Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXIII: 8-bit Xbox 360 / PS3 consoles only serve to dash dreams

We've seen some pretty low tricks when it comes to giving what appears to be a gaming console to a junior, but we're pleading -- nay, insisting -- that you don't ever buy in on either of these in an attempt to pull the wool over a kiddo's eyes. Straight from a shady warehouse in China comes Rodisson Technologies' totally ridiculous Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 clones, both of which can only play 8-bit titles. The worst part, however, isn't the complete lack of effort in knocking these systems off with any level of pride; rather, it's the 10,000 item minimum order quantity. Thanks, but no thanks.

I bet some poor kid in a third world country who didn't know any better would jump for joy if he got one of these for the holidays.
It serves it purpose



- Merry Christmas.

Umm, no. You have no idea how crappy those things are.

third-world kid: "at last, a console from the west that doesn't RRoD! Yesssss"

[strider_mt2k @ Dec 26th 2008 7:49AM]

Doubtful, as they are probably the ones who made it.

[xboxbuff @ Dec 26th 2008 9:09AM]

Actually, many young people in China have known about or own the Xbox 360

[User7 @ Dec 26th 2008 9:53AM]

How many third world countries have TV's and power?

[Flashpoint @ Dec 26th 2008 11:07AM]

The funny thing is - thanks to our wonderful Chinese copyright infringement artists...you can get one of these fake systems that comes prepacked with a bunch of classic NES, Genesis, Master System, SNES and Turbographyx 16 games from Chinatown here in NYC.

...or, you can pay over $200 to get the same amount of games from Wii's virtual store.

[Platinum_Skeet @ Dec 26th 2008 11:42AM]

I don't know about the Xbox360 console but China does still support the HD-DVD format and it's not dead over there...

[Oli D @ Dec 26th 2008 5:18PM]

@xboxbuff, if even one tenth of chinas population had an xbox....

1.6 Billion. No. I would say that only a fraction have ever seen an Xbox.

[Arkenklo @ Dec 29th 2008 1:45AM]

It's more likely the console comes from the factory he works in then "the west"

[bff @ Dec 26th 2008 4:31AM]

Damn ..... im at a loss for words

[Jon Doe. @ Dec 26th 2008 4:35AM]

How about...wow that is some stupendous shit?

[yopladas @ Dec 26th 2008 4:41AM]

I'm always amazed the must be a market for this! I mean, there IS, isn't there? Or why would they keep making fakey stuff?!

[Bufsabre @ Dec 26th 2008 4:44AM]

/me thinks they only made 10,000 of each and are trying to pawn them all off at once

[Frostblade10 @ Dec 26th 2008 5:18AM]

LOL i sent in an inquiry for an order of 30,000 units from a make believe company called "Stupid Fucking Ripoffs Incorporated" with contact name Robert Irvine (ex-food network chef). I really hope they dont know any english and email me!!!!! LOLOLOL

(BTW, Im completely serious. i actually sent an inquiry)

[giuliop @ Dec 26th 2008 5:31AM]

Of course they know English; just look at the description, they have "build in games".

[Salsa Shark @ Dec 27th 2008 12:01AM]

No longer an ex-Food Network chef, by the way...

[Errorkid @ Dec 26th 2008 5:20AM]

This reminds me of the first and second generation knock-offs the Japanese produced the previous millennium.

We all know what that evolved into ... give it 10 years tops until they dominate the tech/telecom market.

[ED @ Dec 26th 2008 6:17AM]

I'm certain a smart kid could find something to do with 10,000 of these.

[G @ Dec 26th 2008 6:54AM]

Somehow connect them all and emulate a real Xbox?

[ED @ Dec 26th 2008 7:29AM]

Maybe half of one.

[ED @ Dec 26th 2008 6:17AM]

Actually, I kinda need spare parts for my robot army...

[Shaka @ Dec 26th 2008 6:34AM]

Kind of looks like a Wiibox 360.

[whatsisface @ Dec 26th 2008 9:33AM]

More like an Xbox Wii60

[Félix @ Dec 26th 2008 6:45AM]

8-bits games ?
It's not even a Megadrive then ?

[STINK @ Dec 26th 2008 7:52AM]

"* 1+512 build in game ,9999999 in 1"

Uhh,...could someone interpret this for me?

[Ad-man @ Dec 26th 2008 8:11AM]

This reminds me of a picture I need to get of my phone of a Wii version of these selling in The Works (a crappy budget bookstore / stationary shop in the UK), how fairly big chains can get away with selling these I have no idea...

[superhobo @ Dec 26th 2008 8:58AM]

These make me unbelievably angry...make me rage!

I think its from when I discovered that "Playstation" that was so cheap and I wanted in '96 was a fake.

UGLY CONSOLE is UGLY. :|

[Max @ Dec 26th 2008 10:02AM]

Did you see the Wii car charger?

[MRLN @ Dec 26th 2008 10:21AM]

Oh, a Wii car charger is very practical!

If this costs under $10, it's not that bad of a deal.

[Tim22 @ Dec 26th 2008 10:22AM]

come on a real xbox 360 is only £120, how desperate would you have to be to get this?

[Jonathan-DBOSS @ Dec 26th 2008 11:23PM]

If I only have £20 in my bank account and anxiously want a fake 360 then sure, i'd be pretty desperate.

[Daza @ Dec 27th 2008 8:30AM]

In Australia they sell for the equivalent of 100 GBP. Just picked one up with GOW:2 for what would cost you 120 GBP, and another 15 GBP for the 20GB HDD and 3 months of live.

[Mr. Ford @ Dec 26th 2008 11:50AM]

Those controllers are totally an iPhone ripoff. I mean come on, they have buttons on them. How much more obvious could they be?

[Salsa Shark @ Dec 27th 2008 12:05AM]

If your iPhone has buttons, you probably got it from the same guys who made this...

[metabee209 @ Dec 26th 2008 12:02PM]

We're complaining about this, yet 20 years ago, people were shooting and robbing each other to get one of these.

[matt merritt @ Dec 26th 2008 12:03PM]

Damn 173... I never even noticed how many of these KIRF posts there were.

Keep up the shitty work China!

[BigTeebo @ Dec 26th 2008 12:48PM]

I wouldn't mind one of these to go next to my Chintendo Vii. From the pic, it looks like an Xbox360 pencil eraser key fob.

[BigTeebo @ Dec 26th 2008 1:19PM]

Look on the rest of the page. There's also a knock off PS2 slim, Xbox 1. I just wish they'd shift gears on these consoles & have a SMS clone with all the games. I've played the Panda-graphic hack of SMB1 already. I kinda/sorta collect these Famiclone things.

[Vincent @ Dec 26th 2008 1:48PM]

Could I have 10,000 marbles, please?

[Jake @ Dec 26th 2008 6:51PM]

Hey kid, get off that mailbox, that's government property!

That was a genuinely funny comment, well played.

[Tim @ Dec 26th 2008 4:00PM]

ha, 3D optical mouse, now thats a new one! what i want to know is where are they keeping the 2D mouse, if they've manage that the world should really take notice! or maybe the 3D mouse can go round corners..internet explorer has encountered a fatal error and must restart..ha no i can go round you Mr.!

[pat1202003 @ Dec 26th 2008 4:09PM]

At least that thing won't get the RROD.

[Californian @ Dec 26th 2008 5:30PM]

Oh this is better: http://rodisson.diytrade.com/sdp/727514/4/pd-3782999/4727969-0.html
Same company, but this time they improved the name: PLAYPOWER!

[Selene @ Dec 26th 2008 6:19PM]

No lie, that thing looks pretty cool. I wouldn't mind one.

failzors

[Francis @ Dec 26th 2008 6:50PM]

Not only does it look nothing like the 360, those controllers look more like the playstation controllers and I think the black gaming guns are illegal in California.

[Frostblade10 @ Dec 27th 2008 5:11AM]

Yep. If i can recall correctly, all toy guns MUST be completely colored neon pink or green.
