Just Arrived; Had A Few Surprises Too!

[deadlychicken22]

my gp2x just arrived today, with a case, and its #00000038!
But i'm a little dissapointed in my $5.99 screen protector, it came PRE-scratched, as in i didn't even touch it and i could see scratches all over it.... I'm not going to send it back or anything, but its still a little bit sloppy.

​

:lol:

No no no, it has a VERY hard to see protective film ... took me 3 or 4 minutes of picking at the corner to remove it.

​

You mean that the SEPERATE screen protector that i purchased has a protective film on it!?! I removed the film on the actual screen and on the plastic front, i'm talking about the screen protector that I paid an extra 5.99 for...

Im not positive, but i imagine that one having the same vinyl on it too.

I lost the thread,

But someone said that the string with 2005.11.13 - GP2XV100 - 00000068

For instance, the date is obvious, but the GP2XV100 is the first batch, GP2XV101 would be the second batch.

Thus I assume you could get the same serial number with different production runs.

On the screen protector note I used a plastic picnic fork with all but one of the tines broken off to remove all my vinyl protectors.

The last tine does a good job of picking under the vinyl in a corner and then you can get a grip on it with your fingers.

Please be careful, I only report what worked well for me with skill and caution.
I am not responsible if you manage to jam a plastic picnic fork through any part of your game device or person.

Quick, did you get silica gel, or a wet wipe, or a condom, or some lubricant, or is it some freeze-dried ice cream instead of a lolly?

Comedy Gold!

​

Unfortunately for comedy, I am pleased to announce that a dry GP2X has wended its way to my door this morn.

Courtesy one packet Silica Gel, do not eat, offer void in New Mexico, etc. . .

Interesting, mine (arrived today!) says "first edition" on it yet the serial number starts with "2005.11.18 - GP2XV102". Does this mean they're making a new batch every week?
