How far back do the bad blu's go, if i were to order a blue should I try to request one from the original batch, if thats possible? It just seems like all of a sudden the problems with blu's are arising.
 
The ones with the 2004 firmware date are "bad." I don't think you can buy the older BLU's from any stores now. You'd have to find one for sale on ebay maybe. I also doubt anyone who owns an older BLU will sell it anytime soon.
 
Will every BLU unit be like this for on now?Or should I just buy FLU or another non-lit.
 
i have a non lit and i want to get something with a light. i really like the blus but now it doesn't seem like a good idea to get one, and even now, how can you prove when you buy one from someone if it is a new blu or an old blu?

Not so hard. Just have them do the startup test ( LRRLRRLL ) and take a photo of the firmware date. If it's 2003, it's the old BLU. If it's 2004 it's the new one.

Then why if they get the photo from one of there buddies. You cant really get them introuble because the product is in perfect working condition. And if you say that they misled you they can say they misunderstood.

What is the problem of the "bad" BLU's?
THIS white bar is the problem.
gp32_bad.jpg

The screens supposed to be completley filled with blue with the word "READY" in
light blue at the top. It's a screenshot of the C64 emu Frodo.

EDIT:
How long will they be out?
Gamepark said they might keep making them this way INDEFINATELY.

IS the problem only with that one emulator? Or is it with more stuff? I'm looking up upgrade my non-lit to a BLU, so....
 
With some more stuff.
Not all apps have been tested yet.

BTW: I think, the only BLUs affected yet are the ones with the D&G / RF-Link Bundle.
