My serial number and date is: 2005.11.09 - GP2XV003 - 00000095
Does his mean I have a really old one (relatively speaking of course)?
Could that be the reason my screen is so flickery? Also my battery life still seems very low, could an older unit increase the likelihood of a bad regulator?
How Old Is My Gp2x?

So then it's a first edition 
I have one too. You got it when it first came out, and it's part of the first batch, like mine.
I hope I cleared that part up, now ill leave it to the spec freaks here to answer the other questions

If it really is flickery then EvilDragon or any distributor can do the resistor mod to it and fix that.My serial number and date is: 2005.11.09 - GP2XV003 - 00000095

Also you may have a bad regulator if you have some good charged 2,500mAh NiMH batteries that power a GBA with a snake light for more than 7 hours(my brother claims about 9 hours! a week of playing for him) but won't take your GP2X beyond an hour or two.

Are those last digits the actual number of the device in manufacturing? If so, then I guess they've sold about five thousand units, considering mine says this: 2006.06.02 - GP2XV127 - 00004961
Maybe the third bit is reset to zero with every revision, but I kind of doubt it. Five thousand already is not bad at all, considering the GP32 sold 30 000 in... what? Four years? Five?

No No No. They sold more then 5000.
Thats 5000 units from the batch on 2006.06.09
Or 5000 units from the batch on 2006.06.02
etc...
The first part is the date of manufacturing. The second is the version number of the hardware (revisions, etc... I think, not 100% on this part) and the last is your number from that batch.

The first part is the date that particular 2x left the factory. The second part, however, it not the revision, but the run of manufacture. The third part is how far along the unit was within the run.
So
2006.06.09 - GP2XV127 - 00004975
means this GP2X left the factory on June 9th 2006, as a part of manufacture run #127 (which is actually run #28, as the runs started at 100 for some reason), and was GP2X # 4,975 within run 28.

That's the first day gp2x were produced. So you could say it's old

The OPs GP2X seems to contradict that theory:
