Back in February, we referenced the release of a rather mysterious "second edition" of the eminently hackable GP2X handheld while professing a lack of knowledge of just what had been improved. Play Asia are now stocking the GP2X MKII and, so as not to confuse it with the second edition, Wikipedia reveals the MKII is in fact the "seventh edition" of the console. Really, we're totally confused. Where's versions three through six?

Regardless, the MKII upgrades include:
  • Preattached screen cover
  • Larger (more grippy) joystick cap
  • Firmware v2.0 (features)
  • Comes with 2 game demos (Vektar & Payback)
Already have a GP2X? You can get some of that MKII flava by adding the game demos and upgrading to the new firmware; otherwise, $170 nets you the updated version.

We're not quite sure what exactly has changed in this "second edition" GP2X, but Lik-Sang decided to hold off on distributing the open-source handheld until it was available, citing firmware troubles and "broken or malfunctioning units." We guess Lik-Sang is confident these problems have been remedied, since they've begun selling the GP2X Second Edition as of today.

They are also selling a TV-out cable, turning that diminutive handheld into a big screen emulation station! Any GP2X users experiencing any troubles with your "first edition" units? Anyone else put off their purchase until now?
