you do know these have been available at ... uh, everywhere in the world for a few years now?  That clever Amiga users have been using flash cards as SSDs for ages?  Etc. etc.?

And a JOYSTICK well slap my ass and call me sally.

I am hereby announcing today that I am releasing a brand new Amiga product no Amigan can live without!  In fact, it's so awesome you may want to buy many of them!  These are brand new just for classic amiga users and as a result are available for the low low price of $1500 each!

At least they delivered, unlike some.


hahahaha!

I have no dog in this fight but that is fucking hilarious!  Delivered?  Delivered?  What the HELL did they deliver?  They bought a half pallet of joysticks and SSDs from a wholesaler and that constitutes "delivering"?  By that logic UPS is a hub of computer super-geniuses!

I wish it was more of a substantial product.  Although for the video toaster market the SSD packaged solution is very nice.

The Joystick is nice, having a local North American source.

I don't want to blame DiscreetFX here, they had their own excitement.  Maybe we are at fault, since many of the users hyped this up themselves (myself included) about really cool classic hardware like new ppc accelerators...

So we did it to ourselves! :)


Oh I didn't think it'd be anything of the kind - besides, a run of new PPC cards...the cards alone would cost more than that xk1k1000x thing.  

No, I thought they'd be going in the direction of maybe a new ZIII card of some kind, or ... shit, I dunno.  Commissioned a mini-mig aga run or something.

Grabbing two bulk PC items off the shelf and foisting them off with the hype they did though is just stupid.

For toaster/flyer users, I think such replacement drives may be a good idea.  I might purchase in the future, once I get a chance to start using my overheating t/f system again.  Sure, it was overhyped, but I'm grateful that there's still support for classic Amiga video production!!


dear lord YOU CAN BUY AN SSD FROM NEWEGG NOW!

*facepalm*

oy, amigans...

Yes, but you can't buy a SCSI one.


Do what now?
