It's the sort of thing you'd expect to find on a market stool in Thailand (or some dodgy shop in China Town); these 'Wee' DVD players are a blatant rip-off of Nintendo's hugely successful games console.
It reminds us of the days when the PSone became a hit and crap VCD players and illegal Atari-game compilation machines shaped like Sony's console flooded the market, either to fool stupid mothers or let the poor kids at least pretend they had the hottest gaming kit.
Sure, we'd never mistake the imitated clean which box with similar grey font (pictured) and hilariously mimicked name for Nintendo's motion controlled gadget, but we feel sorry for the one kid who's know-nothing mother will make that terrible mistake this Christmas. Make sure that's not you.
