This is something I've wondered about, particularly when 1.3 was due imminently and now that 2.0 is "due RSN". If I buy an Amiga right now, and 2.0 and the new Denise come out in a couple of months, how much do I have to pay for the upgrade? Is there any magic length of time within which the upgrade is free? If there is no upgrade policy, does Commodore not suffer from declining sales when there are rummors of new chips/OS? Reason: I want a 500, don't want to wait an indefiniate amount of time (I'm selling my 1000 peripherals, so would have to live with a 512K 1000 for the interm) but am not desparate. Nobody knows if it is going to be a week or a half year until 2.0 is released, but I don't want to have to cough up >$100 for the ECS Denise and 2.0 when it comes out. I'd rather wait and buy a 500 with them installed. I can't see them raising the price of the 500's when the new stuff is included. Any ideas, opinions, etc.?
