My Amiga 3000, official release version, purchased from my local dealer on July 06/90, came in a sealed box. Inside was a shrink- wrapped copy of AmigaVision, complete with nice slip-cased manual and four Commodore labelled disks. This AmigaVision includes the LESS utility to display the disk doc files, and it produces a 'software error' requestor as soon as it is invoked.

Obviously, Mr Campbell's statement that AmigaVisions are not yet being bundled with 3000's applies to the geographical United States. Since you're posting from Canada Remote Systems, we can assume that your "local dealer" is in Canada...where the distribution policy for AmigaVision is different (separate marketing depts). So, John's statement is/was correct.
