Yea, I saw a post on here a few months ago about them. Kind of "neat" in a way however it is a completely different company going down a completely different path with nothing to do with the old CBM that we all grew up with.   :cry:

Overpriced? it´s about the same price range as this
and i not see somebody complaining about the price, even more all pc magazines review it as the cream of the cream

@Fransexy_

"overpriced" is the standard kneejerk complaint around here.

Alienware stuff isn't just overpriced but ugly to boot :p.

If they wanted to get big points with the Commodore name, all they would need to do is include a C64 emulator pre-installed, and license a few of the classics for inclusion.  If I were already going to buy a boutique gaming machine anyway, I would have fun screwing with my friends by showing them how cool my 'Commodore' PC was because it came with Jumpman, Impossible Mission, and Ultima III.

If you HAVE to buy a windoze machine, assemble your own! Even with two graphics cards you can save maybe as much as $3K!

I just noticed this thread, and my first reaction was "damn, that's a TON of money for a custom case+common pc parts, no thanks"

I don't think that the Commodore computers are that overpriced. If you add up all the common PC parts that are required to built a computer like the Commodore GX you will probably end up with a computer that costs roughly the same.

(The prices stated on the Commodore site probably include 17.5% VAT so you have to substact 15% of the price to make valid comparisions with US prices.)

Whats Commodore about this?

I agree with Belial6, include an emulator.
Maybe make old titles available for like $1.99?
I'd buy Neuromancer, Wasteland, and a few others for sure.

My $.02...
