if I am not mistaken there is a differance between gamepark and gamepark holdings so the xgp is a foolow up od gp32 and not the gp2x, am I right?

GPH is a new company started by most of GP's employees. GP is developing the XGP series, though they don't have much at all in common with the GP32's.

Hmm. Gamepark Holdings and Gamepark used to be one company, and together they developed the GP32, an open-source handheld machine (although a couple of commercial games were made for it). But, afterwards they split. I assume this was becuase one side of the company wanted to make a commercial games handheld machine (AKA: the XGP) to compete with Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS. However, the other part wanted to keep their idea of open-source gaming. So, they split, and GPH made the open-source GP2X, and GP is making the XGP, with which they'll take an uprising (just a metaphor) against the popular DS and PSP handhelds. Looks like there'll be combat amongst who'll sit on the palm of the gamer!

EDIT: GP'll be making three models of the XGP. One, the standard, the best, and the most expenisve of the three, with all the nifty toys such as more space, better hardware, etc. The other will be the XGP Mini, a smaller version the XGP. This would be, in Nintendo's eyes, a comparison between the GBA and the Game Boy Micro (one bigger, the other smaller). However, the XGP Mini will be slightly technologically inferior to the XGP. And, finally, GP will be making the XGP Kids, which is a lot like the GP32. It will be aimed at those who missed out on the GP32, and also to younger children. The XGP will be at an estimated target price of $300 USD, the XGP Mini at half the price (between $180 and $150) , and the XGP Kids at $90. Cool, huh?

Most of the employees when gampark developed gp32 are currently working for GP not GPH.

Meant 'engineers', not 'employees'. My bad.

I meant both engineers and employees.

What's this about? Anyone know that funny language?

 

[Epicenter]

It's Korean, but I sure as hell can't read it. I really wish I could because it looks important.

"n English:

Customer everybody! It loves the GP32 during that time and it gives and it grudges and and it gives and and and from large grade thanks it gives. It executed during A/S come into the market after 5 years and with the materials problem which comes but it was caused by and more the A/S above was impossible and. With 2006 September 16 part to be discontinued ni the customer field wide gain and loss and understanding entrusting to give. with a sooner or later better product greeting in order to give again on the customer wild front. Thank you. game park (week) compensation"

I think it says theyre discontinuing the gp32 to better serve their customers, or something.

 

[Mudi]

The gp32 has been discontinued for the last... forever.

 

[Alex.]

I'm really keen on that "game park (week) compensation"

That's like 1 hour in "Gamepark time" concerning news

 

[shinneri]

I asked Gamepark about that post ages ago. All it said was they won't repair GP32s anymore after that date.

I realised that, but its nice to warm up cold threads every now and then

EDIT: BTW, can we now discount the xgp as vapourware?

No, I think something will come out eventually... I'm just not sure what. :unsure:

I doubt it's ever going to happen. How hard can it be to put a basic 3D chip inside a gp32-style case? Not four-years hard, that's fer sure!
