I just found some lady in china that sells Xbox 360 , Nintendo Wii , Playstation 3. The prices are too good to be true. I just wanted to ask if anyone ever bought theses consoles or are their any thing like " FAKE " Xbox360's because i know these chinese people made fake Ipods.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

stay away. "some lady in china"...that's a giveaway..."too good to be true", that's another one. My guess is that they are knockoffs and not the real deal at all. Look for a used console or save your money...you will pay more, but you will get what you pay for as well.

Chinese are making everything these days, and they are making everything cheap. Most brand names are made in China and then sold in the U.S. with a price tag which exceeds the cost 10-20 times! For example to assemble a computer in China costs $1. Since most parts are made there too, you can calculate what the cost would be.
Anyways, don't be surprised by low prices. I bought my SonyEricsson phone directly from some guy and it was the original phone.
However, be careful with the payment. Use a credit card, so you can cancel the transaction if you never get your console.

I live in China and last Christmas my mother bought an X Box on E Bay from someone in Beijing, thinking that I could pick it up for her on the way home (not a good idea!). To make a long story short, this person took our money and disappeared. Unfortunately, as my Chinese friends affirm, this is fairly typical.

The prices are real, but the games will only work with games purchased in China too. The system is specific to that country, so beware. Of course the possibilty of fakes and knockoffs are very real too. Be careful when doing business with someone from China. They think nothing of doublecrossing someone when it comes to money. I have lived here two years and see it everyday.

Check the shipping costs! Many Chinese sellers sell the item for a low cost but the shipping is way too much! I've seen things for 99 cents with shipping over $100

Let me put it this way, MS is supposed to release the 360 in China in the next few weeks or so. So, how did she come across some 360 when it isn't even released in her country yet.
It's fake.

If shes selling them below the retail prices in stores currently, don't bother. It has to be at least $150 aboce the current prices to believe.

The goods are real. I know for sure. Then again, after you send the money, you never get them. But they are 100% genuine!
