Another One Fo Them Gp2x "killers"


This time from the once mighty commodore now owned by yeahronimo ventures, more details here.
​

From article
"With the price not yet set, but at a likely $700"

I would never, not in a million years, spend that much money on anything i might accidently drop in the toilet. And besides, the only thing that might kill the GP2X is the GP3X, but thats not gonna be for a while.

"With the price not yet set, but at a likely $700, the device may be attractive enough from a functionality perspective to make it worthwhile."

Not worthwhile for me! Heck, you can get a bargain laptop for that price! :blink:
 
If a GP3X or somthing ever came out a HD would be nice. Even just a small one would be possible?
 
It starts out looking okay from the bottom (ergonomics is different, how would you hold that?), but then they used a spud splitter/cheese grater motif for the speakers.

(spud splitter, see device used to make chips out of potatoes)
 
I think the "cheesegrater motif" is supposed to be reminiscent of the air vents on the C64 (later model not breadbox), another person i showed the link to has suggested the unit looks like a c64 datacorder.
 
the buttons on that thing are tiny, and theyre so far down the bottom of the unit, i dont see how you could possibly hold that properly.
 
Yeah, buttons looks hard to use and it's kinda ugly. I don't think it's meant for games, even if it says it is. And it runs windows so that will add 100-150 to the price alone. Commodore used to be a software company also, wonder what happened.

Thanx,
Stan
 
I agree and in my honest opinion, it looks shite and cheap.
Look at all that wasted space!....cheap looking speakers, shitey looking interface and like second_excdous said, the controls look a bit hard to use for games.

Commodore = Don't bother trying to release it, unless it's under 80 pounds each, lolz. :D

$700 (usd?) is so cheap these days...
