Hi I'm trying to find a wholesaler for certain electrical goods in the far east. One supplier has Xbox 360 accessories which look real and come in an identical box. However some are described as Unbranded or 'sold without brand'. So are these fakes i.e not genuine ?

Does Microsoft manufacture products in China ?

Those are compatible goods made by a 3rd party manufacturer.

You CAN'T get branded products (like Microsoft) from China.

If products have any popular brand logos, be sure that they're FAKES and you should stay well clear!

If you go down the cereal aisle in a grocery and they have Kellogg's Corn Flakes and they have Post's Corn Flakes and they have "Our Store Brand" Corn Flakes and they have a white box with the words Corn Flakes on the front are any fakes?

They are obviously not all "genuine" Kellogg's Corn Flakes, but neither are the fakes.

If you saw a box identical to the Kelloggs box in every respect, with maybe Kellogs or Keloggs, or even the exact name, but not quite right, then you would have a "fake".

Unbranded does not mean fake, it means this will serve the same purpose but as I say on my website, you are not paying to name a stadium or fly a blimp, you are paying for a quality product with no label that can be sold for less because it has no huge advertising budget to support.

Keep in mind the words of one of the major US talking heads -

The price difference between "the best" and the adequate often is much larger than the quality difference. George F. Will
