Droid X360: when a split personality is awesome

Meet one of the most audacious pieces of kit we've seen — the Droid X360, a PlayStation Vita knock-off named very closely to the Xbox 360, running on Android and packaged with Nintendo and Sega emulators.

The chinese can continually rip off products and get away with it, they have been doing it for years.

kingPoS5049d ago

Think about it this way.

Step 1: Think of an original idea that won't be squashed by the your own government.
Step 2: Fight an uphill battle.
Step 3: Make sure your product doesn't offend the wrong party/ies.
Step 4 profit

Looks pretty good, who cares if they do it.

Nobody tells china what to do is the bottom line.

"Look pretty good"

WTF did we watch the same video.

This thing is either fake or has the worst lag in gaming history. The button smashing that the guy was doing was not even in sync with the game -_-

WeskerChildReborned5049d ago

Well knock offs are usually not that great.

Like the fake Iphone knock off or the one that looks very similar to one.

I don't know if this will have a good OS though. I wouldn't count on it.

Sucitta5049d ago

the only people that buy these are the chinese, so i don't understand why people get worked up.

wtf do you expect when we send all of our products and labour to china?

free trade and NAFTA, now that's sickening..

hellvaguy5048d ago

It has little to with labor being sent to country A or B.

It stems from countries such as China who dont have any copyright laws and protections coupled with an accepting culture and a very low income country = a formula for cheap knockoffs.

Sony and nintendo doesnt even sell any of thier products in China. That alone should tell you something.

Tidybrutes5049d ago

As a vita and 3ds owner.... I want one of these! I bet it will be cheap, and much more fun to play roms on than a tablet or hacked wii or psp due to the added andrioid functonality.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi76d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer77d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot76d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno76d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay76d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno75d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK75d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
