Rip-offs designed to dupe

We're used to seeing a fair few 'me too' products in the wild but rip-offs are, apparently, becoming less and less obvious.

Now although it'd be obvious to you and me that these examples found by kotaku and Gizmodo aren't the real deal but you can bet that they've been designed to dupe the unwary.

That first example, the X-Game 360, is just an NES emulator designed to look similar to Microsoft's Xbox 360... even down to the packaging...

And though Gizmodo's WiiMote rip-off is less obviously packaged, it's still styled exactly as a WiiMote would look, again top catch out the unwary...

Kind of puts me in mind of those adverts a few years ago... "I'd like an Eggbox please..."

That ‘fake 360’ works out at about £14.
Anyone who even has the slightest thought of it being real is obviously a tard.
Wow, that is low…
Deal, I was holding off untill they came down to this price level, result.
You should see some of the Famiclones, look like every console under the sun.
