So Why Would We Want To Buy A Blu Again?

From what I've read, all that seems different is the light is a bit brighter. Is that such a bit deal? I think I'd rather get a cheaper flu than because most people make it out to be good enough. Plus the battery life sounds longer on the flu. Are there any real advantages to getting a blu over a flu?
 
I heard the FLU washes colours out more than the BLU will. Personally I think they should have addressed the poor joystick and replaced it with a control pad type input that won't snag in your pocket.
 
Didn't people had the exact same argument about the No-FLU/FLU? At least this time is a fresh new batch. And er, it's not like you can buy a FLU nowadays - they sold out everywhere.
 
Its got class.
Plus, How much space does a fresh set of batteries take up, Unlike pocketpc etc that have built in li-ion batteries that you have to take around a charger and a wall socket with you :rolleyes: .

Heh, I'm gonna build me a power adapter thing, like the one Daz Genetic was talkin bout earlier. Battrys will never be a problem again

Ive got a FLU and it dont seem to wash the colour out much at all!
Your gp must be quite magical, b/c the flu does indeed wash out colours a GREAT deal (it was one of the things i was most dissapointed with). To see the stark contrast simply play your gp in good light w/ the flu off then turn it on; the colors will be much less vibrant. This dousn't seem the case with the blu, though I am still happy with my flu purcase. :D

even to me it seems very easy, a battery casing thingy, a wire and the gp32 adaptor thing...

Do they have those big sized rechargable batteries? i don't think so... I rather have an adapter that uses 4 aa batteries

Yes - it's about $35 for 2 D rechargable Ni-Mh's, and they are 11a (11,000mA compared to 2,300mA for Ni-Mh AA's)

So the real advantage so far is that it just looks a little nicer? Well I guess that would be nice, but I don't think I'll use the light enough to matter (the gp32 is supposed to be good without the light on right?).

Edit: oh and craig said on gbax that they'r enot sure about how much it can overclock to until they get the sample one. Has he said when gamepark will send one?
 
MY flu washes out now colours virtually!!!!!
Also gbax has sent me a plastic screen replacement when my current one is glass but has a scratch.
I will keep the glass for now untill the last week of my gaurantee!!!!
