Re: Pegasos II vs AmigaOne
« on: February 01, 2004, 06:40:12 AM »
I prefer AmigaOne as that runs AmigaOs , and thats the sole reason why i sticked to amiga when everybody else left (99-2003).

no doubt that the pegasos 2 is a nice machine , but it doesnt got os4 and thats what makes me prefer the a1 over it.

i must add that ihave owned both peg 1 and a1 XeG4 and that both i sold after a shorter time (sold the a1 due to money probs and the peg1 due to hw probs) but i will not say that peg2 is better or worse than its first one as i need to see it and test it , but i am really looking forward to the AmigaOne Micro , if the price is right then i am sure alot will follow that one i guess.


anyway aOs4 aint out yet but it will be shortly , morphs1.4 is out but thats still beta and missing a few crucial things but by no means useless if you have some amiga experience or an second machine (ie an classic amiga).

i put my 2 pence on (for now) both peg2 and a1, both have its up's and downs but the biggest one is that AmigaOne has the name + Os4.

cheers

masc: you are spreading FUD atm.

1. where have u heard the OS4 price?

2. Who said Earlybird users have to pay extra for Os4 ? (ITS BUNDLED WITH THE HARDWARE!)

3. peg 2 is only 100 usd cheaper than the a1xe G4 here in norway! ,  oh yeah u forgot to mention that u used the EXCHANGE prices (where u deliver in your old motherboar (peg1) and gets a peg2.

4. shame about you closing your eyes, but then again its your choice, and thats the beauty of having aros/amigaos/morphos choices and hardware choices.

no harm intended but u where insinuating too much and u forgot some facts. :)

warface: i would really like to see where you quoted that from (about hyperion releasing a1 os4 native versions as a new product!)

if so its really weird because i have not heard any mentions about it and i also never heard about os4 costing 100-160 usd and so on.

lame troll attempts , but then again native versions will run better than a wrapper but there is allready native versions for several which i am not in liberty to discuss here.

anyway since u mentioned that hyperion have a tight schedule etc, ofcourse they do! but they havent said like "HEYY, we are now only porting os4! , we stopped all out game dev!" oh and btw they got several new people in hyperion now, maybe u forgot to mention it? , and yes they do GAMES only!.... oh no.. seems like your warface is becoming pale..

hooligan: yeah i iwish it would be more a1 owners here aswell, but we all know why (we choose Aw) and why peg is the second most named product on Amiga.org , where AROS is the most named product atm.

warface: first of all i would like to see where hyperion said that their os4 native versions whould be an NEW PRODUCT (hence we who own their ppc versions  of their games).

i have seen NO such comment anywhere, and yes they will all be "native" soon enough.

there has been chats about maybe adding them to the os4 final cd but nothing is confirmed, as it was just a suggestion and that goes for filling the cd up with demos (OS4 NATIVE) of their games.

i got upset because u insinuated that the Native versions would cost money or most of all will be a new product!.
and because u said hyperion have no time to port games because of their os4 development , and btw there was a news item not long ago about JUST that.


ps:bear in mind that i will get upset aswell if i have to buy Shogo , heretic2 , freespace and quake2 all over again (at full price) just to get the os4 native version , but i dont see it happening as i where pointing out earlier, there is simply no POSTS/NEWS about this from hyperion itself.


sorry if i offended you but i feel i answered the proper way , but then again big threads like this where people use every thing against each others (mos vs aos4) well its easy to get upset too fast.
