Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything to anyone?

They have product in their store available to order.

I suspect noone has bought anything at all or received anything at all.

Which means......... I suspect

That this is just Scamiga Inc up to it's old tricks, trying to sell itself for an inflated amount.

Remember the last time Amiga Inc 'woke up'?
It updated it's website. It entered into a partnership with ACK.
It fooled a whole town with a multimillion $ sponsorship scam,
All the while it was trying to sell itself.

Now, the great CommodoreUSA comes along with it's $30million marketing budget, a deal with Amiga Inc. Then Amiga Inc invests $70 on a hosting package and ressurects the old website to pretend that it is a real company.
Then, suprise, suprise we hear that Amiga Inc is up for sale.

So, out of curiosity - has ANYONE received ANYTHING from CommodoreUSA or are they just another of BillyBoys elaborate scams?

Why do we care what/when they're shipping? They blew their chance at the only Amiga-like OS that'll run on their machine (AROS)

Well, they may have p1ssed off some AROS people but nothing could stop them using AROS in whatever capacity they choose. Also AROS would benefit from people like some of their offerings and would like to have a Commodore Amiga for nostalgia sake.

However, you missed the central point to my question - is it all just another elaborate Scamiga Scam. Are CommodoreUSA just being used by Scamiga or are they a part of this conspiracy to defraud potential purchasers of whatever assets Amiga Inc have left. (I can't think of many!).

So......

Their 'shop' has been up for several months.

and no-one knows anyone who bought anything from CommodoreUSA.

I think that answers my question.

This is my vision of a future Amiga.
It's okay if you want to jump on the escapism train and bath in childhood memories,
or just want to fiddle around with outdated hardware and relax,
I just have a vision very different from yours and I am not even sure whether C=USA can pull it off.

Well, everyone is entitled to a vision and there are certainly many and varied visions out there! :-)

As far as C=USA is concerned - people are very jaded. I mentioned ACK and Kent but there are literally dozens of these scenarios of 'ghost' companies and shell games involved with Scamiga Inc and others.
 
I am willing to give C=USA the benefit of doubt - they are an innocent party being used by Scamiga Inc to artificially inflate the worth of their IP and trading name.

This is what worries me. Scamiga are not stupid and they would not knowingly partner with a viable entity to play these games. Soooo...

either Scamiga have underestimated C=USA and we will see product or it will play out exactly the same as all the other 'games'.

I hope C=USA has some money and can ship stuff - especially the C64 and the Amiga fantasy and other rendered stuff.
I sincerely hope that if they have some money that they start their own distro of Linux or (even better with it's Amiga ethos) Haiku. The only people interested in AROS would only come from this community I guess.

It would still be nice to hear if C=USA has, indeed, shipped anything. :-)
