CommodoreUSA Partners with Disney

[mongo]

I guess this should be enough of a proof for those still thinking it's April 1st?

It's proof that Disney will partner with anyone.

MDG is the worst computer company in Canada.

The C64x is being launched April 5th, same day as the DVD.

They hadn't started production 5 days ago, but it's going to be for sale in 3 days?

That is because you don't want to really know the difference.  First lets look at co-branding:

Second, Disney does not sell advertising space.

Third, it's a huge accomplishment to be partnering with Disney, they do a complete background check on the company before they sign any agreement.  You can belittle it all you want, it is what it is and there is nothing you can say to change it. Nor will it change any of the future relationship(s) Disney may have with C=USA.

MDG has a long history of fraud and ripping off people. CUSA has no history. Disney can't be doing much of a background check. What kind of a background check do you think they can do on a company that isn't shipping any products?

Do you remember how well the "New Beetle" sold when it was launched? The New Beetle had nothing to do with the original VW Bug except a vague likeness. The New Beetle was essentially a VW Golf with a 20-30% markup over the Golf.

The difference is that the New Beetle was actually a pretty good car while the C64x isn't a good computer.

the truth is that the New Beetle was nothing special(Golf mk4 platform, pretty shabby plastics, the only thing they had was the design and I myself prefer the Porsche's version of the iconic shape and that c64x hasn't been tested or reviewed yet so it's clear you have nothing to base your opinion on, do you?

It's an Atom D525 + ION 2 running Linux with a cut down keyboard.

Putting it in a beige plastic case isn't going to make it any better than any other Atom D525 + ION 2 running Linux.
