Gp2x Featured In Stuff Magazine (uk)

[soup_nazi]

The GP2X is featured on page 12 of the current issue of Stuff magazine in the UK. It's number 2 in their Hot Stuff, The Hot Five feature. Here's what they said:

Stuff loves to champion the underdog but all too often it's ill-advised. He typically doesn't have the resources to create products worth having and, when we-re heart on sleve honest about this, he gets snarly and bites our ankles. We expect no such thing from the GP2X though. this Linux-running multimedia device has a dual-core 240MHz ARM processor that offers blistering performance on SNES, Megadrive and Atari ST emulators, DivX movie playback (with widescreen TV out) and the 500-odd free games currently available online. Underdog it might be but it looks like a friendly Alsatian to Stuff - big tetth, powerful jaws and a keen sense of intelligence.

Nice to see the 2X get a whole page to iself in a highstreet mag - even if they left out the homebrew nature and the community . Nice big glossy picture though...

Awesome. And there was some mention to the "500-odd free games", even if they weren't declared homebrew.

On that note, GP2X sighted in uk lads mag ZOO. The info isn't exactly true but at least it gets a mention.

Cave.

I thought they sweat through their paws...
Anyway, good to see some mags advertising - the more gp2xes (?) sold the better.

What I was about to post. That article is about as likely to be true as the PS3 is to live up to all the hype and be released November of last year...

Did the GP2X really sell 30,000 units? That'd be incredible if true...

I thought those were the numbers for the GP32 sales.

I thought those were the numbers for the GP32 sales.

they were . . . maybe they mixed up gp2x and gp32 . . .

 

[DBH]

They got the geek part right at least though no? lol

Talking of magazines, it may have already been said on this forum but the GP2X Mk2 got a pretty favourable write up in the latest Edge mag, thats not something that I expected to see especially after their less than positive comments about the 1st model!!

...they probably got it off the gp2x wiki page; that incorrectly states the gp2x as having sold 30,000 and quotes a web page as a source for this figure - but the source web page says 30,000 for the gp32 not gp2x.

Hm, the GP32 received 2nd place in their annual awards for Hardware Innovation of the Year (2003), beating the GBA SP.

Don't be too harsh on ZOO - I know they have their knockers but its an informative, quality read!

I think we've almost missed the point, here!

What could Stuff possibly think was better than the GP2X?!
