Commodore Comeback? Not quite.
So now the website about the ‘relaunch’ of the Commodore Brand has got some content:
http://www.commodore.net/ or http://www.commodoreworld.com/
A part from the Mini Game Console
they seem to have bigger plans; however kind of confusing. And I am not
sure how this relates to the history of the commodore brand.
Here are the sections:
Hardware:
This section contains USB sticks. It was hard to find them, though. I also found an MP3 player after looking around some more.
Media & Merchandising:
This section is empty now, but will apparently contain clothing as well as optical and magnetic media. What a combination.
Music & Movies:
Looks like a co-branded DRM download site for music and movies. No c64
remixes – no real relation to Commodore at all, at least in my opinion.
Games:
Games as a paid for download.
If you look at the amount of companies involved, this looks like
a major undertaking, which in my eyes totally dillutes the brand:
