It's Getting Closer

[jegHegy]

i saw at http://www.gp32news.com/ that there's a small ad on Virgin PLAY's website about the european launch in may! see it for yourself at http://www.virginplay.es/

Ohhhhh..... Hope that (1) The CPU/Chips are the same in the redesigned euro one (2) It it launched in Germany (3) One of my friends gets one.... (So I can brag that I have the "original")

Anyways, must post this now....

What about the UK?

 

[Antiriad]

indeed! why not the UK, France and Germany too!!!

 

[watzza_uppa]

e-mailed sum1 from gbax.com aparently its definitly mega-positively absolutly not coming out in uk :angry:

sorry if u already Knew that

 

[BaDToaD]

One step at a time. If it's a success then maybe the'll expand into the rest of europe. Any Euro launch is better than no launch.

 

[argon0]

Also with Eu legislation it should be real easy to buy stuff from the continent!

No offense to craig, but i'm sure if virgin sells bucketloads, they may well start selling them wherever they have stores (ie the UK)

I have not told anyone that they are not going to release it here, infact since I can't get them anymore I hope they do so I can restock... GP won't sell them to me anymore unless I place a $300,000 order!

Thats a lotta, lotta Gps

Agreed, plus they'll be easier (perhaps cheaper) to get hold of for people in Europe

From what GP have said to me with the backlit LCD and whatever else they are changing they are going to be more expensive.

For the $300,000 I would be paying MORE per unit than I pay for 100 units.

Besides they have none left anyway until virgin pay them for the 20,000 they have ordered.

[unlucky]

my god game parkl are bad at guessing the market they're making them more expensive ?!?!?!?

 

[Steve-O]

so is all the specs going to be kept the same Craig??? or do you not know??

 

[Sonic-NKT]

if the have a backlit lcd i get another one...
hope good games will be released

For the $300,000 I would be paying MORE per unit than I pay for 100 units.

surely thats a typo.

Your saying that if you made the $300 000 order, it would break down to you paying more for 1 unit than you used to for 100???

or am i missing something??

It is a different product. I take it he means the old GP32 was cheaper per unit than the new one, even if you buy in very large quanities.

 

[Sonic-NKT]

the gp32 will be a bit more expensive than the other handhelds i think, cause it just makes money with the console, nintendo (and all the others)make also money with Games and so on.

 

[Tempus]

The price of going mainstream. Sucks, glad I got mine three weeks ago!

 

[Deep Thought]

Well, hopefully it will be a success. At the very least it might bring some more European developers on board as well as helping make sure the GP32's successor makes it out.

i think this is so cool....might even get me a second one!!!
