Forgive me for asking but Im a bit confused, is there going to be a european launch or not?

If there is, where can I find information about it and is it worth waiting for it so I can buy one in sweden?
 
Yes, it's looing like there will be a Europe-wide launch, but I dont think it's gonna be really worth waiting too long for. If you want one, go ahead and buy one. If the Backlight Unit (BLU) becomes available, then that will be about the only thing worth holding back for, if you have the cash.
 
ok ok, i add more info, the "gerenal" european launch (for france,germany and other countries) depends,at the end, but how runs the sells in spain,portugal and italy.
The info comes directly from GAMEPARK,and the idea its take advantage of the free publiccity of the launch in this countries (magazines in francem for example, will speak about it) and then,distribute in the rest.
its not a legend, Anarchy said it in gp32spain forum,he recieved a internal information, and they only said that info...he knows more but they want/cant said nothing...too bad

if you can trust me, see the gp32spain forum and look for it
 
so it might take ages until it gets to Sweden and that means theres no real point in waiting until the realease...

I might as well buy it now, right?
 
It's stupid to buy a FLU now whereas BLU launch is now a reality in Spain, Portugal and Italy (and after that the rest of Europe if it's a success).

If you buy a FLU now, you will regret very much when BLU releases because the screen colours and visibility will kick asses!:)

As soon it's released in Spain, I'm gonna afford it! :)

You have only ONE month to wait, so don't do a mistake you'll remember all your life because you'll be jealous when you'll read in forums "My BLU is awesome!" ! :)
 
Your Right!

How could I have been so stupid? :rolleyes:

Is there any imformation on how much it will cost, when its realeased and where I could buy one online?

I cant wait!!!!! :D
 
;)
It'll cost 200 euros or 245 dolls, or 130 £.

Only a little more expensive than a FLU at Liksank (170 euros, 208 dolls, 110 £)

It'll be released the first half of May in spain and I think you'll be able to get one on Virgin site : http://www.virginplay.es/paginas/frames.html

If it's a success in Spain, Portugal and Italy, it will be released ONE month later in the rest of Europe. :)

Once it's released I go in Spain! I can't wait too! :)
 
It's not going to be any less expensive when it comes out in spain. The only diffreence is that it will be backlit but will function the same as any other gp32. I would say buy one now it's really not worth the waite. You won't get it any cheaper and it might take a really long time before you see them anywhere in your country. Even after launch you still might not see one beause it could possibly be a small release but I'm not really sure about that. All I'm saying is don't waite game park has tried to do a euro release many times in the past and it has been delayed or cancelled every time. I have faith that this time it will acctually get realeased but I would still be careful.
 
thanx for all the info, this truly is the best Forum/board that has ever existed on this planet :lol:
 
If you can afford it I would buy a non-Flu now because it is better on batteries and can be played outdoors/in bright areas plus it has a bit better screen brightness than FLU because there is no ribbed plastic screen in it. Then if/when the BLU is released get that too for use in the dark, then you will have the best of both worlds.

It Doesnt really matter, you might as well order it from Spain when its released there.
 
Yes But it would be easier if I could go to my local store and buyt it there.
 
A month later miight be a bit soon, maybe more like 2 months to really see if it's selling but there's no reason you couldnt order from Virgin once it drops in spain. (well you know, aside from the spanish :lol:)
