Gpx2's New Name Is Gp2x

[Tebb]

Keep dreaming.

Your tone of speech isn't the most pleasant one, is it? What's with you?


And do you have anything against Koreans?

​

Well, first, excuse me for my tone. I'm a bit angry at GPH, they really shouldn't have had held the contest.

And I played a MMORPG before which was also produced and administrated by a Korean company. I hated the way they administrated the server, they didn't answer emails, and finnally they made weird changes to it until people stopped playing. That's why I said that abut them, I don't have anything against Koreans.

Once again, sorry, I'm just a bit angry. :angry:

Well, then be angry at GPH, not us. :angry:

But if GPH chooses GPX2, we'll have to do with it. Still they're a great company and they've been keeping a close relationship with users.

As for the contest, GPH made it clear for us even if they do not choose any of the names there, a unit will be given to one of their favorites. So someone will get a unit nonetheless. B)



And as for the MMORPG, it sounds like Ragnarok. It was downhill all the way ever since Hak-Kyu Kim, the lead programmer/CEO of Gravity was forced to leave his company and Gravity was given to some unprofessional bastard with lots of stock in his hand.

It was not only the North America, but they experienced poor services, constant server lags and other buncha stuffs in Korea and Japan as well.

Anyways, Gravity is no more. They've been sold to some Japanese game company...


Cheers.

Actually I got it confused. I tried to say GP2X is gay but I could no longer tell which name we've been using for past few months...

lol

 

[Draken]

Ah, right. =)

 

[RoboJoe32]

I prolly didn't get a final 12 consideration, I suggested Eclipse (due to the black/white color launchs, and how it can change function as fast as an eclipse changes the time of day.)

Ah well

 

[Hanz™]

GP2x is a crap name if this is right. Darn!

 

[Digitalrat]

gp2x.de is also already registered, and ED just said that he registered a domain with the new name

 

[Huxley]

That sucks. 'GPX2' rolls off the tongue a lot easier than 'GP2X'.

It would have been better to go with a totally new name. Much confusion ensues.

So true, but I still don't think they are going to name it gp2x. I think they are just trying to take the domains so no one else can have them, its not like it costs that much. All they did was register some domain names, just like that other person mention gogle.com Lets just hope I am right.

 

[tommymordecai]

man i entered loadsa names i think gp2x was one of em... i really want one of these so being a frebie is better

 

[davey g]

GP2X was only submitted once by someone called Matt. So if it is true then he'll get one and no one else. It would fulfill their part of the competition.

 

[craigix]

The main reason for this name is to stop confusion and to keep the current press and exposure of the gpx2 name.

GP2X is the name, or GP twice the power (2X) if you like.

And as was said, it was one of the entered names. There were big problems with most names due to them already being registered somewhere in the world. GP2x was one of the few which was available.

Hell guys dont be so down. It could be a lot worse, like the system could be in the shape of an old boob named tits up. Who cares what the name is really? As long as GPH gets the hardware to us I don't care what it's called.

Craig I sent an email to preorder a while back and have got no reply or info on how to pay so let up know the easiest way to buy the GP2x through you. -thanks

It sounds like "gi pi tux" <- reference to linux?

 

[Alpha2]

Hmmm. I never expected anyone to stop calling it the GPX2, and frankly that's what I'm going to keep calling it. I never bothered to enter the contest either because I knew that 1. it was the best possible name already and 2. nothing I came up with would have been any better than the nearly thousands of bad names that were being posted (no offense to people here but I just think unless you were sitting in on discussions with GPH you wouldnt have enough inside knowledge to truely understand what the system was in their minds and thus pick a name that fits their desires.) If it bother's anyone really badly just make your own sticker and call it what you like.

Long live the GPX2... or whatever you want to call it.

I have no problem with the new name, but why the hell'd they have to do this big contest thing only to swap 2 letters around? Couldn't they have just decided on that without wasting all that time?

 

[Alpha2]

It's obvious they were hoping for a better name, but they just didn't get one that fit.


Strangly enough, That interview that Poloo2 posted yesterday said something about GPH changing the name from GP2X to GPX2. I guess they just changed it back because they already had a trademark on that name.

 

[Magus 86]

lol, that makes it even more of a waste of time... BAH! damn those foolish Koreans... as long as the system doesn't suck(and what are the chances of that?), I don't really care what it's called or that they wasted time... I just don't see the point though. but if they're changing it back because they already have a copyright or whatever... why'd they ever need to try to change it in the first place then?

 

[Alpha2]

The point was they tried.

I assume "GPX2" which they changed to was later discovered to actually have been taken somewhere in the world which was the innitial reason for the name change. When no better name came up, they reverted to the old name and awarded the one guy who came up with it.

It's like how the Gamecube is the GCN when it should be the NGC (Nintendo Game Cube) but something already had that designation so they went with the massively more retarded GCN.
