9x9?

[ThatGuy]

sorry didn't realize they had up to 11

But that only says US patent.
edit: There's Foreign application priority data and public classifications, what do those mean?

It's an illegal chinese knockoff
If you buy it, you support criminals
Also, I have my doubts as to the quality

lol...why are they "criminals" again...?
You guys support Verdes too much.

Just shut up now and we won't completely destroy you.

lol, wonderful. I'm just saying that it doesn't really matter if people buy those chinese knock offs or not. Verdes will still make money

This is the type of stupidity that allows for the flourishing of illegal knockoff markets that do nothing more than hurt consumers and inventors.

I'm not trying to be wonderful, it just looks as though you were defending thieves. To me, it's simply a matter of respect to Verdes and his family; they have poured their lives (time, effort, intellect, and a massive amount of money) into this invention, and to go and buy a rip off is just throwing that back in their faces.

Wait then, probably overloaded.

That may have been a bit true when the V7 came out long before the knockoff. Now the ONLY 9x9 on the market is an illegal product, and so 100% of people who buy them will be supporting criminals. Verdes is making no money off of his design.

Well...since most people appear to be just like you, you don't need to worry about that.
Unless, of course, you do indeed plan on buying one.

And because there are people like you, we do need to worry.

I suppose I've made the wrong impression. LMAO

Remember, for every non-v-cube you buy, the more likely verdes is to not produce their versions of the cubes not already released. Although others may make them, verdes would make them in a (most likely) high quality plastic, awesome customer service, etc.

haha seems so.....some people take things very seriously on this forum. ill bet theyll take this very seriously too

geez....bias much? u dont know how the quality of that "knock off" place is......and u better not be implying what i think you are

 

[Swoncen]

I agree. Although it's very seductive to buy the 9x9x9 I'll stick to V-Cubes. Anyway I don't think they'll produce the 9x9x9 first.

 

[StratoPulse]

That's weird, it says twistypuzzles is down, account domain blocked by Parallels H.

What do you think I am implying?

 

[qqwref]

Not sure if want.

I know I will definitely buy an official V-cube 9 when they come out; that's not at all in question. However, if the Chinese one comes on the market first, buying one or not will be a tough choice, because I definitely do want to be one of the first people to have a 9x9 and start getting decent times with it. I really hope Verdes puts out a 9x9 soon, because that would make the choice a lot easier (in that case it'd be "buy a V-9 only", of course).

Yes, I take the livelihood of honest inventors very seriously

 

[Swoncen]

I wonder how much they will cost. Around 80$ maybe..

What are the penalties for violating international copyright laws anyway?

Go on google and look up Greek copyright laws?

EDIT: Well what about chinese knock-offs of everything else. People don't complain about there amazing Chinese diy's.
Or their 4x4 knockoffs of Rubik's.
I'm sure Verdes won't let them get away with this so let's not jump to conclusion.
Lastly, we (I) don't know if they are getting compensated for their ideas, Verdes can stand up for himself and
if we complain it won't change a thing. Harsh, but the truth.

 

[anythingtwisty]

I would never buy a knockoff knowingly, and will gladly wait for the V9. Why doesn't speedsolving.com adopt a knockoff policy similar to the one over at TwistyPuzzles?

DIYs are not a knockoff of a valid patent
