C64 relaunched (!)

Just came across this:

Apparently, the C64 is being relaunched in the UK as a £29.99 games console, with 30 classic C64 games bundled. (Uridium, Paradroid, Impossible Mission, Summer Games, etc.)

Sounds good - might even be tempted myself!

Sounds a little bit tacky! I think I like the emulator better and at least you have access to Basic.. Still nice to see them try.

Great link - thanks Rambo.

That lead me to here which has a nice description of how to connect a normal PC keyboard, giving full access to everything... I'll definitely have to get one now!
