New European Blu Release

[reeced]

Check the item on new official Italian distributor on GPNews (www.gp32news.com) - isn't that a MoviePark screen in the picture ?

yeah that looks like movie park and I saw movie park in theat other blu video so I'm thinking movie park will probably be the free movie player and gpcinima will probably still be pay unless they are just using movie park for promotion which is weird. They acctually did mention emulation on an offical add which is weird but hell it's pretty much what sells it.

Where is the official ad?

 

[PeDRoRist]

Bah, I'm not too sure about this add... I mean, they show GPDoom and mention "PC Game emulation" which is of course untrue. Maybe they misunderstood what GPDoom is, or maybe they're boldly lying, but either way, I'm not putting much faith in those screenshots.

Time will tell

Can I have a link to this ad??? dammit i should have just looked at the link before sorry

I'm from Italy and have just called the phone number in the ad...
They're makink a promo, and I asked them if they can sell to users... they answered that gp32 will be sold only to shops, so I asked for a date: half of may 2004.

Just called my friend's store to make him call and order the BLU! B)

The ad it's not a fake... i think they don't know what kind of console they're selling... plus the ad shows a SMC... it's not included.. and the price seems to be high: 199,99? :blink:

Just wait only 1 month!! )

I think the new ones will include a SMC. Why not ask to make a better Ad yourself?

199 EUR isn't that bad compared to current GP32 prices, since it's a Back-lit Unit...

Coz I've no time to make an ad.. I'm working to release my GP32iDE in the very few days B)

Btw: they could put the freelauncher on the CD-Rom (if they give one with the GP) or even on the SMC (also if they give one with the console)

:blink:

Gamepark doesn't want to sell craig GP32's anymore (at least not unless he buys a $300,000 batch), and they are using a program that he helped make (GPDoom) in their ad?? That is not a good idea...

BTW, Can anyone scan/show me a Italian version of the ad? Cuz I can sort of read Italian (and speak almost perfectly) and I want to understand what it says

The last Euro Firmware that I saw would load Commercial (GXE/GXC) and Freeware (FXE) files all in one screen. So, it's likely that there will be no need for a separate launcher for FXEs.
