			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Too cheap to buy a Nintendo Wii? Then look no further than the latest Wii knock-off to find its way from the streets of China.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3410 aligncenter" title="v_sports_wii_clone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_wii_clone.jpg" alt="v sports wii clone" width="520" height="405" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://rumdes.com/en/productsview.asp?id=222">V-Sports console</a> from Hong Kong electronics outfit Rumdes does its best to copy the motion controller concept of Wii Sports, but without any of those pesky Nintendo games. The cheapie game system <a href="http://bestgear.jp/chinese_appliances/chinese_appliances_20080515.html">retails for just ¥8000</a> in Japan (about $74 USD) and comes packed with 11 sports games that use the included motion controller, making it even more of a bargain basement deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3411 aligncenter" title="v_sports_11_1_games" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_11_1_games.jpg" alt="v sports 11 1 games" width="520" height="614" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And if you act now, the console comes with an additional 10 arcade and puzzle games to keep your mind and reflexes sharp.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3412 aligncenter" title="v_sports_10_1_games" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_10_1_games.jpg" alt="v sports 10 1 games" width="520" height="721" /></p>
<p>From what I can tell, the console plays what are old 16-bit games, modified to take advantage of a rudimentary wireless motion controller. And unlike the real Wii, the V comes in three colors: white, blue and pink, so there&#8217;s one each for boys, girls, and everyone in between.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3413 aligncenter" title="v_sports_controllers_wii_cl" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_controllers_wii_cl.jpg" alt="v sports controllers wii cl" width="520" height="505" /></p>
<p>With a real Wii retailing for $249, I suppose you could buy 3 of these instead, but I have a funny feeling that V-Sports console will be less than 1/3rd the fun.</p>
