Best PSP Clone Ever?

In countries where the average daily wage hovers somewhere around the cost of a Starbucks latte, the expensive PSP handheld remains out of reach for most consumers. That hasn't stopped enterprising hardware manufacturers in China from creating their own blatant ripoffs to compete with the coveted handheld in lower price brackets. Latest in a long line of knockoffs is the "Two Player Game", a PSP look-alike that actually does play games, although not of the PSP variety, and not for two players.

Two Player Game, or 2PG for short, is about as fancy a PSP clone as one could find in a Chinese street market. Thanks to flagrant disregard for international copyright laws, the device comes bundled with 117 classic NES roms, which can be played on the machine's backlit color screen. Just like its inspiration the PSP, 2 Player Game also comes with a TV-out connector and can attached to a (clone) DualShock controller for big-screen action. Contrary to the hopes of its designers, the awkwardly-named 2PG doesn't actually allow 2-player action of any kind.

If you find yourself tempted next time you are confronted with the opportunity to buy one in a street stall, don't pay more than $40 USD for this PSP clone.
