The Mini Polystation 3 is an inexpensive video game console whose design was based on the Sony PlayStation 3 game console. Like various other game consoles, such as the POP Station and Neo Double Games consoles, its design is based on a previously made console.

Game system
It features seven games: "Formula 1", "Soccer", "Basketball", "Motorbike Race", "Street Fighter", "Submarine Invasion", and "Space Guardian"; there are no other games available for the system.
The console requires 3 AA batteries to be played, and does not connect to an external television, display, screen, or monitor. The controller is placed at the back of the console. The console also features a screen, which partially pops out when pushed.
Instead of the high glossy outside of a PlayStation 3, the Mini Polystation3 has a hard, black plastic outside which looks similar to the PS2 case, although it remains similar in appearance to the normal outside of the PlayStation 3. A mini dual shock has also been included with the console,[1]
Unlike the Play Station 3 that it is based off of, it does not have the capacity to run DVD or CD media, the capacity to read Blu-ray disks, online connectivity, or any type of support by the producers.
Criticism
The PolyStation 3 system has been criticized as being a clone of the PlayStation 3[by whom?], which it is named after and looks very similar too. it also is criticized as being a fraud, essentially copying the physical appearance of a PlayStation 3, but in reality it is considered to have a Cartridge system more similar to Nintendo's NES, and games considered inferior to those of the NES.[citation needed]
