The prices of the AmigaONE are too high all round. They're *ridiculously* high, and don't buy the excuses that Mac prices are so high. It's a different ballpark. They are in serious need of some lowering if the Amiga community is ever going to grow again instead of shrink.
That's true!!! The hardware is getting old (it's been a year or so that the first mobos shiped to their respective owners?) And what has to offer?
The CPU slot can take advantage of a newer/faster CPU (if there's gonna be a CPU expansion)? The RAM would it be a bottleneck? What about the latest GFX cards?
The situation would be the same: Have a mediocre system (if not outdated) and be happy with it (because you cannot do anything else: pretty much the same with the classic Amiga line).
The point is that
-the prices won't drop for the old hardware,
-there is no new h/w to justify the high prices...
(just watch the PC market and compare: that's how to do business, sell & buy stuff)
