  I was so excited when I first heard about the C64 mini, but lost all interest after I read that the keyboard isn't real.

  Good price though. I wonder if the $70 saving would be enough to cover the cost of parts required to hack it to make the keyboard functional.

    The keyboard will never be functional. It's a single piece of plastic

  Probably worth noting this is coming from the US.

    I picked one up form the US Amazon as well ($90 AUD - :-() and it arrived rapidly! US yes, but should make no difference. Tomorrow I will know. :-)

      What could the difference be?

      It uses USB power and the firmware are all the same

  Thanks. Bought one. Regular price of $150 was a bit steep, but this is good value.

    well to make it realisitic, shove the tape in and have a few games of hide & seek before playing.

  Isn’t there a full size with working keyboard coming out?

  • 

    manity on 24/12/2018 - 19:54

    There is a rumour that they are looking to produce a full size replica version with a working keyboard. But I think you may be able to use a USB keyboard on the mini.

    • 

      Twisty on 24/12/2018 - 21:02

      Yer you can
      The full size is coming out in 2019

  Lol keyboard doesn't work what's the point?

• 

  manity on 24/12/2018 - 19:52

  My understanding is there is a firmware update that allows you to upload any game you like so no longer restricted to what it comes with. Also fixed a bunch of other issues.i assume the firmware update can be applied to any units sold previous

  Where do you plug in the Datasette?

  Ended up biting at that price. More just as a collectible as I already have several working C64s and an Ultimate-64 :)

  It’s funny how everyone has their favourite classic console these days. For me, only the SNES would be worth it since I actually found that an amazing console with some fantastic games which are still good enough to play today (my best friend had one back in the days, I went for the Megadrive - fall). The only game on the NES I’d see myself playing would be Super Mario 3 and to me the C64 is just not worth it (fully acknowledging the role they played in bringing arcade games to the living room but games were just a bit too simple back then to enjoy now I suppose). I see no point in the new PS1 either - to me, all the good PS games have been improved over the years, there’s not a single game that stood out which hasn’t been replaced by something better (eg FIFA).

  Be nice to see EB Games get their price down on this

  Love mine. What a bargain. Amazon even gave me a $15 credit due to price reduction. So mine got down to about $65 after cashrewards and this credit.

  But boy the games are hard!
