Where to buy?

Now i know some of you out there might want to buy some of these cheap chinese knockoff electronics, like the iphone clone i showed in my previous blog. So ive compiled a small list of places to get them.

DealExtreme- Probably the best site, offers a nice warranty and good prices, but sometimes it takes long to ship and good items are often out of stock. Also offers drop shipping.

ChinaGrabber- Similar to DE, but more for wholesale.

MilkHoneyLand- I havent had much experience with them, there prices seem good though.

Ebay- You can find anything on ebay usually for a good price. But watch out, these products tend not to have a warranty.

Iphone knockoff

CECT P168
Now usually knockoff products are really awful, however the cect p168 is a surprisingly good and cheap alternative to the pricey 400+ dollar iphone. The phone works with just about every American and Canadian service (just as long as the phone is tri or quadband , and you dont use verizon) the major difference is that the screen doesn't work 100% as well as the iphone, and that it does not feature wi-fi. But other then that it seems to do just about everything a iphone can and thing that it cant (it can take pictures and video, though the camera is 1.3 megapixels it is still pretty nice) The phone can range from about 150-180 depending on who you buy from. I find that DealExtreme is a good place to buy it, it will only cost about 159 and you will get a warranty on the phone, which is a very good thing to have for a product like this.

Here is a video that goes through some of the stuff it can do.

Playstation 3 Chinese Knockoff



Polystation 3

I seriously hope noone would fall for such a sad attempt at a PS3 rip-off. This is without a doubt the worst Video Game Console knockoff on the planet. It bares a SLIGHT resemblance to the actual system, but thats where any similarities between the two end.

It doesn't even plug into your television, you play on one of those small LCD screens (yes, like the ones from the McDonalds happy meal games). You play using a small playstation-esque controller, which only seems to have 2 playing buttons, while there are others that are there for no apparent reason, other them to give the allusion that it is a PS3.

There is really nothing else i can say about this piece of shit, other then don't, under any circumstance , purchase or play this "game" Perhaps i can get some game play footage to show how truly awful this is.
