More Gp2x In The Press

[FluffyPanda]

More coverage here and here

The second one had a few confused comments that I've tried to set straight.

Good job Fluffy, I wasnt aware that the 'official' UK release date was May 18th since I've had mine since the release date, i wonder if theres going to be any kind of advertising.

 

[thelamer]

Yeah nice work . I hate it when rumors like it only runs at 100mhz or it bricks itself surface . Way to put out the fire early .

 

[wiggythebrave]

Also, I thought it had two 200mhz processors, not one duel core 240mhz.

its vaguely one and the same thing. ie there is a big processor running at 200mhz (quoted as underclock as most/all processors are) then a second inside the first one.

 

[nickspoon]

The two processors are housed on a SoC (system on a chip). They are both separate processors, but on one chip. Each of them is clocked at 200MHz (100 on the menu) but craigix says that he's never seen a unit that can't go to 240.

so in essence this could be classed as a cut down dual core portable games machine....for marketing ?

 

[craigix]

Yep the press release isn't perfect, I did correct them on a few things but I guess this is what you get using PR companies, in one report they said the screen was 320x240mm!

See, it could have been worse

:lol: I'd love to see someone fit a 32 cm wide screen on a handheld. Do people not proof read anymore? Lets see, geek.com and a gaming site... You'd think they'd know better

Care to tell us who the offender was so we can all point and laugh?

 

[air-can]

This may seem like a silly thing to say, but hasn't the GP2X been out in the UK for a while now? Surely this is just the launch of the Mk.2?

I also don't like how that article states it is to compete with the PSP. Fair enough it can compete in music and movies, but not games. I mean obviously most people buy the GP2X for emulation, but that's what it's aimed for, not for graphically amazing 3d games like the PSP is.

 

[PSyMastR]

LOL 320x240mm Thats great.

Ya, my old gp2x went to about 280 stable, my new one wont hit 260.

 

[FluffyPanda]

And yet more coverage

Nice to see that your advertising budget is having an effect Craig.

On the other hand... we'll be swamped :blink:

 

[nickspoon]

heck, it’s like a PSP lite.

Ugh.

Yeah, made me cringe too.

I think they must be biased somewhat. So it's better than a DS, but worse than a PSP. Isn't the DS kicking the PSP's arse at the moment? Personally, I think the PSP is pretty pointless, the DS is funky as hell for commercial games and the GP2x wins in all the other fields.

Then again, I'm biased too

Oh, and nickspoon, great avatar.

Oh, and nickspoon, great avatar.

Thanks. Your avatar rocks too. Panda

Yet more press

And this one is typed twice for double the fun!

 

[FluffyPanda]

another and another

The press just keeps on coming. I'd love to see a graph of the sales figures by month.

The second article links to the Gamepark website not GPH......
