Looks real to me. Not really of interest to me, but I'm sure some parents would love the thing (like my sister with her kids).

Not sure if it'll sell well though. Which of course would kill it within a year.

Like the guy said, how will you get your game out? Looks like we'll have to keep Suikoden 3 ;)

Then there's the slight problem of kids being more intelligent than this seems to give credit for (the basic issue that makes me wonder if this is true or not): you can simply unplug the thing. If they've got some sort of deal where you can screw it on using the screw in the middle of a power outlet's faceplate...asking for somebody to get shocked. Pretty dumb, overall.

Maybe it's a replacement power cord? Then the kid goes out and buys another, or finds the old one (especially good if the parents have thrown it away in the trash).

I doubt this is real, because it's incredibly stupid and lame.

The Game Boy Player comes with some kind of built in "alarm", so it isn't that far-fetched.
