    "However, Commodore is remaining tight lipped on the actual cost of the machine. “While I can’t say anything specific about the price structure, the low end will be extremely competitive with the market, and the high end will offer great value for money on super human systems,” sales and marketing manager Sean Charles told PC Retail."

    I guess you're quite young and you don't remember the old Commodore 64 computer ..

    The C16 was much later than the 64... It came out the same time as the 128 and Plus4

    Nostalgia be damned! As you said ANYONE could find the hottest parts and stick them into an ugly case with a bit of paint on them, thats a shame that this is their "revitalization".

    Yes, it's a bit "cheap" to just do a PC like this, but it's not like they have much of an option. I don't think it's easy to push into the console segment with a whole new, incompatible console using their own custom hardware. And if they did like before and made the hardware themselves, the prices will be insane if they were willing to provide this performance. At least this machine will be directly usable by gamers, not an extremely pricey piece of hardware without any games.

    I had a Commodore 64, and a VIC20 back when I was young, and I don't see the point of this either.

    ...but does this one come with an 8 pound 5 1/2" floppy drive, or high capacity cassette tapes?
