I forgot to mention, when discussing Play Asia's big New Years Sale that they have the GP2X on discount for $170. Also, there isn't a second edition of the console yet - just firmware upgrades. The unit remains the same!

Some thoughts about the discounts. Unfortunately Londonian Gothics isn't on sale - that game needs to be $20 before I'll buy it. As a side note, I've noticed (via my affiliate data) that a number of people purchased some interesting stuff due to the sale, and I think it speaks to our general good taste: obviously a lot of people got Rez on the cheap, but a lot of folks also picked up the Game Machines encyclopedia, and DJ Max. Those are a bit obvious, but I think it's rather cool that some people picked up the totally bizarre, nearly homoerotic Garouden Break Blow, which we mentioned in september (official site here, movie here). Good eyes. It seems not many people noticed that some of the Simple series is on sale for half, with The Shooting (Double Sheinryuu)+Helicopter pack going for $10, which is actually three games (one of which I reviewed once) on two discs. With Love Smash Tennis 5.1 for $5 and the very new all-star fighting festival for $10, you should get to clicking before someone else does. I actually missed Love Tennis on my first check through, so BACK OFF.
