and MPAA wouldn't have hardly any problems with piracy. Most of their revenue lost by piracy is because China creates millions of good copies.

Nintendo can't do shit about it

Well, nintendo's a lot closer to china than the RIAA. I bet they could launch some missiles over there pretty easily.
