Read reviews, talk with friends and experiment to learn when a brand name matters. I’ve found buying brands is critical sometimes but now always.

Virgin material is nearly double the cost of recyle plastic, but virgin material is three times as strong or more. That is why knock offs, break down so much earlier. Thickness for thickness recyle plastic will always break down sooner from the same amount of use. One of the big savings for companies that knock off products, is in the plastic housing.

It's not worth it and in the end you end up paying two or three times the price in the long run that you could have paid once in the beginning. I can't imagine that an imitation Wii would be as good as the real thing. I would never buy electronics that are not brand name.

You can buy cheap electronics but most will break quickly and don't have an established company behind them handling these issues. It is often more of a hassle then buying a new one. Cheap electronics are often manufactured by big Chinese companies and rebranded by smaller companies. Cheap (disposable) electronics are primarily responsible for heavy metal pollution in developing countries and in US landfills as most aren't properly disposed of in Hazmat Collection Facilities. Buy something of quality (and pay more) as it will last you much longer and have better support than knock-offs.
