Title: C64 Direct-To-TV PAL Available
Post by: amigakit on November 28, 2005, 06:42:05 PM
We have received today the latest C64 Direct-To-TV PAL, complete with a new games line-up built-in.  A Commodore 64 computer in a joystick.

We also have the Commodore Book: On the Edge (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=368) in stock, so why not get both for a bit of Commodore nostalgia this Christmas?

St. Lawrence County NY?  What about Oneida County eh?  Nudge nudge.

So I remember when it was said that the C64 in a joystick was going to be the hot Xmas item for 2004.  Then it was going to be in KMart and on QVC for 2005.  So far I've seen none of it.

Anybody seen it in US stores?  Or on US TV?  Looks like once again the CBM curse is upon us.  They'll get it out next year when the retro craze is dead?  I hope not but it seems to late now.

Pretty crappy game line up...

 So is this one hackable too?

 I know people were hacking the old systems into full fledged C64's, but of course I would NEVER in my life want to load off those old floppy drives...

 So has anyone figured out a way to just hook up SD of CF card to it?

@boing

Every Toys R Us store should have them.  Also, KBToys had them for a short while (not sure if still since the local KB closed).

On Black Friday they were 2 for $25! (Normal price is $20 each)  I already had my pair so I passed.
