I'm very interested in buying a gp2x-console. It's open, powerful and seems easy to develop for. However, I’m a bit curious about whether I would get one if I made an order. A lot of people on this forum seem to have gotten their gp2xs, on the other hand many seem to not have gotten theirs yet as well. Some sites say nothing about whether they have the gp2x in stock or not (gametronics, in Swedish) while others say they’re still taking pre-orders and don’t expect seeing any units until 2006 (gp2x.de). Is it possible to get a hold of a unit or do I have to wait until early 2006 before I get my gp2x, if I order one today? What do you people think?

First batch was complete, so if any of distributer has none of it, you should try ebay or something. (Someone who unhappy with GP2X )

The second batch will be Q1 2006.

everyone who has theirs now, it seems that this release has been dubbed a 'beta version', AFAIK the official launch is early next year, by which time most of the hardware/software bugs will be ironed out, so might be an idea to wait...

I pre-ordered too late for the first batch off EvilDragon, and at his shop(http://shop.gp2x.de it says it expects the next batch somewhere in December? Where did you get the Q1 2006 information? I would be seriously down if I didn't get one before the holidays

I thought that lik-sang claimed that they always had the second edition gp2x in stock.

They're taking pre-orders, and that item (the pre-order item) is always in stock, not the actual units.
