What better way to capitalize on a hit product? Rip it off! Ladies and gents, may I introduce the "Wee." It's not a game machine, but a DVD player that was discovered in at a Tokyo retailer. Hey, it may not play games, but the Wii won't play DVDs, so all is good!

Thanks Landon!

Opinion:

Wow, i can actually see people mistake that for a Wii, more so for the white ps2. Some people have no shame what so ever.

It's sad that there will be so many people thrown off by that, and you can't even blame them all on stupid people. The kids are going to say they want a Wii and parents aren't going to know how to spell the name.

It's in China...haven't you heard of all the spin-offs and copies over there? Besides, the Wii isn't even shipped to China...right?

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

It's an amazing prank to play in a kid you hate.

Lol, Im sure that you can buy a "Wii" in China, a "Wii" that has 1024 8-bit games included. Unfortunately there is no disc support and the "Wiimotes" are, well, not "Wiimotes" :)

The proof of a console success is when ripoff products appear.

maybe they were just using the Scottish word 'wee' meaning small... or not 


edit: It's just two VCR's taped together :P

Actually, it's in Japan and not China. You can see the katakana on the label "DVD pu-re-ya (player)" and the price is in Yen.



Tsuki ni kawatte...Oshiokiyo!

Watching "Aa!!Megami-sama : Sorezore no Tsubasa" and loving it!!

That is sad. Yesterday I saw a PLAYERSTATION2 slim. They ripped off even the "slim".
