That's discriminating. Wasn't most of the good parts of the Amiga born in the USA? Don't they care about us.

But the amiga was still a big failure in USA while it was a huge success in Europe.

The reason for this offer not including usa, is probably because the company is located in Europe and the fact that it would be more expensive and troublesome to ship to USA. Is funny you people complain, as it seems like 99% of US based companies does the same.. "This offer is only avaliable to US citizen" and i even get ads of their offer in my damn mailbox.

i think it is atari was more popular in europe as a whole and amiga was more popular in the us

The opposite is more true... The Amiga was a failure in US when it came to home market, but it did take of later in the video production/tv station scene in the US. The amiga was the biggest success in Europe and here in Norway i never saw a atari being sold in stores, but the amiga500 was sold everywhere and most people i knew had one themself.

Most americans i have talked to seem to know the Atari better than the Amiga, while the exact opposite is true here.
