They were advertised in Edge this month.

My first thought was "oh, pretty cool"

My second was "How much?!?!?!?"

My third was "They can **** right off"

Wouldn't touch Alienware laptops / desktops with a very long barge pole. Had two of the things, and they were both terrible in both build quality and reliability. Expensive too

Actually, it wasn't Commodore Gaming that went bust (and was reverted) it was Commodore International Corporation, a completely different company...

Noooooooo, tis true. Just checked the web site.




"If a sale of the business cannot be achieved, we understand from the Directors that Rock maintained an insurance policy to cover the extended period of the warranty (years two and three following purchase). We are currently liaising with the insurers to confirm the cover provided by this policy and to confirm the alternative arrangements they would provide in the event that a sale of the business cannot be achieved."
