AmigaOS 4 systems' price
« on: February 02, 2009, 09:20:20 PM »
Hello,

I just treated this PegII with AOS piece of news an an inspiration for this post.

I wonder what is the exact pricing for OS4 fully featured environment?
I mean systems both discontinued (like AmigaOne, PII, eventually classics) and manufactured.

Say, I am about to get myself OS4 soon, still, thinking of choices any other than Sam.  And have not the faintest idea on its alternatives... Auctions do exist but.... what's the market price?

Would you please help??
This very post might be a useful reference for future.

As an example - I can see P2 auction on my local ebay for 660 $ right now. Don't know if this is a bargain or not.
Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

@persia
Who says AOS4 systems aren't vintage systems once they appear??

@redfox
But I meant pricing actually by posting this.

Sam's price is public but what about P2 and/or A1?  Since one (I) cannot deduce it from ebay, you can only see it's being sold without ANY information about call it, market price (which is actually constant to some extent).

What about A1200/3000/4000 with this Blizzard/Cyberstorm add-ons?  What about classic pricing? (or at least comparison to others)

What I wish to see is table with possibilities altogether with prices.  So that one can decide.  Or at least, seeing some auction one would be able to react.

@Triton199
Yes, I already decided to waste my money.  I simply want OS4, I'm bored with this Win/Lin/OSX trio.  I want fresh meat!!!

@Varthall
Yeah, I'm considering programming for OS4.

& @countzero
Thanks, but I have my local distributor actually - eFunzine.

A G4 Mac mini port would change the game, there are enough used MacMinis out there that everyone who wants AMigaOS 4 could have one in every room of their house and not exhaust the supply...

But it would put SAM out of business...


Correct!  I asked for available stuff, not PPCMacs nor Amy yet.

I think since nothing stopped Hyperion from releasing AmigaOS for Pegasus, only tech issues (which I am aware of) would slow this down.

They are OS manufacturer, if $$ are guaranteed, they would port it to any hardware platform, unless the court eventually tells them not to. So the issue is the ratio between time to port / user base, which is in favor of Macs.  We'll see.
