Maybe the fact that he's claiming the A1200 in stock form is much better than an Xbox or any other modern game console... and thats just the start of it. Gimme a break. Also stating that many arcade games used Amiga motherboards is just a lie.
Not true at all.
Fair enough about the Arcade machine bit - I just re-read that and realised how funny that sounds. Yeah, you can rip the software from an arcade machine and run it directly on a vanilla A1200 with no emulation layer :lol:
But the bit about it being better than an xbox is surely a matter of opinion. And I have to say, I agree with the seller of this auction. I own both an Amiga and an XBox. I get rapidly bored of the XBox games (ie within minutes). I find them vacuous, unengaging, and frankly pointless. Amiga games however, seem to have a lot more going for them.
Of course this is a matter of opinion, and it could be argued that the marketplace (be it eBay, a shop, whatever) is not the place to air that opinion, but to market a product on its own merits rather than by comparing it to other products. No doubt the seller was just trying to coax some bids out of uncertain buyers :roll:
