Yeh, not really a commodore, just a white box, high spec, with some pretty gfx on the case... If the price is right they might sell, but I doubt it, and it seems that all that the new machines have in common with our beloved c64 is the logo anyway :(

oh well, on the bonus side they might start doing a few bits and pieces with the logo on it that might come in handy for the SIDers
