Has anyone else heard of, seen this or know anyone who tried it?
The Zone 40 is a wireless gaming console that is a clear Wii ripoff, it even looks like the Wii. It has two Wiimote-like handhelds with motion controls and 40 built-in games in a variety of genres.

I saw it in CVS for $38 and thought of picking it up just to monkey around with it. I wouldn't spend $200+ for a Wii because I play mainly my XBox, but it's less than a full priced 360 game so meh. Many of the games didn't look too bad, but you'd never mistake them for what you'd see on today's consoles. I'm sure they're simplistic.
But for $40 seems like a decent deal.
I think the console itself runs on batteries. 4 AAs for the console and 2 AAAs for each remote. That's a lot of batteries and if that's the case it's a turnoff.
