Commodore Gaming launched
Moments ago, the new Commodore Gaming website has launched, presenting a range of new gaming PCs.Special features are:
- Optimised for gaming with high-end components outfit
- Sleek, exchangeable case with Commodore Logo, sound insulated
- Windows Vista preinstalled
- c64 Emulator preinstalled with +50 games
Whether or not the Commodore brand name will be enough to make a difference for the old school Commodore fans, or if Commodore will be able to establish their market within the younger generation remains to be seen. If they can achieve the latter, it would be possibly beneficial for the retro world, bringing c64 goodness to a younger generation through the preinstalled emulator.

Timbaland becomes "video game idiot"!
According to "Games Press", Timbaland is now collaborating on a PSP version of Rockstar's browser-based music mixer. This of course is deeply ironic considering his alleged beat-stealing from Finnish computer musician Janne Sunni, and his dissing of Janne as "a video game idiot".

C64 orchestra on tour!
Hello C64 orchestra fan,It has been some time since you heard from us. But no worries, we will keep you updated on what's happening!
Let's start with what's happening with the release of the C64 cd. Right now we are talking with different record companies in and outside Europe. Our record label in Europe is Rounder and we are talking with Yep Roc in the States. We are working on the release of a special edition with all the specifics of C64 design. We invited some great Dutch design companies and finally made the choice to work with Hotel. In the mean time we are working on clarifying some legal issues concerning the rights of songs and games, a slow but necessary process. The release, the special edition and the 'normal' version, will be two cd's. One will be the orchestrated version by the C64 orchestra and the other one has the original tunes, two games and an emulator to play the C64 games on your pc. And we will also add some video footage of the premiere! So it's a full package of C64 fun!
The big question is: when will the cd be released?
We hope to release it in June 2007, but it's a long shot. Lots of issues need to be resolved before we can raise the flag!
C64 orchestra is ON tour:
15-03-07 De Vereeniging, Nijmegen, NL
17-03-07 Atak, Enschede, NL
16-05-07 Vredenburg, Utrecht, NL
03-06-07 Virusfestival, Eindhoven, NL
14-07-07 Forma Nova Festival, Fredericia, Denmark

Timbaland 'fesses up to videogame idiots worldwide
In a revealing radio interview, Timbaland (famed Hip Hop Producer and well known SID fan) appeared to inadvertently confess to the theft of "Acid Jazz Evening" from Janne Sunni and Glenn Rune Gallefoss while trying to defend himself.
His main legal argument appears to be that the use of the tune was legal sampling because:
The apparent admission that he doesn't know where his samples come from is a gift to the case against him and Geffen Records.
His main legal argument appears to be that the use of the tune was legal sampling because:
- He damn too important
- He didn't go round the guy's house or nuffink
- He's never been to Finland, and...
- The piece was written by "a videogame idiot", so it doesn't count.
