Just to let you know, Commodore is having a special promotion until 6/30/91, on A-3000s. If you bring in the top page of your owner's manual with the serial number of your C-64 or A-1000 or A-500 or A-2000, these are the prices: A-3000 16MHz 68030/68881 $1849.00 A-3000 25MHz 68030/68882 $2249.00 (both have 50Mbyte HardDrives) similar savings on the 100Mbyte model Now, if you consider how much it would cost to get a stock A-2000 and add an accelerator card, 2 Mbyte chip ram, 32bit DMA SCSI controller, and flicker- fixer....... well, I think you get the idea. The A-3000s have been selling like hotcakes in my neck of the woods! As a personal recommendation, consider buying the 16 MHz version and saving your hard earned cash for the next generation 68040 cards WITH cache. Remember that 200 pin connector on the A-3000? Can you say AFFORDABLE 20 MIPS ??! :)

Can someone who has a VIC-20 save as much money as someone who has a A-2000, or are the discounts variable? Also, can you save extra money if you have more than one Commodore computer?

Also, can you save extra >money if you have more than one Commodore computer? > The discounts are the same no matter what you use to upgrade (VIC 20 -> A2500). It only depends on what you're buying. So if you get an A3000-25/100 and you power up with a VIC 20, you'll get $1500 off. The same if you use a C64, C128, A500, & A2x00. Now the second question is an intrigueing one (I happen to have a C64 and 2 C128s - can we say $3500 off?) I've been trying to get Commodore via 1-800-66-AMIGA, but all I've gotten is a recording saying basically call 1-800-448-9987, where no one has picked up the phone, yet. Myself, I think it's probably limited to a different CPU per trade up, ie you have 3 C64s, you can get 3 A3000-25/1000s with $1500 off on each, but I've seen nothing in any of the literature from CBM stating this, or anything else about multiple systems. If anyone finds out what the policy is, please post! >Laura >-- >Laura A.

Do you _really_ think Commodore will give you $3500 off of a Amiga 3000?

Do >you _really_ think Commodore will give you $3500 off of a Amiga 3000? Nah, I was just wondering how multiple systems might affect the program. I just chose an extreme example of what could be possible (in the correct universe). Basically I've verified that you can only apply one computer (or serial number as I was told) to each A3000 you get with the Power Up deal. >Why does postings like this scare me so...
