usertests Chances are they were already being sold without such branding before the "Lenovo" unit appeared. Reply
abufrejoval Why don't these companies understand that selling means giving up control? Must be some Fruity Cult brain pox pervading originally innocent minds… Reply

hwertz Yes. 'Some' are loading it with 1000s of games. I'm REAL sure that 'some' isn't 'all of them' LOL. I seriously doubt anyone sells these supercheap emulators blank, generally besides actually having quite a few games, they boost the numbers by having like 100s of reskins of Mario Bros. I'm sure Lenovo realistically knew this would be the case? But if they were naive enough to think 'restricting' sales to China would actually restrict sales to China, maybe they really did think people would buy a blank Lenovo emulator rather than the dozens of others loaded with games? I don't know. Reply

Yes, regional restrictions have happened forever, but its kinda silly nowadays . First of all, we now have a totally global shopping market called the internet. Secondly, Lenovo can’t really be held responsible for people reselling the device outside China if Lenovo is only selling it inside China, anyways. They’re overcharging for an rk3326 based device anyways. Reply

"I'm shocked… SHOCKED that this happend. Shocked I tells ya" LOL. Don't quit your day job to do tech comedy. You won't be able to afford to tip your RAM supplier. Reply
