Hi there. I have a small presales question. smile.gif

So, if I buy a GP2X, from gp2x.co.uk, will it be "totally new"?

Thanks.

I did when I brought mine!
They would say if it was a "second" or "pre-owned" model.

So will it be 100% totally new brand spanking spotless dum diddly umptios new?

You could alway email them and ask :-)

They screwed me out a free tv-out that I was promised for a VERY late order...
Bastards never even returned my emails...
BenScar
Sad to hear that, I've always found them pretty quick to answer emails.

I bought mine from when the GP2X first came out. I probably got in the second batch since I ordered right before it was released. I had to return mine to them and they sent me a new one quickly. I would recommend them.

I also wouldn`t answer your emails, if you were that rude...

If you order a TV-Out cable from GP2X.CO.UK, make sure it is the one with the Male S-Video connector.

Just answer his question!

Come on, will it be completely utterly new? Will it be clean.

It must be clean.

I have brought two GP32's, two DS's and a GP2x from them. Yes it will be new.

I have been nothing but polite and it infuriates me that they fail to stand up to their promises.
Thus Bastards...

Without gp2x.co.uk i seriously doubt if there would ever been a gp2x...
Vimacs
sure they are new... gp2.co.uk is one of the most recommended gp2x retailers.

I've heard that GPH actually build the units WITH THEIR OWN HANDS! Disgusting.
Mark Adams
Well yer, thats the main cause of the LED reverse polarity issue cos sum 14 year old chinese idiot cant solder LEDs properly (machines can do it cos leds arent surface mountable)

I just hope they wear gloves...

Its ok, AFAIK gp2x.co.uk only sell the GP2Xs that have been made in Korea. Now i'm gonna stop feeding the troll.

PS: Top recomendations to GP2X.co.uk (to anyone else reading)
Squidge
Just make sure you use gloves to remove the gp2x from it's box, and wash your gp2x before using to prevent catching bird flu/scar's disease. Don't want you to have that now do we?

[I smell a troll... ]
Mark Adams
Ok, so some 15 year old Korean sweatshop worker is paid 0.10 yen an hour to solder highly dangerous LEDS and PSU parts to a motherboard? Recipe for GP2X disaster.

I cant wait for my GP2X to come in the post, just 2 more months to wait!
Samba Pa Ti
leds are dangerous ?

proof please!

also, gp2x.co.uk do next day delivery (royal mail special delivery). you would know this if you had ordered one.. surely.
Mark Adams
No no no, 2 months till I can afford it. Im on Korean Game Park Holdings factory wages at the moment.
Peter R
9 grains of rice per unit produced?
Mark Adams
Worse than that.

i hope you're not wearing nikes as you make these posts...

Strange, I wonder how those LEDs on the developer board were fixed there. They're certainly too small to hand solder smile.gif.
Mark Adams
Ive come across some pretty lame Nike ripoffs in my time, DONT WEAR timberlands, in 2004, their main factory (Kingmaker Footwear) was accused of beating women who worked theyre and poisoning them with rotten food.

Maybe those LEDS on the dev board where part of a much larger section of the PCB, so the korean kids had to solder a large section of PCB to another PCB board to fit the lights on.

You'd be surprised mate at the power of the chinese factory workers! Some of the things they do, it makes my paperound look like no work at all, and I thought I get paid shit wages 10 quid for walkin round like a plonker for 2 hours putting papers through peoples doors. THESE guys have to be electronics experts and trained (without the training) electro static bonding machine workers. laugh.gif

Nope, I think you were just wrong.

What the hell is an electrostatics bonding machine? Electrostatics is an area of physics, closesly related to magnetism.

err, anyway... to answer the topic...
I bought a Gameking (lol) back when they were still GBAx.com - seemed brand new. Although, those things are made in China, much different manufacturing proceedure than Korea blink.gif
