Prevent pirating? Region lock does nothing to prevent pirating. It’s there so the software manufacturers can charge higher prices than a free market would allow.
But it’s pretty widely known that Wee can mean small and the Japanese do love ganking words from other languages. Engrish fail and attempted sarcasm fail.
No, no, no, it’s Scots. Look carefully: it’s a mini DVD player, and “wee” is Scots for “mini”. :rimshot: Bwahahahahahahahaha LOL ROFL OMG I slay me LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!111

i know its in Japan, but it was probably made in China by a company that obviously doesnt know what a copyright is. it might even be made by the same company that made the Vii or PopStation or Neo Double Games.
when there was the lead up to the Wii release, my sister was excited about it and wouldnt stop the chat about it. every time she mentioned it i cracked up! i had NO idea she was talking about a CONSOLE. we got one i saw it is wickid. then my sister went to college, so i can’t use it no more =(
oh and by the way, how do u change the little face thingy, cos this one looks like my DAD. i dont have glasses and i dont want the whole internet thinking gem221 is an old pensioner.
My first First?
Yes, I’d think so.
But, seriously! Who made that?
Nintendo, surely?

(comes with a toilet-roll shaped wireless controller…
Teehee!
Wee! It’s a DVD player!
they speeled wee rwong.
so sayeth catpain weenor.
Total. Fail.
i’m confused. this is an actual product. it’s not the wii game console. it’s wee a dvd player. whats wrong with this?
The failure is that it is surprising like the Wii, sounds like the Wii, colored like the Wii, in similiar package to the Wii.
And it’s called Wee. ’nuff said.
If it’s region free, I’ll take one. Over the Wii? => no question.
dont you mean religion free?
he said REGION free. most dvd players only play dvds from their region to prevent pirating.
thank you captain obvious for ruining his classic engrish joke…

Darn, that’s clever. I must have missed the bit in the news where Scotland adopted the Japanese language and the Yen as currency.
But it’s pretty widely known that Wee can mean small and the Japanese do love ganking words from other languages. Engrish fail and attempted sarcasm fail.
I guess I’m going to have to rephrase my post.
OK, here goes:
ATTENTION: PREPARE FOR LAME JOKE

JOKE ENDS
There there. It’s okay now. *pats rewboss on the head*
Dad?
Well, that’s up for debate. Ask your mother.
Jules, here’s a nickel. Go out and buy yourself a sense of humor.
Keep it and get yours serviced.
Scots as in the T.P.?
Did yous hear abouts de noo Nintendo hand-held Wii?
Deys gonna call it the Wii Wii. Can i plays wit yours?
*Tee hee*
How is this name worse than Wii?
Lol it is Japan and I remember seeing that at the “russian” shop. Always made me laugh.
A Wii to play in the toilet? Awesome! lol
WEE tarted!
how is this engrish? shouldn’t this be on failblog instead?
Does this come with Baby Wee-Wee from Failblog?
Don’t forget the other crappy ride-the-bandwagon product, the Vii.
its japan, idiot
i know its in Japan, but it was probably made in China by a company that obviously doesnt know what a copyright is. it might even be made by the same company that made the Vii or PopStation or Neo Double Games.
“obviously doesnt know what a copyright is”
You mean, “obviously doesn’t CARE what a copyright is,” RIGHT?
I’m probably missing something here (my brain, most likely), but wouldn’t trademark protection be more appropriate here than copyright?
I’ll copyright your FACE OFF.
… I actually own both the wee and the wii, neither are worth mention. Not even a joke can save how useless they are.
White bricks made of plastic
You do have to plug them in, turn them on, and insert the disc, you know.
Some people choose alternatives to inserting discs.
In Soviet Russia …. (someone had to say it!!)
yeah, though that is true… they still don’t work as well as they should. I use mine as white plastic bricks for the lego fort I am building
…Discs insert YOU! … done and done XD
Sort makes you wonder, what other kind of rip off names could there be?

It’s a nice wee-sized imitation! Does it play games too?
Made by Nentindo? Wow that’s just weird
wee wee is the sequel.
