Has anyone noticed Commodore's return from the dead?

Now, that's something you don't see every day. It appears that a British actor who also is a known retro-computers youtuber, acquired the Commodore brand.

They also have a first official computer launching.

There's discussions at Pouet and csdb.

If it's as good as it says, the price point is nice. But somehow I doubt this will go down well...

Yeah, Compute's Gazette's so-called "first edition in 35 years" has a coverage on them. Free download: https://www.computesgazette.com/free-edition/

If it is the real Ultimate64 (from Gideon) under that case (maybe an older batch, not the Elite I/II), then the price is pretty nice.

No resurrection possible.
Its more like snatching corpses.

I first heard about this a few weeks ago (7.6.) when Christian (Perifractic) posted his idea of buying Commodore on his channel. At first, I thought it was a silly joke, but then it happened very quickly, so it was probably planned for a while.

Christian 'Peri Fractic' Simpson is a nice guy; I wrote with him a few years ago when he did an episode about SymbOS for the Amstrad PCW.

I have no idea how this will end, but for a start, it sounds very nice that an enthusiastic person like him is now a leading part of the new "Commodore Company" team

I wish we could have the same for Amstrad, but I'm not sure how enthusiastic Lord A.M.S. is about the CPC spirit. At least it's very cool and an honor to have the CPC as the title screen of his new website.

to me..this is just silly... 
slapping the commodore name on a system doesnt make it a commodore... even if ya have all the licencing...

...and the price is absolutely outrageous
