Gp2x In Uk Newspaper

[Nova]

I was at work this morning, and there were a couple of newspapers out in the staffroom. I was just checking out the Daily Express, and came across this article of best consoles under different categories, and to my surprise, saw my GP2x staring back at me, under the category Best Retro Console.

Obviously, I didn't wanna take the paper over to the photocopier and risk looking like a dweeb, So I discretely took this nice high res photo with my phone.

Take a look, the review is pretty flawed in places, but overall, pants coverage is a lot better than no coverage at all, but I doubt the author has ever used the system.

That's one of the worst reviews I've ever seen. No wonder I don't buy the Express. But it's great news for the device to get any sort of publicity, even if it is inaccurate.

That's not as bad as the fact that they "forgot" to mention emulating

Why would they do that? I can't see Major Misunderstanding wanting one!

(For people outside the UK, Major Misunderstanding is a typical Daily Mail reader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Misunderstanding)

 

[frutbunn]

Fuck the express!

:lol: That is the most accurate review of the Express I've ever seen! Maybe you should submit it to Wikipedia!

Well, we don't have a staff room, but I've noticed the express in the room used as a staff room - the toilet

(Maybe it's the best place for it, too )

I had to read the word "seventies" a few times, still makes no sence.

According to the article, we can all download Movies & MP3's from this "SPECIAL" web site. Where the hell
were they searching?

I think they read the back of the box very swiftly and made up the rest, still nice to see something though.

Wow what a waste of time...Nice find though.

That is a shocking review! How can someone who knows so little put their name to something they've researched so little??

I don't know anything about boats, for example(!), but if I was to pen an article about them then I'd read up about where the Atlantic Ocean is...

:lol: Did you miss this bit: Daily Express?

 

[craigix]

I do wish they had mentioned Diana.

 

[ste_167]

Very true You're very much on my wavelength here (as they would say in the 'seventies')

 

[goob]

I do wish they had mentioned Diana.

They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if my real name, Diana Fluck, was in lights, and one of the lights blew..."

I hope that was the right Diana.
