Commodore 64 Ultimate will be the first fresh equipment released under the auspices of the fresh management. This fresh home computer product is now Available for pre -order order Starting from USD 299, but shipping will not take place only in October at the earliest. For cash you will receive a device that definitely “is not a software emulator”, but is built around AMD Artix 7 FPGA and it is claimed that it is compatible with “over 10,000 original games, contributions and peripherals”.
We had ink that such equipment would be announced soon, because Commodore Corporation recently had the entire management structure by enthusiasts. Retro recipes Retro Techtuber Christian “Peri Fraktic” Simpson is now at the helm.
Two weeks ago, Simpson stated that he was now “acting general of the General Director of Commodore Corporation,” he joined several iconic Commodore names and was teasing with a fresh disclosure of the equipment. It seems that the takeover of Commodore Corporation is in a bag, but it is worrying that the funds do not seem to be completed to finalize the “low seven -digit” contract.

Commodore 64 Final review
We can see fresh equipment again that there are three fresh Commodore 64 Ultimate models to choose from, but they really differ cosmetically. It is believed that these machines have been the first fresh official C64 computers for over 30 years. But the equipment was not in stagnation, and this final model has a lot of newfangled tricks in Zanaderki.

Three editions, USD 299, USD 349 and 499 USD
The cheapest entrance to New Commodore 64 The final property is the basic beige edition for USD 299 during the promotional stage of this project in advance. As he says on the box, this is a standard beige machine and there are no lights. Despite the basic status, this machine will be equipped with the same “autographs/names of the creators of the C64 of the past and the present, engraved forever in copper motherboard” as the second, more costly models.
Going to the Commodore 64 Ultimate: Starlight Edition, and for an additional 50 USD you will get a machine with a translucent box, containing the “first translucent keyboard tile in the world.” There is also LED lighting that can be configured to react to sounds from the computer.
Much more costly, with 499 USD advertised, we find the Commodore 64 Ultimate: Founders Edition. This computer is located in a translucent amber housing, with a commemorative “sharing” certificate of Gold Sel Commodore. What’s more, there is a 24-carat necklace “dog tag” gold badge, and a holographic serial sticker with a golden label from 00000001. The issue of this collector also includes a T-shirt “and re-launted C =”. There is also reactive lighting in this model.

Details of social financing and reminder
This project uses a crowdfunding platform, not Kickstarter or Indiegogo, to save expenses. However, commodore.net pages provide readers that this fresh official product guarantees a refund, which means that you can cancel the order at any time before shipping to obtain a full refund “no questions asked”. When you were promised in your hands an annual circumscribed warranty covering the defects of materials and craftsmanship.
Readers are also sure that the release of this equipment is not associated with the success of the purchase of Commodore Corp. Despite this, some will want to wait until October or November and willingly pay at these crowdfunding prices in the amount of USD 50 to exploit information from the review of the Retro Technology publication, to the certainty of the ready production phase and shipping from shares.
