C64x Unboxing videos

And if you want a C64 case, you can DIY for far less than the cost of their overpriced Franklin Mint crap.

I don't, but, the Business of selling retro cases prepared to hold modern parts sounds much more interesting.
I highly doubt that I could DImyself a case replica. Specially the keyboard part.

And best of all it gives you two "Atari" style digital joystick ports (justl like a real C64) which you don't get with a C64x.

Nice bit of kit.  I have the 8 bit and 16 bit ones and they work.

Please, only use these on "dead" Commodore machines with good keyboards.  Don't trash a good one.

Well, in short, they "stole" a lot of their early info from Amiga fans and tried to pass it off as their own designs.  Then they started threatening people with cut & paste legal letters for the internet, then they started threatening and insulting anyone who pointed any of this out or who disagreed with their business model.  Then they started trying to pass off any other company they bought components off or purchased advertising space from as either "their facilities" or "their hand-in-hand partner".  Let's not mention the lies behind the sales numbers and production runs where they couldn't work out between them whether cases had been shipped, were being produced, were still prototypes, etc.  Hell, the C64x was supposedly shipped once a couple of months ago (says Spammy) only for Leo to then post that they were still trying to decide whether to include a mouse in the package (hard to put something in a box that has already been mailed), and as you can see, the first deliveries have only just happened.  Oh, and the threats, homophobic remarks and lies just keep on coming.  Did you see the the pictures of "their factory in China" showing thousands of motherboards apparently being shipped, only for The Daddy to find the link to the same photographs showing it to be 2 years old and of a factory in Germany?  Classic stuff!

If they just came clean and said that they were a PC reseller, operating on a shoestring budget from a small building in a Florida business mall then they would get a lot of respect.  Unfortunately, the community has had its fill of lies over the years and the pure unprofessionalism of the company doesn't bode well for after-sales support.

C-USA has had months to turn around, apologize for past mistakes and reboot their image.  It seems that they are led by people with character flaws running so deep that they can't even manage that.

That's the problem.  

I think I'm going to start cutting and pasting this paragraph every time someone comes in and starts calling us whinner's and bullies for being anti-C-USA.

We don't hate their product folks!! We just don't like them.

[_ThEcRoW]

Sheesh, still going...

So, you don't like C-USA because they lie and cheat...
Got it..

Hey, have you ever heard of this guy named Jack Tramiel??

Fun fact: The flight computer aboard the space shuttle has less than 1% of the power of the Xbox game console.

There are a lot of business, DIY and marketing experts on Amiga.org. They can do it all cheaper, better, faster and have 100k units ready at the drop of a hat.

We're definitely not in the same category as these arm-chair business super-stars

No, you're in the "liars and cheats" category.

[mingle]

Geez, will you give it a rest...

You mean, will I stop answering questions or correcting statements?

No.

[magnetic]

Wow. Looks really really cool. Nice design and packaging. Very fun. I dont know why they same handful of people consistently hijack these threads and ruin the fun.. its so lame. Just because its not your vision of something cool no need to always rain on the parade. Its beyond rational or justifiable behavior at this point.

[DyLucke]

I can't believe this.

Let's see what we got here... A below average performance desktop pee-cee, bundled in a C64 case that costs around 600 bucks... Everything wrapped into Commodore parafernalia...
And including a "nice" C64 emulator...

MAN! My netbook performs almost the same and costs less than a half than that thing does.

I don't know what's up with that company that claims to be Commodore (USA) but that thing is NOT a Commodore at all.

Do you know what does this thing remind me?

Another piece of crap made by a company that claimed to be Commodore, a piece of crap that was outdated already when it came out to the shops. This piece of "fine" hardware i'm talking about "it's gonna be... (Wait for it)... Legen-... Uh, no... Web-it

Ladies and gentlemen take a look to this and behold how history repeats, and how some people go stepping into the same stone over and over...
Using the name and giving NOTHING in exchange.

You just can't build a crappy PC and put on it a C64 sticker and claim it to be a C64.
The fraudulent policy of C-USA has stolen not only the Commodore name, nor the C64 case, but ALSO EVEN THE F-KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD.

Press F12 to continue... If you can.

I'm not going to buy that crap. I can emulate a C64 on my desktop PeeCee, on my Netbook, on my Mini or even on my A1200. I do own 4 C64's... I don't need another peecee into a breadbin case that probably will melt itself due the lack of airflow into a case that doesn't provide enough space for a proper refrigeration for components that produce so much heat.

What most of us are waiting for, is an implementation of the C64 on a FPGA in the way the Natami is for the Amiga...
Not some other crappy intel-nvidia-gates triunvirate product. With a nice C= sticker that means... tons of overpricing.

The former top-segment C= branded peecees marketed a couple of years ago, were a "good" idea, good performance but too expensive.
On the other hand, this product has poor performance and yet an expensive price for what is providing.

So, i can only say one thing: Boooooo
