Cool. I'm going to order now.

@capricious71 Technically, yes. Jack Tramiel left because this failed, and then they had chaotic management issues.

Meanwhile in Italy...Yes 4 Ghz pc!! :D

I'm sure the machine would have been OK as a typewriter, as long as you had that printer. I know my C64 and printer got me a lot of mileage in university.

@:40 what is that rectangular media?

Was the Plus4 the downfall of Commodore?
Shame they're no longer around, even if they'd be making PCs.

@snake2006 - Better sound yes, but technically the Plus/4 had better graphics since it had 127 colors and the C64 only had 16. Plus/4 also had a faster CPU, better BASIC, and a lot of other neat things. The biggest drawback was no hardware sprites.

C64 was better. It could do better graphics, better sound and had better software support.

With it priced like that it was clearly in C64s territory. It was supposed to be much cheaper as an answer to the Sinclair which had a horrible keyboard compared to the plus 4. Jack probably would have sold millions of these had he stayed on.
I called the number and wanted to buy one, but they didn't know what I was talking about.

Sony must feel like this guy with all those PS3s stacked up behind them.
