PSP' and Elvis - Full of impersonators!


For the cash-strapped among us this Christmas, we've got something in your wallet's range. We were surfing eBay for some last-minute shopping when we picked this deal up: A brand-new POP portable gaming system for the rock-bottom price of US $15.00.

what a fake!No, that's not a typo - the POP is our week's spotted PSP impersonator. The specs say the unit carries multiple Tetris games FM radio, and earphones, and was honest enough to lay the disclaimer "
This is not a PSP although it looks very similar!" Though we're sure most people could already tell by the box (see image to the right).

Sadly, the unit was sold yesterday, so guys looking for cheaper alternatives to the PSP will have to look elsewhere. On a finishing note, we're wondering if this was the same model of portable gaming this guy used for his holiday surprise...

Junk...

I already had this thing in my hands last summer. It isn't worth 10$, it is really useless and worthless. Also for cheap dot matrix games, there are a lot of better game devices... Only for a collector of those type of consoles it could be interesting. (For 2 or 3 dollars, I would buy one for my game console collection :-) )

See it at my homeland...

Well if any of you say my post/comment on the Jimmy Hendrix article, you guys will know where I live anyway I am sorta not surprised that these thing existed... All I need to do is walk across the street take a bus and walk down a shoping area near my school and well I get to see the PSP imitations... I think it's common to see that though...
