Amiga Anywhere Entertainment Pack #1 for PocketPC Released

[Chathurawind]

Amiga Inc. has released the Amiga Anywhere Entertainment Pack #1 either as a download or on compact flash and SD card (Available to customers in the United States only). See this page for more information.

You're kidding me, right?  $64.95 for four games for a PocketPC?  *THIS* is that we've been waiting for???  I guess I'll wait until it hits the $10 shelf  during the Amiga Inc bankruptcy sale.

Outrageous.

There is a download version as well, for $29.95.
A little less steep.

I don't think tht page will encourage many people to buy it. They need a few more pics and a lot better desciption.

I wonder if it will be availble in shops, I think thats the best hope for this product.

I'd like to know why it's only available in the US, surely the whole point of downloading the software is people can get it from anywhere, quickly and easily.

Plus the AA site really does need to be redesigned (typos and all ;-)), it doesn't inspire much.

[SlimJim]

The card version is sold only in the US. The download version is sold everywhere (of course). It's quite clear on the website, only a little unclearly phrased in the news-item here on Amiga.org. ;-)

the name Amiga ANYWERE dosent seem to fit with this US only release then again its not realy something most amiga users will buy.

[SlimJim]

Coming to think of it - is this all that new? They announced something like this several weeks ago:

http://www.amiga-anywhere.com/microsoft/index.shtml

And this "new" stuff haven't appeared on amiga.com's main page.

Is it that it comes on a card as well that is new? Or didn't we see any prices before now?

I really hope that games and apps becomes more advanced on the AmigaAnywhere platform. Right now I dont think the excisting software can attrackt much more than a very small crowd.

For $65 you cold easily snap yourself a (used) GameBoy-Color
and better games. Maybe even for $30.

If thats all they got to offer after over two years, i'll say better a
horrible end than a endless horror.

Hey, guys!! - This stuff might not appeal to us, but to those who have one or more PDA's and spend al of time commuity, it may

They'll sell a lot of these, maybe to no one you know, but theres heaps of people with these PDA's out there, and they'll be bought!

Not at $65, they're not.  Most PDA users are used to buying games for $10 - $15 without having to buy the card.  It also doesn't make any sense for multiple PDA users to buy it in software form and have to sync it to multiple machines, or to have to buy an additional "SD?!?!?!" card to move it between machines.  

Granted, if your Windows PDA doesn't support SD cards, it's your only route...  Personally, I think this is like the idea of electronic comic books.   Pointless and overblown.

How come its only avaliable for ppl who live in US??? What about EU?? This plainly sux.....

Maybe they will even release the AmigaONE only in US sigh........

[Tomas]

The point of Amiga Anywhere is gone too...... When only US ppl can use it..
