You are very found of the A600.... :-D

If he buys an A600 he still has the problem of kickstart incompatibilities. And would need a degrader, I do not know how easy those are to get your hands on.
And the A600 has ECS... For those rare games requiring OCS.

In the A500 he will not have those problems, not to that degree at least. And sidecars tends to pop up on ebay every now and then. However, tha choise is still his...
But a favour for sidecar is it can be put in any A500, not just the one he has now...

while you mention the A500, wich is ocs only, and cannot run ecs games,so the A600 is more classic-gaming-ready

I have never encountered a game that do not work on A500, except for AGA games though... And that was before i got the 500+, my old A500 was a A500 kick 1.2 0,5/0,5 MBram.
And it played ALL the games i ever tried on it (-AGA)...

I shoot muself in the foot... I have become very unsertain about what was rare... ECS games i guess is the rare ones...

I have kick 2.04 in my 500+, and i have not found the OCS possability...

I am confused. Until a year ago it was 10 years since last i used any amiga.... And i started back up again with the A1200, exactly where i left it...

but when you say you could play all the games when using your plain a500, i guess that is because you didn't try any ecs games,am i correct? thought some (or a lot?) of ecs games where backwardscompatible with ocs..

Might be. honestly i do not remeber anymore...

EDIT:

as for the topic.
I personally never liked the A600, am bidding on one on ebay. perhaps i change my mind, once i've tried one.

However, back to topic.
A sidecar is not a bad idea, it can be used an any A500 and possibly even in A1000. And he don't need to buy a new machine. It is possibly the cheapest alternative.
