Planning My Gp2x Order

[outofsync]

Well, you guys were quite nice to me when I was asking whether I should wait for an XGP or not, and based on a bunch of other research I've done (IE comparing other homebrew handhelds) I've decided to order one of these machines. What I'm asking is that you guys review my order and make sure I'm not making any stupid mistakes, like ordering something that comes with the system, or ordering a faulty SD card or anything.

So far my order consists of the following.

The system itself-

Carrying case-

TV-Out Cable-

2 gig SD card (thanks to the forum member that found this awesome deal) http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...duct_uid=104113

Thanks very much for all of your help.

I'd ditch the case ... it sucks; the GP2X is rectangular ... that case is oval.

I use a GBA (original, not SP) case ... the official Nintendo brand (which apparantly is hard as hell to find):

Mine is black & grey ... I X-Acto'd off the Ninty logo ... it holds the '2X, my 14-in-1 card reader, spare batteries and extra cards.

Holy crap man, I have that exact case. Thanks for the advice.

[Edit] Do you think a DS case would work fine?

As long as it is not one where you have to cram your gp2x into. My DS case would be too slim as I fear the joystick of the gp2x could break off.

The DS is almost the same shape as the GP2X, so the cases in most cases work fine. I use a pouch for a DS I got in a magazine, it works fine. I suggest putting a glasses cleaning cloth over it and put it in (I use elastic bands), a lof of the cases are very brittle on the inside and tend to scratch the screen (this doesn't matter with the DS since it flips down).

Dont forget to order some rechargeable batteries and charger.

I have the offical case, I quite like it...
