C64 DTV possible new version with game download capability?

[InTheSand]

Hi,

Just spotted this on the "Commodore International" web site:

Commodore Gaming, a strategic partnership between Commodore International Corporation and The Content Factory, provides a wide range of game products and services. Products due for release soon include a new generation of the Commodore 64 joystick, which adds game download functionality to the features that made its predecessor famous (direct connectability to TV and PC).

Source is here.

Does anyone have any further info on this? Could be interesting and would save having to manually hack apart a DTV unit to get other stuff on to it...

I'd like one too!

Though for an Amiga version, it'd be nice to have keyboard and mouse sockets!

@krize: I didn't know the PAL ones were partly flashable... Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, even though I'm in a PAL country, I couldn't wait, so bought the NTSC version!

@Fransexy: A C-One would be nice, but there's a bit of a cost difference between that and a C64DTV!!
