CommodoreUSA site updated

Have I seen about 7 or 8 different models (or prospective models) from CUSA so far?  This hyper-hype-preannouncement-scatter-wow is just too much.

Dear Friends:

I am impressed by the new commodore and amiga.

Rednova

What aspect is impressive to you?

[orb85750]

OK, I'm impressed with their success in securing the use of the "Commodore Amiga" name, but I'm not happy with their stealing of artwork -- and confused by the countless new models that they keep announcing (with computer-rendered artwork) before actually releasing anything of use.

[orb85750]

OK, since this keeps coming up, how about anyone who has never used anyone else's art without permission please step forward.  I keep hearing people complain about that, and yet I have never met anyone over the age of about 3 that hasn't used someone else's "IP" without permission.

BUT, they're doing so for commercial purposes.  That's a big difference.

WTF...Don't tell me this place is turning into legaleagle.org again? Don't you arm chair lawyers tire of this IP and copyright law BS. FFS, we're talking about a product line that's been dead for nearly 20 years.


Now...back to the pair-o-wanking gloves you get when you buy one of these prestigious devices :lol:

I hope you spend hours working on some cool Amiga artwork/mock-up, only to find it tomorrow on the C=USA website without your permission.  Get it?

And does anyone take this statement of theirs seriously?

"September 14, 2010 – Commodore USA announced today the selection of Korey Kay & Partners as its Agency of Record for Branding and Creative Development. Projected budget: $30 million."

They have been saying and presenting questionable things for some time now, IN MY OPINION.

[orb85750]

Yes, I think we're all getting rather tired of this preannouncement nonsense.  But the worst of the worst is stuff like the "new Commodore Amiga 2000" -- clearly just a concept at this time, otherwise they might actually show something like a real picture.  Do you think Jens would ever do something like that?  (A company can choose to destroy their own credibility, like Amiga Inc., for example.)

With a projected budget like that, they must be projecting sales of at least a few hundred thousand Amiga machines.  Credibility problem?
