The Best Things Come In Small Packages

While doing a Google search on the new Amiga I found this picture of the Commodore USA's 1000X (not Trevor's X1000).  It looks different than the 1000X currently shown on the C-USA site.

Reminiscent of the original A1000 (casewise).

Maybe it's just a homemade photoshop.

I can see the picture, but unfortunately my web filter won't let me see any of the web page it's posted on.

Dropped to $1995 from 2449 or so, in few days of criticism. Soon they might even go realistic, even now it has about $500 (a 40% profit)

Very very interesting.  I did a quick look at their forum, there is no word about this...
 
I wonder if there are any takers at $2,000?

[CritAnime]

They have knocked $500 off the price after only a few days. Is this the introductory prices they were meant to sell at?

Yes to all...
 

it was a friend of mine that posted that. he also said that Barry had taken the posts down almost instantly and sent some rather agressive PM's telling him never to post links to "similar" products again.
 
In any case here is the links.
 
A Weseana E5 case http://www.wesena.co.uk/product.php/7/3/e5 and an Iton keyboard http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Product-Listing-Detail.aspx?ProductID=19065
 
Oh and for those that are interested the pic of the box came from here http://www.computercloset.org/CommodoreAmiga1000.htm and leo just slapped their 1000x ontop.

No, they have been saying it was going to be $2500 for a couple of months now.

Too fast.  They hadn't changed the web page yet...

[vox]

Oh yes, now options scalable starting at $1499

Another $500 saved :-)

Surely, for 500$ less you get  i3-2130 3.4Ghz  instead of i5
and 4GB RAM only.

Is this overpriced or not?

1400 dollars for my system with an I7 2600K unlocked, Asus P8z68V PRO motherboard, 1000 watt gold Cooler Master PSU, Cooler Master case, 128G SSD, 16G ram, GTX560 Fermi, card reader, and pioneer blu ray drive.  THis was 6 months ago.  OH, and win7 Pro.

You tell me if they are overpriced garbage or not.

I like the funny part where Barry says he has refunded all the customers that paid full price yesterday.

Pricey, but certainly not low quality.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMMODORE USA MAKES IT RIGHT; LOWERS PRICES IMMEDIATELY AFTER MASSIVE CONSUMER OUTCRY.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. March 22, 2012 – Commodore USA, LLC announced today  the revision of the introductory price of its latest offering, the  AMIGA mini, as well as the addition of configuration options, allowing  for the selection of both CPU and memory.

Due to an overwhelming outpouring of customer comments, along with those  posted on the major tech blogs, the company has listened to the  thousands of requests for both lower prices and more choices, and  responded today with prices and options that most respondents indicated  was in line with other current offerings.

CEO Barry Altman states “Although we were ecstatic over the enormous  traffic and positive interest generated by our recent product launch, we  were equally dismayed and disheartened by the negativity regarding our  initial pricing. In retrospect, we agree, and sincerely acknowledge our  mistake, and hope you will take a second look at our new options and  pricing.  For all those customers who purchased the new AMIGA mini since  yesterday’s launch, we have already reimbursed their credit card  account reflecting the price difference. We would also like to thank all  our supporters for their patience, as we attempt to revive the  legendary Commodore and AMIGA brands”.

I love the way Barry writes as if he expects to get newspaper articles on this Mickey Mouse outfit. What were they expecting the reaction to their selling a ~$900-1300 computer for $2500 to be?
