During the June holidays while visiting China I bought a Tamagotchi for only a few dollars. It looked like this: https://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2748/spa0084b.jpg
The packaging says Familicha (not Familchi) v5. It has several features different from what I know of my v4.5, like only three characters are allowed for the name, there's no shop, the connection screen has two hearts with the words stand by, the scold/praise button makes make tamas sing, and the despite the fact that the instruction sheet mentioned the minigames in reals tamas, it only had one minigame - a running game which a stickman runs on an exercise machine. The clock's also not accurate, it seem like every six minutes counts as an hour so the thing kept beeping all the time. I can't remember clearly, but I think it was able to be muted. Also, the tamas don't die.
