GamePark Holdings' GP2X F-200 coming in October

I hope GagaMan doesn't cry about this as he just bought a GP2X, but this could be interesting:

Doesn't look like the tech specs vary too much though, so it may not make a difference in emulation quality ( bummer there).

To be honest, I don't think I care much about the touch-screen as the software to utilize it would have to homebrew stuff, which I doubt could beat my DS stuff.

But I'm curious if the body will be any thinner (doesn't look like it) or if the battery life will be better (again, I doubt it) and obviously, it doesn't have a flip-down lid like the DS (which is one of my favorite DS features)

I just KNEW they'd wait till the exact moment I bought one to reveal a new one. It literally arrived yesterday. =(

Mind you, did I mention that I got mine for under £70? As for the touch and that new PSP-like d-pad...meh. I wish they made the GP2X in white though, shows up much less smudges. I liked the idea of that analogue that could be replaced, I was hoping they might release some different add on's that could plug on there, like maybe a Neo Geo Pocket style analogue...

I'd only be crying a river if they told me it could emulate the Saturn and Dreamcast. The way I look at it I've gotten myself a hand held that I can play thousands of games on with no hassle for much less than I could get a DS or PSP for, so I'm not complaining. I'll defiantly be there for when they release a full upgrade though, with as I said...Dreamcast emulation =D

You got it for under £70? I'm in the UK, so that is rather interesting. Care to share the details?

Ebay, mate. I was lucky enough to find one that ended at a time people generally don't look there (Read: The morning). So no one even tried to outbid me. This is after losing out on about 5 other GP2X's that went for around £100, by the way. It also came with a carry case and a 1GB card, which is nice.

I've been considering getting one of these for awhile. Guess I'll just wait till this new model comes out

Know exactly what you mean...

Let me make a mental note to not put stuff ending in the morning again (I have done it once. On a weekend, even!

)

Mouse support in SCUMMVM would be cool
