Fake PSP/ PS3 Phone hits China

Looks like a PSP, plays like a GBA and has the backwards design of a phone and for once im not talking about the N-Gage.

While browsing around the internet i found this rather interesting picture (but with hardly any details surrounding it). From what i can gather its another one of china's fake cheapo entertainment systems.

Ever since the original GBA came out, china have been making "copycat" versions but instead of GBA game they use games like PONG, or Mr Game & Watch, or old style LCD Racing games, then when the DS and PSP were released they did the same thing, but in colour - the PSP was called POPSTATION, heck they even made a copy of the N-GAGE and called it N-GAME but had very worse games.

Now few years later a fake or copy of the PSP Phone (which has been rumoured alot recently) has been seen for sale in dodgey shops around china, but instead of being branded a PSP Phone (or popstation mobile) its been branded as the PS3 Game Player, whats more amusing is that it has the shortended PS3 logo and the Japanese SNES Logo all mixed into one.

What is rather cool is that it has a decent button layout, better colour screen, some sort of camera and a rather interesting game that i can only describe as a Street Fighter clone.

We all know that the chinese are forging stuff left right and center but this is just crazy and to be honest looks pritty cool. im sure it won't be long before european shops sell these for around £10.
