Can't connect to the Commodore homepage where the news is said to also be published.

Whether the concept will be successful, remains to be seen.

A blast from the future past!

It seems like a lot of heat to put in that small case.

Ah, there we go, they put a price on it. It's very... retro. :lol:

But the news today is the price. And even that is retro. The C64 model will cost you $595, which is the exact price the machine cost when it was originally released in 1982. Back then this was a radically lower price than IBM and Apple were offering, Commodore boasting (http://www.commodore.ca/gallery/adverts_commodore/computers_for_everybody_compute_aug83.jpg) that they were bringing computers to the people.
