Would you pay €226 for a minimig?
« on: January 15, 2008, 09:53:48 PM »
I was really looking forward to get a minimig, but now that I got the total its going to cost me (from Acube), I am really in shock. There is a big jump from the advertised €138 to €226 (this is after VAT and uber expensive shipping charges).

I think I will now keep a hold on my money and wait for Clone-A instead.  :-(

Anyone else thinks the price is a bit over the top?

From Acube themselves. And that price does not even include a PSU.

And I already own a nice A1200 gaming setup.

Well to be completely honest - if the minimig was 100% perfect, I'd put away my real amiga and use the minimig instead - use a normal PC monitor, and free up loads of deskspace... but as it is, no thanks. Hence, I look forward for clone-a.

I would have giving minimig a chance at a decent price, but not at €220+ !

For €226 I could probably get a brand new A1200 from AmigaKit.

Well I'd love to buy one, but between the advertised €138 and what I will have to pay there is a big, big difference. I will probably end up buying it anyway, as  support, for the novelty and because the A1200 in my signature takes a lot of deskspace. But first I need to know if it will work ok with any TFT PC monitor...

I keep reading that Clone-A (whenever and if its out) will be considerably cheaper.

Any idea why?
