"early Adoptors" Bonus Items?

[timallen82]

I pre-ordered my GP2X units (2) from GBAX.

Aren't early adoptors of the GP2X supposed to get a case, wrist strap, and TV-out cable? I thought I remember reading that, "If you pre-order now..." those things would be part of the package.

Anyone else remember reading that?

Did they define "early"? Perhaps they meant the first five. I know some people got some extras. I just got my GP2X and a CD. And I'm very, very happy with what I got!

yeah, i did remember reading that also.

some people on the forum said they got a case with their 2X from gbax, but i didnt get anything

also, as far as im concerned "early adopter" is buying BEFORe the official release (official release means when GPH start selling to suppliers that are no official sellers like GBAX_

Well, I managed to get a nice GP32 case of the ASR variety which fits the 2x nicely . No headphones, but hey, there were only 200 or so of the headphone/GP2x specific case sets iirc

Well I got a wrist starp and case with my GP2x but I also got mine free from GPH. One thing I can tell you is you aren't missing out on anything though the wrist strap comes with a pretty cool screen cleaner thing. But other than that the case is pretty basic and you can easily make a wrist strap if you cared.

I pre-ordered from GP32z ... got a free official case. I hated it, so I gave it to a friend who ordered his GP2X after he saw me playing Donkey Kong Country :lol:

I wouldn't want any headphones. It might encourage me to rip out the headphone jack :rolleyes:

 

[subin]

just how bad is the headphone jack? i plan to use headphones primarily, as portable console speakers.. well, they just don't cut it.

I got an officialy gp2x case with my pre-order from gp32z. I preordered the first day I saw that they were accepting them (and i am on these boards just about every day) which is probably around mid september.

It's fine on my unit; I even examined the solder points ... solid.

alright, thanks. the more my fears are subsided on these sorts of things the better XD

All of us have that problem, but those 5 minutes were enough to convince him to get one :lol:

 

[deadlychicken22]

Mine freezes when I use the faster core (press B to start) but works fine (but slow) when I load the original core (press A to start)

 

[whiskthecat]

mine freezes on both cores

​

Sorry for the double post but i also wanted to know why you hated the official case. Because i was thinking about buying one.

 

[LIZARDKING]

I pre- ordered from David @ gp32z.com and I have yet to recieve the GPH case that was promised.....grrr

I got the TV-out Cable as soon as he sent the Email with some items so I responded and asked what's been shipped and no response... He is pretty good with service but he left me hanging on this one....

Jr2swiss I hope you read these boards....

Well, one problem is lack of storage for my card reader, extra batteries, etc.

Also, the case is oval ... the GP2X is not.

The biggest gripe I have is the sctrachy-net like thing inside the top part .. it's just waiting to tear up my pristine screen cover.

It was like the first several hundred who got headphones or a case. About the first 2-3 weeks of the preorders got it, I unfortunately waited 10 days too many also.

On gbax it said "while supplies last", and Craig posted a few times about the amount of supplies and when he ran out.
