Tv Thing On The Xgp

[ev0_nilz]

I've seen on the comparing page between gp2x and xgp that the xgp has some sort of Tv reciever? But only for korean users, will there be an update for USA and Europe users maybe? As it does have some like firmware update thing.

Nobody here would know. And it's very unlikely.

Well, what I understood was it's some kind of digital TV, using either some Korean specific digital TV broadcast system , or via Digital cellphone system (3rd generation cellphone like)

Pretty unlikely to work in PAL europe or analog NTSC USA ...
Already my TV ability on my laptop (japanese digital system) does not work here in Europe ...

If they would want to make an update for european users, they would need to pay much for a license to do so. I don't expect that, because the XGP is planned for Korea mainly.

My thing is what's the point of getting one of these things if it doesn't have good games? I mean ability to have emus on a portable is old news now my N-GAGE does that for peets sake, Is there anything new with both the gp2x or xgp at all?

This console runs the emu's better and may support even newer consoles. As well of more pc ports.

GPH told me that GP have not been able to get the licence for that part of the design, as its going to be unique to some samsung handheld.

So no TV out on the XGP? ouch loss of hitpoints! But it might make the system cheaper now... probably not significantly though.

DMB is the 'Mobile TV' standard being adopted in Korea. However Europe is adopting DVB-H. Basically the two technologies are competing with each other. Which begs the question, will there be a DVB-H version of the XGP??
