C64x Unboxing videos

[Darrin]

Oh, and one last question before I head off to work:

Spammy, where are the reviews and pictures of your personal working 64x?  Surely you have ordered one?  Surely someone who has done so much for C-USA (Spammy threads, posting false pictures, making false statements) would have been one of the priority shipments?

I'd like to read a review from a trustworthy source, so I'm waiting with baited breath for a long, details report from an honest and reliable gentleman, respected and in good standing within the community such as yourself.  Any chance?

[Darrin]

I don't think so:

Hmm... let me see...

C64 BAREBONES: ALL BEEN SHIPPED.

Empty cases?  That was eay.  How many?

C64 ULTIMATES ALL HAVE BEEN SHIPPED.,There are still a few Ultimates in the pipeline, some of which were delayed due to incorrect addresses, issues with payment. customer changes, etc, BUT 99% HAVE BEEN SHIPPED.

Blaming the customers again!  How many?

C64 BASIC: APPROX 30% SHIPPED, ALL WILL BE SHIPPED BY END OF NEXT WEEK (7/222/11)

30% of how many?

C64 STANDARD & DELUXE ARE IN PRODUCTION NOW, AND SHOULD ALL SHIP BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

Weren't they already produced, boxed and shipped from that factory in China a month ago?  How many?

VIC SLIM STATUS: All VIC SLIIM units have been shipped.

LOL.  Easy when they come pre-assembled from someone else.  How many?

VIC PRO: Most VIC Pro units have been shipped for orders received through July 3rd. There are a handful of orders still outstanding, and ALL VIC PRO ORDERS RECEIVED UP TO TODAY WILL BE SHIPPED BY THEND OF THIS MONTH.

See above.  How many?

[Darrin]

I don't think you understand the volume they are shipping out.  They had excess of 40,000 pre-order sales that will all be shipped by end of the month.   Once COS 1.x is out the door, I suspect we will be hearing more about their new Commodore Amiga series.  I certainly hope by November we hear what COS 2.x series is going to be and it's roadmap.

Dammy

If you mean "Linux" then say "Linux".

"New" Amiga series?  Those cases have been available for years from other resellers.  Hardly "new".

Any chance of a good motherboard this time?

[Darrin]

actually it probably has been successful.  bazza's gonna make money out of this, and that's all he cares about.  everything he's said over the past year shows his idea of success is monetary, nothing more or less.

and the C64x has been a nice creation.  they could have skimped on the details, like the keyboard, but they didn't.  and that's not too bad.

i think where their mouths got them in trouble was suggesting they were more than a fly-by-night operation of three guys trying to shift cheap, chinese tat.  slapping a sticker on a case, shoving components into it that you had no design input into, and marking it up, does not an amiga make.  no matter what flavor of amiga you follow, that ain't it.

let bazza make his money.  we'll go on with our hobby.  spammy's posts are about as relevant as someone who is a packard bell aficionado posting about his resurrected brand around here.  i don't think he gets it: no one gives a flying [redacted]. since he's only doing it to wind people up, he should just stick to the sewer at moobunny.

Agreed.

If they had been honest and upfront from the start and not tried to erase all of the ongoing efforts from others over the past few years then I think all of us would have been cheering them on.  There's nothing wrong with a new Commodore selling new PCs because it is what the old Commodore did and most of us use a PC.

It has been the lousy PR, the lies and the smoke screens that have put people off which is firmly due to Bazza and also to Spammy.

This was one hell of a missed chance.  It is a real shame.

[Darrin]

If they can't take the heat, they should never have stomped into the kitchen proclaiming themselves the master chef.

They also opened the oven door and took a huge crap inside and then urinated all over the salad bowl.  

[Darrin]

I was talking about the likes of Darrin and Critamine, etc.  You take offence to this? The one time i defend you you are offended? I give up...

Me trolling?  I think you need to look up the word.

If I wanted to "troll" then I'd be posting on C=USA's website attempt to stir up trouble.  All I do is ask genuine questions, address genuine concerns, take the piss out of half arsed statements and query the lack of professionalism and direction.

Hardly "trolling".

[Darrin]

if someone peed in my salad bowl I guess I'd have genuine concerns

Exactly.  

Obviously jokes are "trolling" too, especially when they involve crack whores.  

[Darrin]

I consider everyone a friend, until they urinate on my salad.

or crapped in your oven.

[Darrin]

The "shear number of threads" is only 8 over 20 weeks.
The threads would have been ignored if the trolling hadn't happened.
 
If anything commodorejohn & darrin are actually promoting CUSA by keeping them on the front page. Sure some people might agree with them, but there are alot of other people reading their posts and will wonder what there problem is.
 
There will also be people who will see commodorejohns threats of trolling until the CUSA threads stop & decide that they will be stand up to him and post more CUSA threads.
 
CUSA couldn't afford to pay for the promotion that they are getting. If I didn't keep reminding myself that I can't justify buying a c64x then I'd be more likely to buy one now.

Ah yes, I'm the one promoting C=USA, not Spammy.  Gotcha.

[Darrin]

Of course! That's why you and I post press releases every time CUSA covers a single one of the many discrete steps in getting a product to market! Isn't it obvious?

Exactly.  I like the way that he thinks that we keep the threads on the main page when what actually happens is that when one thread drops off then Spammy (as per his contract as C=USA site admin) then makes a single BS post (sometimes including a dodgy pic) to put it back again.

Still, easier to blame us "trolls" I guess.  

Another way of looking at it is that C=USA staff, wannabees and fanboys want to be able to post half-truths and lies and not have anyone correct them.

[Darrin]

So Darrin, how many post have you and John made in this thread of 19 pages and how many have I posted?

Let's add up how many posts have been made over ALL the threads shall we, and how many threads on C=USA each of us have started?

Then let's add up how many lies you've posted against how many lies I've posted.

Want to tell everyone how many posts I've made on C=USA's webshite?

[Darrin]

~checks contract~   Nope no such clause exists.  Dammy is an admin on my site because I trust him.

Suuuuuuuuuure.
