yeah, most troubles are firmware problems. they'll disapear when you'll download the lastest one. I wont get one before christmas too, sadly.
Lik-sang could do the same with PSP a year ago ... well, they can´t sell the GP2x like the PSP a year ago (400 - 500 $ ...). The real fact is Game Park has a lot of problems with produccion, very little and too slow and they can´t send all units to distributors (distribution in Spain was delayed three times for that problem). The problems ... some never existed, others are already fixed with the firmware update.
