At christmas a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos was unwrapped by my 7 year old friend. Once the Hippos were out of the box my attention was drawn to some strips of cardboard put in the box to help keep its shape. These strips featured Mario AND Crash Bandicoot and a picture of a "GAME STATION" which looked like a PS1. I have no idea what kind of games this copycat system played, or even more puzzlingly how they ended up as a structural reinforcement in Hungry Hungry Hippos, but needless to say it seems in parts of the world not only is game piracy a problem, but system piracy as well.

I've seen these videos before, absolutely hilarious.
Glad I watched the DS one first, though, because he seems to recycle a lot of his comments 
I remember trying to show the DS ripoff to Gtpod but he didn't bother turning sound on and so didn't find it funny at all.

Goodness, the piece of contraption for both imitations are certainly horrendous but the thing is....why buy it in the first place?

Well not many people in third world countries can afford DS's and PSP's .. so next best thing is something that looks like them ..

Sadly that Popstation is appealing to me then the PSP at the moment... I'm sure I could get some of my friends to believe that a Popstation is a real PSP too!

the battery life is probably too long for that.
