Korean Gp2x Alright To Buy?

[mizunox]

A friend of mine is coming back from S.Korea in a couple of weeks.
I'm thinking about asking her to bring me a GP2X... do you guys know if there are any issues with this?

I suppose the OS will be in Korean, but can I change or replace it?


The alternative is to get it from play-asia.com for $169USD +shipping to Canada.
I believe it will be less expensive directly from Korea.

Or you could buy it from a canadian retailer. http://www.gamersection.ca/product_info.ph...8b529e6344c7d59

I came back from Seoul a few weeks ago. While I was there I bought one of the first ever produced plus a MK2. For what you pay GPH throws in 4 Sanyo 2700mah rechargables (very nice batteries), a charger (it will not work in Canada, you'll need a converter) and a USB SD card reader. A pretty nice buy.

The OS is in English. There doesn't seem to be a Korean version of the GP2X OS.

It will be more expensive directly from Korea because of all the bonus things that they throw in. Your friend will also need a Korea citizen to order it off the net for you. I have no idea about buying directly from the GPH offices, though they are in Seoul.

I agree. I havent had any anime signature for like how many months now? Plus I am hardly on this website anymore.. I only come to check up on programs for the gp2x. Only my display pic is anime.. and its not big at all

Grow up. That anime sig thing is how old now?

Oh and for the gp2x I suggest gp32z.com They got the goods

I'm sorry, Drak. I will now remove that comment from my signature.

Great, thanks for the info.
Yeah- She's Korean, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I was hoping she could get it from Yong-San or similar electronic market for a bargain. Then again, girls (and foreigners) dont fair too well in that kind of place from what I've heard. It'll probably cost me $300 then....

So maybe I should just get it from that Canadian retailer posted above (thanks!)

Next question then.. How can I be sure that it's the one with the new screen?

If it says MK2 or Make 2, it has the new screen/joystick thing

I always thought "MK" was for "Mark"

I never once saw one at Yong San. I'm pretty sure that you can only get them direct from GPH in Korea.

Why the fuck did they spell it with a K? Seriously...

Okay, so here's what she found for me online:

Prices are not so hot.

I'll order from a Canadian or US site.

It's not Mario Kart? :huh:

Curse the K's for C's idea.

I was in Yongsan for the first time today and looked everywhere, but I could not find a GP2x anywhere (I bought mine last month from play-asia). Yongsan is awesome though, you have to experience it to believe it.

Agreed.. never have people wanted your attention so much as the salesmen at YongSan.
Makes you feel like a star...

Marketing. You spell it with a K, it looks more interesting.

Mortal Combat
Mortal Kombat

The second one catches your eye a bit, plus, MK sounds cooler than MC.
