Not bad, China. When you rip off something, you usually do a crap job. This? This looks like a PSPgo at first glace. Maybe even second glance. But it misses the mark on closer examination.

What you're seeing here is the PXP-2000. That's right. They seriously went with the name PXP. This is the latest in the long line of pachimono (the term for knock-offs). This one slides open, just like the PSPgo. But when you start playing, you'll notice a difference -- this does not play PSP games. Instead, you can run emulators to play NES, Gameboy, Super Nintendo and Genesis games. It also plays multimedia, has an FM tuner, sports 2GB of built-in storage, and can take more memory via an SD slot.

Wait, this sounds better than the PSPgo! I kid, Sony. Mostly.

Japanese page ITmedia says that this knock-off is supposed to sell for $149. Right.

Seems pricey, but... SNES and Genesis emulation.. that's cool, except that its probably illegal outside of China.

I wonder what the screen resolution is, and how big it is? It looks kinda bigger than the Go, although I doubt the screen is very high quality. I suppose it would need to be... at least 320x240? to emulate SNES titles, right?

I'm totally buying this. lol.

looks but prefer original stuff.

You forgot it has a Video Camera :P

From another source (a retailer that sells it)

"PXP-2000 PMP has a built in Emulator that will not only play emulated NES/Famicom games, but also Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and even SFC and MD Rom games (32-bit Rom Games)."

So.. looks like no Genesis or SNES. That's a no-buy for me. NES and GBC doesn't cut it.  It also sounds like you have to purchase the games from a site in China, which, frankly, worries me.

It is 320x240 though, as I suspected, and it has a radio, which I find quaint and cool.

SFC = Super FamiCom (SNES)

MD = MegaDrive (Genesis)

I would guess.

Yeah, the Japanese versions of those consoles.  I don't believe the ROMs are compatible.

You might as well pickup a regular PSP and hack it at that price, but the portability and look is still cool.

If it was 99$ and I could get it in the US, I would be interested.
