"Is that a gameboy?"
"No, it's... Yeah, it's a gameboy..."

 

[tengen]

gp2x. lol. no prb. from now on it is the gp2x for me. sounds a little weird to say, but i'm sure we'll get used to it eventually

(i changed my sig by the way B) )

 

[reallynotnick]

*looks at 100's of gpx2 shirts I just made*

*Damn* *grabs sharpie*

Just kidding

Man what I would give for a "Horny Playing Game" and I though feel the magic xx/xy was a little on the edge!

 

[junker]

I honestly dont understand why people are so mad about the naming contest existing. People didn't give them a good enough choice of names to pick from, this is not a suprising move if you concider all the entries bad.

Be glad they didnt just say "All your entries suck, Please try again".

​

yeah

 

[shinneri]

I wonder if they're even going to change the logo... heh, as if much would have to be done to change it..

It'll work. Kind of prefered X2, but 2X will probably grow on me... I'm just worried that we'll see tons of "What the difference between the GPx2 and the GP2x?" posts popping up.


Gah, I have to edit my entire site for two characters.

www.google.com has www.gogle.com too.

[IntenseWage]

Who cares? What matters is the quality of the system and the support it gets.

 

[mattbakse]

wait wtf i put GP2X but i never got an email

Anyways, GPX2 is a homosexual name... quite unimaginative.

and yes it was quite unimaginative i couldn't think of anything else so i just thunk, "Hey what the hell why not just switch the 'X' with the '2'"
i didn't think they'd actually choose it

 

[shinneri]

You'll get an e-mail soon, it seems, Matt. And there are two other winners.

Official word: http://www.gpx2.com/support/support_sugest...o=1312&bunho=11

 

[mattbakse]

i know there were two other winners but they were chosen for other reason stated in the announcemnet

 

[Alpha2]

a lot of web sites get domains for misspellings of their regular name because they know someone will eventually type it wrong and they'd rather someone not get a virus and tell people they got it from google.

I originally thought that was the reason for them registering it.

 

[tommymordecai]

yeah i used babel fish - wow thyre great arent they ^U^ made my day completely too!!!!!! hahahaha cant stop laughing over animal horny!!!

 

[tommymordecai]

Hi Tommy,
As you might found out on the bulletin of our website, there were uncountably many naming suggestions. In your case, you put too many names like a dictionary and funny ideas in Korean letters so that most people might misunderstand your seriousness as mischievousness. And it does not contain GP2x.

Your name idea was the following 11 ideas and they pulled no interest of the person in charge. Also no interest to read any of your long explanation of the ideas. For your information, GPX was already registered by a Japanese company so that GPX2 or GPXX might be rejected by Authority. That's why we were going to change the name.

I believe you will clearly understand our position.

so i replied with

dear sir/madam

too many names like a dictionary? i am extremely insulted i did not name things like a dictionary also the "funny" korean names were purely down to the translation of babelfish, i was not being mischievious at all i was being serious (other people left gp enis that is mischievious and being funny gp2x, gpxx and all the others i sent were not sent to be nasty if you have a problem with the translations i suggest you contact babel fish and tell them their translation services are crap!)and trying to enter a competition matt won the name competition with one "gp2x" the same i put in my email to yourselves a day before. Yourselves asked for an explanation of the names this i gave - i adhered to all the rules i find it extrememly upsetting you should say such things especially when i purchased a gp32 and intend to purchase a gp2x which i entered the name on august 3rd and the guys who entered the same name the day after won.

i find it upsetting you should speak to your current and future customers in such a way.

Also since you were talking about the boards maybe you can read the postings about the whole thing being for publicity and a con.

thank you for your help and customer orientated service. I look forward to the continued success in europe of your gp32 and gp2x.

tommy



so its a con mine was accepted on august 3rd and wasnt viewed by the head of the competition but matts was on august 4th it stinks big time - good on you matt at least you get to have a gp2x i hope you enjoy it im in two minds whether i want to buy one now after being spoke to like im being nasty!!

how can they say it doesnt contain gp2x? i sent the 3 emails kept copies of the two emails i sent to them when i couldnt use their website and they replied showing the gp2x!! pure con!!
maybe my name means something dodgy. in korean or something i dont know there are reasons why people are chosen - im glad a few were won since when were some of my ideas like right out of a dictionary? i dont even have a dictionary?!?
so much for me i support korean music, i have a korean friend, i buy a korean handheld - i purchased my games through gamepark - what a con CON CON!!!!
anyway thats enough of me looking like a sore looser im not gonna look a prick coz a competition is a fu*king con. i just know where i stand as a customer of gamepark/gamepark holdings.
