C64x Unboxing videos

[commodorejohn]

By the way, here's a fun quote I found in an earlier thread:

I said we will be shipping from inventory with no  wait by mid summer. We will start shipping the preorders, in the order  they were received, by the end of this month.

("This month" being May. )

("This month" being May. )

guys, i think we should lay off CUSA at this point.  it's fairly obvious that barry and perhaps a few workers are assembling the C64x boxen by hand at their florida offices.  it's going to take a while to fulfill all of the orders, and shipping those with the highest profit-margins allows them to cover their costs earlier rather than later.

the 'VIC' series is all done overseas, but it looks like the C64x is slapped together from parts ordered from suppliers.  until they have the ability to outsource assembly -- like they outsource development of any kind -- you ain't gonna see much in the way of volume.  i mean this is all done as cheaply as possible.  the manual is a reprint of the ubuntu docs with a one-page addition printed up by a third-party.   that's also probably why the much bally-hooed television adverts haven't aired yet.

let's give 'em a break for a while.  they aren't fooling people any more, so let's let this one go.

If they can't take the heat, they should never have stomped into the kitchen proclaiming themselves the master chef.

Oh, they've shipped? Great! Now I'm left with only all of my main objections!

True, C=USA is just struggling to get all products shipped to existing pre-orders.  I think that is what truly annoys the anti-C=USA trolls, success.

I can't speak for the trolls but I will speak for the average person here.
What truly annoys us is the lack of acceptance for some of the genuine grievances people have  with the way CUSA and their fanboys have presented their business, and the way they have conducted themselves in the public eye.

CUSA are not blameless when it comes to the aggravation on this site and elsewhere.

Not all negative comments are a result of bitterness, anti cusa trolling, fanboyism for AOS3/4/AROS/MOS/Natami or whatever.

A bit more honesty, humility and respect for others from now on, would go a long way to repairing some of the damage already done.

The sad thing is that I think The Daddy shipped more Minimig v1.1 cases than C-USA has shipped 64x's so far.

I don't think so:

Dammy, you do realize that that post has already been posted already on this thread and that the original poster of that post posted it possibly more positive then you...

I love Alliteration, don't you?:roflmao:

[Duce]

Numbers then, Dammy - otherwise you're talking out of your hindquarters again and 9 of the damned things might have been shipped.

Having some heat problems with them, I see.  Was reading the one fellow had to tear his apart and install better/additional fans in his, which is when his wireless networking started to work reliably.  So much for that warranty.  Not sure if that was before or after he had to use a notebook cooler stand to cool the thing down.

So a few handful of sub par Atom processor C64 replica case machines have finally shipped from a small office facility in FL. Why is this news again?

I don't think you understand the volume they are shipping out.  They had excess of 40,000 pre-order sales that will all be shipped by end of the month.   Once COS 1.x is out the door, I suspect we will be hearing more about their new Commodore Amiga series.  I certainly hope by November we hear what COS 2.x series is going to be and it's roadmap.

Talk is cheap, where is the proof that 40,000 machines were sold? Please don't say the fake pictures from China.

[J-Golden]

... What IS COS?!?!?  Or even COS 1.X?  I've seen the name splashed around and that it is a skinned Linux distro.  Is 2.x an Amiga themed skin instead of a C64 themed skin?

What is the big deal about COS?  I asked you this before and you completely ignored me...

[Franko]

There's no point in asking Dammy for a straight answer cos you'll never get one...

You see even though I believe Dammy knows enough about CUSA to actually tell the real facts and figures he never will reveal this for the simple fact that all the stuff he's posted in the past year (while some of it has probably been based on fact) has been twisted and shaped in Dammy warped mind to suit what he thinks would be best to tell the world...

The stuff Dammy's been posting for nearly a year now is so bent out of shape that he cannot answer a straight question as he would lose face if he just came clean and admitted the facts as they really are. Unfortunately in Dammy's mind these so called facts and figures are now reality to him and nothing anyone says will convince the poor sod otherwise...

The whole CUSA thing has now been and gone, it's over they produced nothing more than a plastic replica case of the old C64 sold a few and now just like me the media and the rest of world just don't care about CUSA or anything they do any longer...

CUSA lost big time, apart from all the hype and crap posted on these forums about their great plans, what did they achieve... nothing, nowt, nada, sod all basically...

As for their so called Amiga range well that'll just be a bigger flop than the C64x, they've already lost that one before it's even started, I mean what happened to the "Were making the new Workbench 5.0 like it or else" crap, again simple they couldn't and can't nor can they even use the name Workbench...

Face it Dammy the hype & BS is over, CUSA failed big time and in another years time they will be no more, perhaps it's time to start looking for the next big thing to champion cos the great CUSA RollerCoaster ride has peaked and it's all downhill from here, next stop the dodgems...

I'll give CUSA & you this much Dammy you sure did try and convince the world that all this was real and the next big thing and well done for at least giving it a go with a passion, but it's yesterdays news now and all the posts in the world aint gonna change that and if the Amiga stuff comes along then it would be simpler just to re-run these threads and swap C64x for Amigax in the thread titles...
