Whats In The Box For Those Who Purchased From Gbax

[Hobo]

Hi guys.
Does anyone know what is in the GP2X box for us Gbax users. On the site it says preorders get a free case and headphones. Also a CD.
Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

im guessing if its on the box then its true,,,,

Has anyone actually received a GP2X from gbax.com yet?

I don't care whats on the CD as long as its not James Blunt, David Gray or Daniel Powter

 

[Ninjia^]

Amen to that! \m/

Amen the band would be pretty cool to have on the CD come to think of it...

Or maybe a short documentary "behind the scenes at GBAX" I can see big things for you craigix! B)

Well, any software that will be on the CD will surely also be downloadable at the archive, so I wouldn't care too much

Only while stocks last, and they probably ran out quite a while ago.

Which would beg the question....since they have obviously been updating the site with "news" bits...if they had run out of the free items why wouldn't/didn't they remove the advertisement for them?

Because craigix is busy testing all the units so he can send them out asap because people have been threatening to cancel their pre-orders and spreading so many unfounded rumours about bugs which probably don't even exist.

Give the man a break. He's put so much time and effort into the whole thing, leave him alone.

Edit: as for the CD, since the only things released ATM are the SNES emulator alpha and Quake 1 and 2 ports, I doubt craigix will be burning off x hundred (thousand?) CDs with < 10mb of stuff on them.

VERY good point. And all of that software will quickly be obsolete with new versions out to download.

The CD will contain drivers for the GP2X to be linked to the PC as well as movie and music de-coders

Any emu's / Games will be a bonus

If the box has dots on it, then it probably has pizza in it.

Your Avatar is awesome gp2brew did you make it?

 

[Winterkid]

I don't care how good it is, no pizza oughtta cost that much or take that long to deliver. *laughs* (NO, not complaining about ordering time). I'm sure a pizza with SD cards wouldn't taste too great either.

I dont' really need to get a CD with mine, unless GP32z feels the need to include one. I can always burn anything I download to blanks and paper them up as backups.

Oh, handy tip... If you're burning games that are ports like Doom or Quake or Duke3D to CD as backups for your GP32, don't forget to burn the DATA files you need for each game also, minus the PC versions of the files you wont need.

Thanks Yeah I photoshopped the GP2X image from GBAX, and put the stabbed penguin image on the screen that Eolair posted as a joke in "The Penguin Must Die" thread.

I quite probably have far too much spare time

I agree completely, the CD isn't really very significant as part of the purchase. There's not much to go on it yet anyway, and anyway within a month or so someone will have collected all the good stuff and uploaded an ISO to P2P networks

Although, I suppose a CD would be the appropriate manner in which to distribute the GPL license, source code and the SDK. h34r:

I had two CDs that came with my Palm T3, i don't think I ever took them out of the packet! Just because you can download the latest versions from the internet.

The same with coverdiscs on magazines, back in the day of CU Amiga and Amiga Format they were a godsend but these days they are there just to rip the front of the magazine with super sticky stuff.
