    Commodore XX Gaming PC *REVIEW*

    Yes, you read right...Commodore XX Gaming PC



    It was back at this year's CeBit tradeshow when we came across the reintroduction of the Commodore brand, and this was probably one use most akin to the heart of the name without having to suffer the cut throat market that is the modern day console war. Instead, by offering a gaming PC and riding on the brand that Commodore made for itself, it puts the company in a good position to take on the likes of Dell and Alienware when offering the complete kit for those that want something a little different.
    Best part of it all?

    ...As well as a full two-year parts and service warranty, the system comes preloaded with an emulator so you play over 50 classic C64 games as well. They may not stress the likes of the hardware inside, but it sure as hell beats the integrated Vista games for some top quality retro action. The warranty covers the parts inside as well as the C-Kin quality on the outside should there be a problem.

    Umm...No. Those threads were what Commodore was announcing, this is an actual REVIEW of the products. This thread is a different topic.

    Those threads were about a product release and technical discussion, not just a press release from Commodore. As there are already several discussion threads, surely a review of the product, being, you know, like, an in-depth discussion (albeit a monologue) of that product, should go in an already existing discussion thread?

    Unless of course it's appropriate to have a separate thread for every different review of a product?

    Stop bickering and let the moderators and admins handle the moderating stuff.

    I for once love the fact that they are bundling the PCs with an emulator and overall it does seem like a decent PC.
