Amiga HW price in a perspective

[dougal]

Lets put our cards on the table here and just say it as it is..... The Sam motherboard IS extremely overpriced and extremely under powered .

Fine , everyone is free to spend their money on what they like , but there is absolutely no way to justify the price of the Sam motherboard and I for one would never buy it .

Lets be honest here , its not like its C= Amiga hardware or anything , its just a stupidly overpriced and outdated motherboard which the developers of Amiga OS 4 decided to work with . The motherboard has no value whatsoever .

I think we can all agree that if for the cost we were offered a fast , modern and complete system* instead of just an outdated motherboard , then many more people would be buying new Amiga hardware .

* When i say complete system , i mean something that is well presented , just like an A3000 or A4000 was . Its own case (Amiga branded , Not a standard Mini ATX) , an Amiga branded keyboard , printed manuals , etc..
