    :lol: Chinese and their cheap shit. I love the voices on the guys as they open it up only to fine a tinny cheap PCB inside. Even the cart port is fake !

    <shrugs> What do you expect? They suddenly figured out how to make a real Wii cheaper than Nintendo? :p

    Well that explains why the benchmark between the two is so uneven;-)

    The cool thing would be, what kind of console the "vii" is. Since if it is a "Hong Kong original" console. Then it would be smashing to find out, what if and why. Even though the why question is already answered.

    I would love to get myself a Vii. I know I should google first, but anyone know any importers that have them?

    God, 170 bucks for that? I was going to get one for shits and giggles but I think I'll just stick with bad YouTube reviews for my laughs.

    I still can't believe how much this company are charging for it, especially now we know what's inside.

    Meh. It's all the standard fair in China. Looks like a Wii, so charge like one. Open one up, find out its all cheap inside.

    Wouldn't surprise me the least. For the cost of the unit, I'd say just forget it. Unless you’re local, sellers probably won't give you a brake since they know you can afford it. If they know your foreign, I’m sure they will give you an extra gouging just for the service of owning one of these crummy things.

    But it would go so well with the PolyStation :(

    Ahh, in a few months I'm sure Wal-Mart will have them. They seem to like the Wii knockoffs

    Their motto is, "We're proud to say that the Vii are Chinese." Are they also proud to say that it's a crappy low-tech hunk of plastic that's a rip-off of a much better Japanese console? If I were Chinese, I'd be cringing when they say that (I'm cringing anyway).

    And the Chinese wonder why they can't make it in the world market. If they stopped ripping everyone off with cheap shit they might actually get some where. Just look at Korea. 20 years ago Korean electronics where pretty bad but now they're making some quality goods :nod:
