Inevitably, the PolyStation 3

It's not even worth busting out the KIRF numbering for, it's so predictably awful -- but say hello to the PolyStation 3, the latest and greatest console from the makers of the original PolyStation, the smash hit followup PolyStation 2, and the portable POP Station. Our video reviewer is the same charming British chap we've come to know and love from his other knock-off reviews -- let's let him handle the honors of destroying this thing, shall we?

[paul.davis @ Oct 29th 2007 3:15PM]

WoW!!!! I can't to read the review.. I need a really good laugh you know? Hopefully after he does the review he will throw a video of it melting or blending on youtube.com.

Tiger Electronics FTW.

[paloooz @ Oct 29th 2007 3:22PM]

I don't understand these. Fake Wiis, fake Playstation 3s... do they even have games? Who are they kidding?

Of course, I guess the same could be said for the real Playstation 3 ... but we'll leave that for another time.

[endrew @ Oct 29th 2007 4:10PM]

Yeap it does have games which r all exclusive lol

[aaron @ Oct 29th 2007 4:58PM]

Why do people highly rate such predictable gibberish? The PS3 is amazing and has some great games. Sure, not a lot YET. I think the people who like to bash it are people who either can't afford it or just have no real sense of humor and have to rehash age old jokes that got laughs long ago to make themselves look whitty. LOL.

[Andir3.0 @ Oct 29th 2007 5:41PM]

"rehash age old jokes that got laughs long ago to make themselves look whitty."

I think you have them confused with the ever-witty "Doom blending overlords in Russian iPhone plays you" folks. Either way, they're old, played out and stupid.

[Andrew @ Oct 29th 2007 5:46PM]

Because it's funny.

(And yes, I'm speaking as a PS3 owner for which I buy games regularly... every once in a while when they do come out. Why do people like you keep assuming that all the folks criticizing the PS3 are the ones that can't afford one? I am likewise getting tired of that particular "predictable gibberish".)

[rv @ Oct 29th 2007 7:08PM]

What I don't understand is why they make it "Polystation." They are already in violation of the ps3's copyright with the similar shape, controller, and function, so why not just call it a playstation and be done with it?

[Abuzar @ Oct 29th 2007 7:53PM]

So if I make a video game console(similar function, plays games), that resembles a PS3, and has a control I'm in violation of some weird copyright law?

[Mark @ Oct 29th 2007 3:26PM]

How many parents will buy this for their kid instead of the actual PlayStation 3? A ruined Christmas for many.

Then again, with the slumping demand for the Playstation 3, it may not be so bad.

I laughed when he sarcastically said "there's the holes for the speaker, can't wait to hear that..."

[Bob @ Oct 29th 2007 3:27PM]

So when are they coming to Best Buy / CCity ......can't wait to get hold one ...

Engadget.....come ....we need prices , reviews ,, hands on .....

[adobochicken @ Oct 29th 2007 3:27PM]

I've actually seen a working Polystation one.

[John M @ Oct 29th 2007 3:32PM]

Wow such innovation..I put this up there with the controls scheme of the new Vii...Im glad to see people thinking outside the box

[dxprog @ Oct 29th 2007 3:32PM]

I want to see him get his hands on a Vii.

[strider_mt2k @ Oct 29th 2007 3:42PM]

Man I love those reviews.

[Alexander @ Oct 29th 2007 4:00PM]

I'm calling fake on this one... The reflections are all wrong on this.

Yes. Photoshopped for sure.

[Comacozi @ Oct 29th 2007 4:42PM]

Did he photoshop the whole video too? wow thats alot of work to fake a POLYSTATION 3!!! you sir. are. a. moron. Thank you very much

[Alexander @ Oct 29th 2007 4:49PM]

*WOOSH* That is the sound of the joke going right over your head.

http://xkcd.com/331/

[chezzo @ Oct 29th 2007 5:03PM]

I think he may actually have been making a clever reference to this comic- http://www.xkcd.com/331/

Or he may indeed just be a moron.

[chezzo @ Oct 29th 2007 5:03PM]

Ah, Alexander pipped me to the post

[TrentD @ Oct 29th 2007 5:10PM]

Maybe if it were a funnier joke... ;)

[Andir3.0 @ Oct 29th 2007 5:43PM]

... or maybe people need to sign off the Internet, because not everything you read is serious or true.

[Alexander @ Oct 29th 2007 6:34PM]

@Andir3.0: Quite right. Nobody can take a joke these days... Nevermind that the OP and the video-review of the Polystation3 was very humorous.

[rouge @ Oct 29th 2007 4:06PM]

That was AMAZING.

[RikF @ Oct 29th 2007 6:09PM]

And we appreciate such comments, coming from a fat-ass yank

[rouge @ Oct 29th 2007 9:08PM]

ugh, come on guys, let's get along!

[N!K @ Oct 29th 2007 4:20PM]

Has there ever existed a Polystation 1 or 2??
I love these chinese mutations!

[Comacozi @ Oct 29th 2007 4:44PM]

there was a polystation paolystation 2 and POP the polystation portable

[N!K @ Oct 29th 2007 4:51PM]

Appart from Tic-Tac-Toe and Space Inveders, what other games can be played in this next-gen console

[Comacozi @ Oct 29th 2007 4:53PM]

a rip off of pole position. and a corny football game. maybe pong. And doom. oh wait, not even this can play doom

[teebo @ Oct 29th 2007 4:36PM]

How does the multiple games thing work? It was billed with several games, but that racing game looks hardwired.

Still, love the knockoff appeal. The controller is so darn cute. But it just seems odd you have to lay it on its side to see the screen.

[Comacozi @ Oct 29th 2007 4:43PM]

i think each one comes with a certain game. the one you choose has one game, and one game only.

[teebo @ Oct 29th 2007 4:47PM]

That sucks. I'll just stick to quality name-brand products like the Chintendo Vii, with Wu accessories.

[Comacozi @ Oct 29th 2007 4:51PM]

yeah the chindento Vii. now that is a console we should all be buying. its way better than that Wii rip off.

[huuugs @ Oct 29th 2007 4:58PM]

I hear that Nilay guy is a total hottie.

[GazzyC @ Oct 30th 2007 6:33AM]

I agree :P

[01 @ Oct 29th 2007 5:30PM]

PolyStationVii FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waiownsyou @ Oct 29th 2007 5:34PM]

LOL, that British guy on the video is hilarious

[Blah @ Oct 29th 2007 5:51PM]

That guy reminds me of Marvin the Paranoid Android.

[Maff @ Oct 29th 2007 6:01PM]

I want an XBobbleHat361!!!

[James @ Oct 29th 2007 6:27PM]

What an absolute god awful thing. Why go to the bother of even making it. Pathetic

[Austin @ Oct 29th 2007 6:59PM]

Thats what they said about the Playstation 3!

Hell, I'd buy the PolyStation 3 long before that pot of crap Sony device!

[Reader @ Oct 29th 2007 7:18PM]

"and now I'm going to turn it off because it's making my ears bleed"

Haha, classic. Only could watch the review of the hand held, I'm assuming the sight crashed for this one.

[MEAT! @ Oct 29th 2007 7:51PM]

I predict that the absolute terribleness of this console (and ones like it, like the Vii) will earn it a cult status; maybe a niche market for gag gifts? It would be funny to tell your friend you're bringing up your PS3 and show up with that shite.

[Matt @ Oct 29th 2007 8:16PM]

I read that as "PolypStation". Abnormal Growths being what they are.

[engadget @ Oct 30th 2007 12:06AM]

Ha, that was mildly entertaining.

Oh by the way, thanks a lot for the blatant, unmarked, Bioshock endgame spoiler. Are there any other things I'm currently enjoying that this dude could ruin for me without warning? How about who the others are on Lost, that'd be a good one.

[Woody @ Oct 30th 2007 1:13AM]

Agreed. I pretty pissed about the
Bioshock spoiler.

[Justin Roiland @ Oct 30th 2007 4:46PM]

Very upset about the bioshock spoiler as well. FUCK man! I almost don't even want to play it now.

[Matt S @ Oct 30th 2007 1:44AM]

lets hammer the noise button! lol

[Jim @ Oct 30th 2007 4:04AM]

this mutation deserves to blend.
