The Commodore 64 Ultimate computer is the company's first hardware release in over 30 years — pre-orders start at $299

Yea, just sold to a prominent retro computer YouTuber (though I'm blanking on the name atm) so I think it's in good hands now (though too soon for this product, it was literally like a week or 2 ago they closed the deal)

It’s an extremely niche product, to be fair. The general public was never going to buy it, and diehards will buy it at a premium price. When you consider the small manufacturing runs they’re probably planning, the price seems less ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn’t pay $300 for it, so I don’t claim it’s a “good value”, but I can understand from a mathematics of manufacturing standpoint why the price is something like that.
