Gpx2 Goes Commercial

[Silberstein]

I was just reading the forums on one of Swedens most popular hardware site when suddenly a giant "www.gp2xshop.com" add apeared in front of my eyes. I was a bit of a shock because you would sooner expect something like hardcore pornography. My first reaction was, gosh.. this is all "commercial".. and tasteless, and looks like a cheap add for afrodisiacs. (I really hate when people try to selling things by pairing them up with women with large breast. It's an insult to the male interlect. (Anna Hong is the exception I guess )) But at least its getting some attention!

Anyway, the swedish retailer www.gametronics.se seems to be the ones behind this site, and it looks like they are spending quite alot of money on this campaign.. If I had some point to make with this thread I guess that would be it: It might be a bit tastless, it might be a bit crude, but hey, at least they are spending som ad-money on this thing! maby the Gpx2 will become more "commercial" (as in several non-geeks might actuallt buy it) then some of us expected, leading to more commersial games being developed (or ported). And that should be a good thing!

non-geeks are the worst. :angry:

In the description they say it is a 2nd edition? What is the difference?






just kidding

 

[craigix]

I think it is a touch foolish to promote it too much until the firmware is finished.

RETURNS R E T UR N S arghhhh

 

[lucoxade]

Have things settled down a bit for you now craig? I remember you were getting a lot of stick during the launch period.

 

[Silberstein]

You might be right.

 

[Melville]

It's an insult to the male interlect

​

I agree with you entirely, but that line made me laugh!

 

[vossy]

[Solstar]

Anna Hong is the exception I guess wink.gif)) But at least its getting some attention! wink.gif

wow...

 

[remowilliams]

Hmm, looks like HaWT 61r|5 will love you and your GP2X.

LOL :lol:

 

[nickspoon]

You won't get my GP2X returned, it's fixed itself.

 

[IntenseWage]

That site's pretty snazzy. The girl can't hurt. They even have Buy Now, Pay Later set up.

just needed a nap

I'm on my 3rd gp2x.....

 

[nickspoon]

The girl can't hurt.

Yes she can. You end up getting distracted and not looking where you're going, then BAM! Lamppost in your face.

It's cool that they try to make the gp2x big here in sweden (and make some money), and they have reduced the price with 100kr (12-13$) on gametronic.se. The gp2x is actually cheap than the gp32 on that site.

oh..

What's in the box:

# GP32 BLU
# Free RF Wireless Module
# Free Dungeon & Guarder Smart Media Card
# Three GP32 CD-ROM Media (blank)
# USB Cable
# User Guide (Multilingual)
# Install CD-ROM
# Batteries

That explains the price

Well i say it's a good thing that they promote it.
It mean it's good that they belive in it (and Gametronics isn't the biggest site for consoles in sweden either, so they are taking a risk doing this.) and acually promote it.

Also, i bought my GP2x from that retailor, and im very satisfied with their support (I acually called there support and played the stupid guy asking questions about i heard the that the gp2x killed itself, and they acually told me what the case was, and also told me to go look in the wiki for the gp2x before i decided if i wanted to buy it or not. ).

 

[grahf]

Good to see publicity, although its not quite ready for prime-time..

 

[chimpoid]

Gametronics have been advertising on ebay for a wee while now. It's nice to see that they are developing a more high-class image on the back of it.
