This is just lame. Avoid.

@BigBenAussie

You're being used. I'd seriously reconsider dealing with this Altman guy.

In our e-mails Commodore USA's owner has told me that there will be a significant amount spent on marketing. Much more than the last Commodore companies seemed to have spent.

There nothing better than free marketing.

Speaking of which, have any of you seen any actual marketing efforts from Commodore USA, other than getting people post to blogs and forums about it?

[Piru]

I post here voluntarily as a Commodore fan.

Okay. I almost got the impression that you were actively marketing the product for Commodore USA. Didn't I also see pretty much identical posts to amigaworld.net, as well?

Oh well, I guess it's just enthusiasm.

Ya see, he's got nothing to hide.

In the name of this openness, lets also link to:
Commodore Gaming disavows Commodore USA (and its decals)

My favorite part:

Your purchase, according to the site, "will not be branded with the Commodore logo or markings. These self-adhesive logo label plates will be shipped to you at no charge when they are available."

The contract is all there

Is it? So if I check again after 2 weeks and they still don't have a contract what then? 2 months?

This is the guy who put a logo on their website without any permission to do so. Just to see if anyone would care. This is NOT how you do things.

I'll believe it when the party granting the license says it is ok, not before.

@Piru
They come with totally legal logos right now with the rightsholders permission.

BTW is there confirmation that they actually have this permission? I hope it isn't one sided announcement from Commodore USA...

No lawsuit doesn't count as one.
