Commodore USA - more delays? You're kidding?

[mongo]

They can't even deliver products that they aren't manufacturing on time.

On launch, the Vic models said they would be delivered in three weeks.

All the hype generated by the Tron DVD will be long forgotten by the time they actually have products ready to ship.

That was worth a read, especially this :
 
"Motorola believes the C64x mold is progressing well and getting completed in a week or two."
 
"I think it will be a moving experience to see the C64 coming down the conveyor belt like in the old days. "
 
1) Now they are saying motorola is making the cases?
 
2) Do they even HAVE an assembly line?
 
Leo is funny. I wonder if the stickers fell off his commodore pc yet.

Although other projects discussed on Amiga.org and AW haven't exactly "broadcasted" it, the problems overseas have caused parts delays. I have no knowledge of whether this affects the C64x in any way, just saying...
There are many good news articles on this topic. You can hardly find an article without also encountering the word "resin" either.

According to Leo :

All the other parts are ready and waiting to go, and then the assembly, testing and packaging fun begins.

The Vic series was being shipped to end user via China, I have a feeling the initial batch was sold out and that is the reason why there are now delays until June for those AIO systems.

So basically you have no idea, but you're willing to make up any excuse you can think of.

For the C64x, the early pre-orders should be getting them in early May.  First mold is very close to being finished, probably next week.  Once that is done (acid wash and final inspections are completed), it goes to the company to begin injection molding the case which are given to the assemblers, which are all in southern Florida.

The first mold has been very close to being finished for about a month now.
