dammy: lol @ defending C=USA nobjokeys selling rubbish chinky PC + Linux + UAE and somehow deciding it's an Amiga. My Dell XPS with XP+WinUAE is Amiga too and so is a Sony  PSP + Amiga emulator then :roflmao: what next, my washing machine with 14mhz 68EC020 Amiga? :confused:

Amiga Inc are crooks anyway, perfect partnership, and Amiga Inc don'town Commodore name :)

And even 99% of the 12 million Amiga purchasers won't buy AmigaONE x1000 or SAM to run OS4 with stupidly expensive PPC boards. If you hate Mac you won't be using MOSand AROS is free so ho knows how many downloads arein use.

As for custom chips being the thing holding back Amiga....Commodore were well on the way to RTG and you need a fast Pentium PC in 1996 to play Super Stardust like a £299 A1200. And A4000/040 users bought 24bit cards.

CPU PERFORMANCE/PRICE killed Amiga well before PC could do a carbon copy of 1989 Shadow of the Beast without dropping a single frame.....6-7 yrs with same 7mhz chip was a joke but 25mhz 486SX owners were playing Actua Soccer in texture mapped 3D or Doom for half the cost of pathetic A4000/030 white elephant of an overpriced kludge in 1994 ;)

They're selling PC+Linux but claiming they are next gen Amiga and letting idiots believe they related to C= of old.

Decide for yourself I say to everyone :)

Great C64 videos you put on the web - didn´t know that there was so great marketing at Commodore - curious why this didn´t happen also for Amiga?
Was this marketing for GB specially or also for the US-market?


Jack left C=, business decisions became ineffective. It's that simple.

Bought in Amiga technology staved off their demise half a decade, but with idiots like Medhi cocking things up what did you expect.

Example: Jack asked for what turned out to be the C16 but it was meant to retail @ $70 to wipe out low end competion ie VIC20 replacement. New management ended up with +4 @ $299 with just extra 48kb RAM and same crippled chipset :roflmao:
