Buy now or wait for euro launch?

[Chris_03]

Ive just about saved up enough money to buy a GP32 Flu and the cheapest 128 card i can find (£17.90 from mx2.co.uk). But with the launch GP32 in Europe confirmed and a website for it setup. I'm wondering whether I should wait (I live in the UK)?

Any ideas on when the launch will probably be and whether I should wait or buy the Korean version now?

:unsure:

Rumour has it that the European launch will be non-FLU. But who knows, it's not long to the Euro launch, so i'd probably wait

Well apparently there aren't going to be any FLU's for europe so if you want a flu you should get a GP32 now. Getting an imported GP32 won't make a difference, the only bit of korean that has ever come up for me is when starting a program in freeelauncer and I thinks that is just some sort of loading message.

"Mitsui plans to announce prices and European lineup within 14 days. There is also a project going on which will make you gamers of the 80's and 90's very happy. More info about it cannot be revealed at the moment."

So you will hear soon, but bear in mind what Namsu just said. Personally i'd get one anyway, because it's brilliant.

I wonder if the no euro FLU rumour is a lie? 'cos it seems strange that FLU production has stopped just before launch. My suspicion is they are redirecting stock to a warehouse ready for the Euro launch.

I think I'll wait a couple of weeks for more info, if the rumour about the euro lauch being non FLU is confirmed though I'll buy a Korean FLU now.
