Present perfect

What's the difference here:

I already had lunch


And

I've already had lunch


Should the first sentence also be present perfect?

There is no difference in meaning. Strictly speaking the second one is more proper in my opinion, but people use the first one too. Maybe I too use the first one sometimes.
