What they should have done is resurrect the C64 DTV for $15-20 in massive quantities AND wired one of those FPGA boards to the C64x case & keyboard for $99.
If people want a cheap shit PC they can buy one for $250 too, total = $350. half price of C64x
Greed is ugly.
Or even if this thing was simply just a $199 bluetooth keyboard, with a steel plate in it to give some weight, I might buy one to use my current PC. But I don't need another low end shit Atom. And I certainly don't want a bunch of F-ing wires running all over the place.
It's 2011. I'm past the wires hanging out all over the ass end of my keyboard (other than for true classics).
Yeah, make this a just a high quality bluetooth keyboard and you have a sale. I could use it for fun on my cell phone, laptop, etc. That would be novel. Or simply make it like those joystick things that plug into your tv. Or better yet both. But another PC? Nah, no thanks. I'll stick with a cheap ass real C64 and do one of the 100 hacks out there and do the same things for 1/3 the cost.
