Keepin' it real fake, part LVIII: A816 mobile dons PS3 logo

As if the 7.1 surround sound smartphone and king-of-all-knockoffs weren't enough, today we're graced with the portable PS3, er, the 3 Cool A816. This laugher sports a design ripped fairly hard from Sony's PlayStation Portable, but dons a hysterical "PS3 Game Player" logo right across the back, which would absolutely thrill those wanting to play PS3 games without coughing up the dough for a $499 $599 console if, you know, those pesky discs would just fit. Carrying on, the GSM conglomerate also sports a 320 x 240 resolution 3.5-inch screen which is casually referred to as "high-definition capable," built-in MP3 player and image viewer, video game emulator, 1.3-megapixel camera, TV out, an MP3-based alarm clock, handwriting support, an integrated dictionary, and dual stereo speakers to boot. As expected, there's no word on price just yet, and even though it's supposedly available to ship as of this month, we can't possibly urge you more to resist the temptation on this one. Click on through for a few more snickers.

What are the names on that fighting game? Reiji and Buffugo? LOL. WTF?

The PSP doesn't have many games worth buying the system for.
Why not increase the ambiguity of the PSP's usefulness and add VoIP to it?

MAke it a WiFi phone.

This isn't a PSP post,so take your PSP related opinions elsewhere.

Maybe its the PSP2!

There's a front-facing camera on it also...does it do videophoneing? I'm assuming it's not 3G, so why then the front-mounted camera?

These things are more than funny, they're downright confusing.

Maybe it supose to mena, that the owner of this phone is a ps3 game PLAYER. Nothing like a sticker just to increase your gamer status quo

You guys always get it wrong...

Well if it is reasonably priced it might be interesting to get just to mess around with. I just bought one of those little mp4 players off eBay. Granted it only has a 1.5" screen but then again it was only $20 so if anything it is an 8gb flash drive and it does play mp3s too. So some of these rip off cheap things are kinda cool.

Haha, comedy. these rip-offs get better and better every time...

@Ratchet

Are you sure you got a 8Gbyte MP4 player? Many of these players are actually 1Gb or less players with a modified formatting so it _seems_ like 8Gb, until you fill it pass the limit of the real flash drive and everything goes corrupt. It's a very popular scam nowadays.

More of a POS than a PSP.

IMO

[eddie @ May 19th 2007 1:14PM]

Is that a Windows logo next to the "PS3"?

[Chrisboff @ May 19th 2007 1:18PM]

yeah! it is, Double Knockoff!!!

[Ratchet the Lombax @ May 19th 2007 6:57PM]

@Takashi
It seems to be 8gb although I haven't filled it up I have got almost 4gb of stuff on it and it hasn't corrupted yet. If it does though I'll just reformat it and even though it may be only 1gb it was just $20 so no big loss. But thanks for the info I'll keep an eye on it.

[Enzo X2 @ May 19th 2007 8:33PM]

That screen is so SMALL. Camera is a mere 1.3mp. Keys are crumpled together. I'd stick with my PSP, thanks a lot.

[myscrnnm @ May 19th 2007 8:53PM]

lol, it's not even the real PlayStation 3 logo.

[alan hardwick @ May 24th 2007 2:52PM]
