Have you ordered the C64x?

[Belial6]

their primary relation with the CBM/Amiga community has been sending over a PR rep whose main activity was insulting anybody with the temerity to suggest that maybe we'd be interested in something that wasn't PC clone hardware in a novelty case

Except that never happened.  Nobody from CUSA, as far as I have ever seen has even implied that you shouldn't be interested in pure retro.  It is the pure retro group that attacked CUSA saying that they should not exist.  It is not CUSA that has claimed both cannot exist.  It is the 'pure' retro trolls that have done that.

Actually couldn't get one anyway as now I'm saving up for an R-MIGA A1000 instead

Franko feel free to purchase one now :roflmao:

This all sounds like a bunch of Sour Grapes to me.  The company is off the ground, they seem to be excited about their future.  If you are going to buy a cheap computer what's wrong with having one that gives you fond memories and provides you with pleasure.  How much is that worth?  I have no interest in a C64, but would love to see some new Amiga hardware, running an os that is compatible with my Amiga software.  Isn't that what all these
versions of Amiga software are doing right now?  Sounds like some people on here need to grow up a bit.

Voted no.. Because in reality I am looking for an option to get away from x86 based HW.
Will save my money for a new ppc based amiga.

I'm not the least bit interested in this system, but equally I don't hate it or anything.

The only reason I'd be interested in a C64 for is the SID chip as an interesting noise making device.  

The Commodore and Amiga we know and love are long dead.  OS4 / MorphOS / Aros will at best give you a similar desktop experience.  UAE will give you the retro experience or if you're really fussy you'll need an FPGA based system (Minimig / FPGA Arcade / Natami).  If you're really really fussy just buy a classic machine off ebay.

Note that none of those in production today are called "Commodore" or "Amiga".  They are just names now and if someone wants to make money off them good luck to them.

Apple MacBooks are just UEFI X86 PCs. My non-Apple laptop can run unmodified MacOS X 10.6 retail.

But if you're talking about CUSA products, they are not going to be "new Amiga Hardware" they're going to be (if they ever appear) nothing more than a PC running an emulator...

What are "all these versions of Amiga software" you speak off, don't quite make sense that sentence...

Folks here are grown up, well us that can see this whole load of CUSA BS for what it really is...

Neo-Amigas uses PC motherboard architecture with PowerPC CPU. Officially, "Commodore-Amiga" doesn't ship with PowerPC.

Given that this company is yet another player in the great game of breaking up and diluting the Commodore names while having little to nothing to do with the product that the name originally signified and their primary relation with the CBM/Amiga community has been sending over a PR rep whose main activity was insulting anybody with the temerity to suggest that maybe we'd be interested in something that wasn't PC clone hardware in a novelty case, you'll please forgive us a sour grape or two.

Commodore 64 was shipped Microsoft Basic as its basic user interface. Having Microsoft Windows follows this path.

One could buy C=USA's C64X mini-ITX case and Sam440ep mini-ITX solution. Acube needs to update SAM440ep mini-ITX form factor with PowerPC 460.

25 years of using an Amiga & being a true fan and I'm still having to learn new things even today... what's a Neo-Amiga (not even a google search shows up that one)... :confused:

Indeed one could do that, but still, if its that way, I would personally rather go for Daddy's new case. Looks promising.

Franko, it's a neolithic Amiga, used by prehistoric primitives. Here's an artists rendition of what it might have looked like:

@Franko
 
I always planned to buy the Blu-ray since I missed the film in the theater. I did not buy it for the Ads, LOL. If buyers of the movie don't open the leaflet the will totally miss the CUSA Ad since the outside of it only promotes Disney stuff. It has to be unfolded twice to see the C64 pic. To be honest most buyers will probability totally miss it.
 
Three other separate leaflet Ads are also included. I thought at first I did not have the C64 Ad since I got the Light Cycle version of the movie. I had to do a little hunting to find it.

Sounds like most people that buy the DVD will never see it.

Google Dave Haynie neo-Amiga

Dave Haynie (lead engineer of C= Amiga)'s "neo-Amiga" label refers PowerPC class AOS machines. The "neo" prefix means "new". http://www.answers.com/topic/neo

Why would I want a slow OS4 compatible's motherboard inside C64x case (which is not sold without that el-cheapo Atom motherboard).

Like it or not Windows is THE system for the best emulators.

So with a copy of the required Windows XP C64x = $700........*pass* :roflmao:

[maffoo]

I definitely won't be getting one. I quite like the idea, but I grew up with the Spectrum, not the C64, so it doesn't have any nostalgic value for me.
