It paid off...

Surfing through my favourite blogs, I came across this piece of information. Again, about China (Pedro, nothing personal!).
Ana, of Coisas da net e não só came across this in The Enquirer:


Fake Chinese electronics perform better than originals
Can’t even buy them out


CHINESE MANUFACTURING outfits are cloning fake goods which are proving better than those of the original companies.
According to IT Wire, the clones are being made and distributed in China so fast that by the time the real gear arrives it is being treated as if it was an expensive fake.
LG was so slow in getting its Chocolate phone released in China that the pirates put some excellent copies into the shops. When LG did release the phone, it failed because the discerning Chinese punters thought they were fakes copying the 'original' Chinese version.
Chinese pirates cloned the PSP fairly successfully and even chucked in a stack of pirated Nintendo games to go with it.
IT Wire reports that one clone outfit so impressed Samsung that they offered them a job and a chance to go legitimate. However, the pirates said no thanks as they made more money flogging pirated gear.


Didn't I tell you guys that it really is worth to go and set up a bargaining scene for the sake of a few fakes? Shame I didn't get the.... (get ready)... (H)ipod! For only 30€! Pedro.... :) Xmas is coming, my boy!!!
My colleagues at the office are going to ask (for the second time) for a whole new batch of fake watches from here. The first ones arrived and they looked so amazing, everyone wanted one!
Which one would you choose?
