Big deal they bought advertising space. Its like the marketing manager at my work. He has convince the boss to spend big and to sponsor several football teams (league) but you know what its just a waste of money no one will look or care. If i ever bought Tron DVD I would throw out any ad in them in the trash (without even looking) be honest how many times if you bought something and they have crossed marketed something else do you just throw it out without even looking at it.
I am with darrin if they had all this money would have been better to make something we can use and not just another PC.


P.S. I am more of an Anime Guy then Disney

Well, I can use this... from emulation, to everyday work and BluRay movies. :)

There are other companies and people selling stuff for C= and Amiga hobbysts. I don't think they(C=USA) could have done anything significant on the "classic" market. It's pretty saturated as it is.


I have my normal PC for emulation (i like your cases (the C64 one) though).
how many people would buy new Video cards/Accelerators/Sound Cards etc etc and not to mention new FPGA Hardware, yes there is FPGA Arcade and Natami which i will buy but i would buy other FPGA hardware as well. It is not that saturated.
But i wish you luck anyway (i would prob buy the second C64 case the one styled from the C64C just the case mind you. :D)

"advertising", "partnering" & "sponsorships" all that really means IS YOU pay them an amount of money TO use there logo's/products or whatever.
I know because both my work "partners" and "sponsors" football clubs and such.
I could post you a nice email form my work address with all the lovely logos of our partners (which we "paid" for).
Like you said Disney is a media company (ok its a boring media company but it still is) would they let anyone use there "brand name" just for fun without a "small" fee after all its American and a Big business since when did they give anything away for free?
