You know how we love a good knockoff at Engadget. Well, the PXP 2000 isn't the greatest KIRF we've ever seen -- especially considering that it's a "PSP Go" that plays NES games (and pretty badly at that). It is, however, one of the most caring and detailed unboxings we've seen in a really long time. In the nearly 15-minute video (which we've included after the break), the young gentleman host proves himself to be a talented and fairly entertaining chap. Be sure to watch the video all the way through -- you'll get to see some Super Mario Brothers action as well as the PXP's super fantastic iPhone camera icon. Also, someone who we can only describe as Jason Voorhees-esque makes a guest appearance about halfway in. Hit the read link for the whole, wild ride.

Hmm.. I'm not sure if the narrator was a young boy who has yet to go through puberty or a women?
Yea I couldnt tell either and it was driving me insane. So I just went to his channel and found out its the puberty one.
Did you not see HIS face in the reflection in the PXP 2000?
short nails. going with young pre-pubescent boy.
Stay in school, kids.
He's 21 you know ......
He is 19 years old, and a YouTube partner. You can't be a YouTube partner without being at least 16. Another proof: In one of his videos he is driving to Walgreens, quite clearly no-one else in the car except him.
this kids a douche.
ANDY MILONAKIS REVIEWS CRAPPY TECHNOLOGY NOW?!
Pre-puberty's a bitch...but I'm not sure on his confusion about the difference between Hong Kong & China (one's a country?)
Sounds like Darline from Rosanne...
Nah, this sounds like a stereotypical lesbian. Darlene had more character in her voice. Also deeper.
Seems better than the real thing, Go go China !
aside from the logo and size, you cant really tell which one is the fake
Who even plays games on dedicated gaming systems anymore... I just use my droid for casual games.
I had a comment about the cables not being the only things that are 3inches long and pointless, but I'll give the kid a break as undoubtedly many Engadgetters will post the same thing.
I like how you didn't make that comment about the cables not being the only things that are 3inches long and pointless.
When that dude in the mask came in the whole atmosphere of review turned into that of a porno. I stopped it there before the guy/girl hybrid got it thrown to him.
Why the hell is he wearing gloves?
either he rides a motocycle or for masterbating.
Or both. Simultaneously.
Craptacular.
Spend the same money on a Dingoo A320, and skip the heartbreak that this...thing will inevitably bring.
As for the host with the gender-neutral voice, let's hope those stones drop before the prom.
Holy crap, my video is on Engadget...
Also, yes, I am a guy. Believe it or not, I am 20 years old. I know, shocking, but trust me, I get asked it enough times. If you don't believe me, oh well, just remember: what reason do I have to lie?
Commenting on an article about your own video; Isn't that like masturbating.
.......obviously theyre both too young to recognise classics like Contra that was the first on the list, and didnt recognize Fist of the Northstar. I dont watch anime at all but I know the legendaries when i see it.
All in all though, it was an entertaining unbox. he could be even better in the future after his balls drop and unboxes a better product.
I didn't recognize Fist of the North Star, no, but c'mon. Everyone knows what Contra is. I personally already played Contra on it before the video, and my friend didn't care to play it I guess. The fact that he did play Mario was enough for the video.
nah youre right. i didnt mean it to sound offensive. but by judging the pitch of your voice I figured you might not have recognized it. good vid though, now review some fake chinese cellphones like a Sany Ericssan MyDouch-e-iPhone3G1HeroPalmPreSPre_GO 64GB.
I'm only 20 and I recognized fist of the north star, age doesn't change how much you should/shouldn't know about gaming. If you truly consider yourself hardcore, you would have played as many of the original titles as you could and would probably know that there are so many SNES titles out there, you shouldn't be surprised to see one you don't know. "gamer x" as the masked character refers to himself as, clearly isn't as "hardcore" as he touts himself to be lol. Oh and he was wondering why the camera wouldn't autofocus? It's not that it wasn't focusing, he was just covering the lens! All in all, this thing isn't nearly as bad as they make it seem, and they were very biased in picking out the flaws they chose to show.
WEAK REVIEW!
How the hell is this legal ?
How the hell can you ask that question with a straight face?
It has got speakers! WoW
Wow!! 11.0 mega pixel camera? That's better than my actual digital camera.... I might have to pick one of these up. lol
I liked it when Jason X was trying to take a picture and the screen was blank... because his finger was over the lens...
Classic!
The first kid is really smart and articulate. And his friend(dressed in American High School Kill Wear) killed it when he said he doesn't read books anyway. The video is classic.
Besides all that, tell me how the hell that outfit was able to produce such a replica of the pspgo? I'm sure Sony allows, just like intel licensing their tech to AMD, other companies to sell rebranded, slightly altered versions of their stuff.
"It's made in China but I got it from Hong Kong... we'll call it a team effort..."
[Slaps forehead]
Video isn't too bad, but a bit on the quality level of the product, some things on the device are not badly done, seems responsive, large screen, windows open with animation, I've seen things done worse on expensive devices from large respected companies, so the 'reviewer' is a bit unfairly dismissive, and yeah many sony/apple/toshiba/whatever devices also need the powerbutton held a while to turn on.
Ashens does this so much better.
British accents make tat so much better.
Make fun of him all you want. He has better presentation skills than most people on video.
Wait he's 20 but doesn't know what Fist of the North Star or Contra is? I want to murder that Jason-esque fat kid by the way.
This shit is ghettto, the sad thing is jsut like the fake iphone a lot of pikies will get their hands on these and totally screw you over by trying to pawn it on you as a real psp go (that shits stolen etc typical one liner). You buy get home and then wake up to the reality of an unforgiving proper shafting :(
Sad ass shit :(
NES/SNES WHATEVER!
guys thats definitely a chick
shitty acting..
whats a 64 bit game?
Any N64 game?
Goldeneye? Star Fox 64? Supper Mario 64?
What are you doing in Hong Kong anyways, get the $%^ out of there, you don't belong there. Leave them alone.
Hrm... I bought one of these about three weeks ago and was initially pleasantly surprised. The build quality is full on KIRF-tastic but the screen is surprisingly large and bright and relatively crisp. And it does loads of things to a decent degree; radio, still camera, video, all work and are all quite solid (for an 80 buck device anyhow...).
The x-bar menu is, ah, idiosyncratic, just because the icons are in a particular order on the display does not mean pressing left will actually select the icon to the left of the one you are already on... but hey, such predictability is so overrated, right? But the UI is pretty good (mostly because it was completely ripped off from various sources, notably OS X).
And yes, it does play SNES games. Not all of them but a good proportion of them and when it works, it works well. Except for the button mapping. This thing has dozens of face buttons and shoulder buttons and such but all of them map somewhere in the heady combination of ABX and L; no Y or R-shoulder are available. Which is can be a drawback.
But most importantly, it was recalcitrant in talking to my Mac, got more and more unstable as the first weekend wore on and then, 72 hours in, crashed, and now won't boot; it gets to the splash screen and locks. And as there are no instructions or helpful web sites or even manufacturers names anywhere, that's pretty much that. I could send it back to ChinaDodgy.com but it hardly seems worth it.
So I bought a Dingoo a320 which is absolutely excellent, top notch build quality, loads of online community, plays pretty much everything I have thrown at it and can be dual-booted to Linux for those other emulators you really want (Speccy games anyone?) and is a really, really nice box for us aging gamer types wishing to relive our long-departed youth. I just wish the screen was bigger.
To recap. PXP200, looks promising, but is sloppy and has a glass jaw. Dingoo a320, a serious box that rivals Ninty's offerings and plays a billion games really well on a screen that is a bit too small (I now know what all the fuss about Metal Slug is all about...).
Man why did I sit through 12 minutes of that video review. It wasn't even a review, just constant complaints about how crappy it is.
You just had to add X-gamer to your review? At least use your sister! I like staring at her better than X-Gamer. Oh and let me set this straight tweeterman287 is a guy, not a girl. Also he is 20 and has a drivers license, so stop calling him kid. (unless your really old. Then its ok!)
