Wii Knock off's

I don't play games. Have no need to spend the $ on a full Wii. Just want it for when kids or people come over as something to do. I've seen some Wii knock offs from v-sports, XAVIX, WIRELESS SPORTS, & a few others on Ebay for $50 or less.
Is there much of a difference between these? Any recommendations?

IDK. QVC had one on sale & the graphics looked the same. As I said It won't be used often.

+1
like stated earlier gamecube is like $20-$30 for a used one, even a ps2 would be better than a fake wii.

I can tell I'm talking to gamers. Don't want to know other options. Just opinions on the knock off systems if anyone has them.

If not I'll try something.

As stated this will get used maybe a handful of times in a year to entertain with a group of people or if kids are around. Nothing more. It will sit in a closet till it's needed. Simple as that.
The other systems are not interactive. And the wii or like systems are easy to learn & use for people who don't play video games.

GH1 and 2 for PS2 is easy to play and fun. Most importantly cheap.

I have seen the Xavix ones. It looks like to me that they system with 1 game is around $50.00. Each new game that you would buy would require you to buy all the things to go with that game IE, the bat for baseball. ETC..

If all you are looking for is something to entertain some people. Give one of those a try. Worst case scenario, you're out 50 bucks...

LOL. Me neither. I've had my Wii for over a year, and I've played it < 10 times total.
