A CBS investigation has uncovered some Walmart and Macy's coats being sold at Burlington Coat Factor — disguised as more expensive designer brands. Apparently, some jackass at a coat supplier thought it would be a good idea to glue Perry Ellis labels on cheap coats. As you can imagine, both Bu...

Knock-offs: they look like the real thing, but are bought out of the back of a skeezy guy's van for a quarter of the price and either break or explode within a week of purchase. Then, to make matters worse, the bastard isn't set up on the same street corner when you go to return the merchandise. Wha...

We're pretty sure that Nintendo doesn't have anything to fear when it comes to the MiWi2, a Wii knockoff that was first spotted by Engadget Korea back in June. However, we were surprised to see the fake on sale somewhere outside of Asia -- or really anywhere for that matter. Yes, unknowing parents m...

Capcom might want to get on the phone with Unilever, owner of the Knorr brand. Because, really, that's Mega Man, albeit in green, encouraging Dutch children to eat more fruits and vegetables (I think.) What's this? Mega Man flacking the goodness of the garden for a maker of dehydrated soups and cond...

Filed under: Gaming The 2PG TC8281 is one hard working portable game console -- and trust us, it ain't easy trying to make a living under the shadow of the PSP and its less expensive (and downright irreputable) siblings. Don't blame the poor guy if he was born with "brand name style," as they say in...

Now that we've had a chance to see both of this summer's biggest blockbusters—"Indiana Jones and the Kindgom of the Crystal Skull" and "Carolina Jones and the Broken Covenant"—we think it's only fair to see how Dr. Jones measures up against his porn doppleganger. Are these sequels sympat...

Many of us here at PSP Fanboy find the sexy red God of War PSP a worthy object to lust over. This faker called the PNP, on the other hand, is definitely not. While its emulation of the PSP's likeness is sub-par, it is quite easy to be fooled at a quick glance. If you look closer, you'll see a horizo...

Awesome, another fake video game console. Designed to trick elderly grandparents and disappoint children, the MiWi is a Wii knockoff (in case you couldn't tell). It's monster piece of crap and comes with a throwback N64-looking controller. The best part? It requires no AC power! That's right folks, ...

Filed under: Cellphones Oh, there are plenty of bad Chinese iPhone knockoffs out there, but the HiPhone may be the reigning champion these days -- so it kind of seemed like a matter of time before Apple loosed the hounds on distributors of the device. We don't have confirmation or proper human trans...

Filed under: Cellphones It's just what you've been waiting for -- a Nokia N95 running Windows Mobile. It looks like the rumors were true after all! What's that? This is not a real phone? It's just an FM radio with a sticker on the screen? Oh bother. Yes folks, thanks to eagle-eyed tipster Eric, you'...
