Ethan,
Humm…you must not be reading the same message thread I'm reading.
NOTHING was said about holding up enhancer kits until new production gets
their hands on the chips. What was said was that Ali nix'ed the release in
the US only.
Yes…Commodore Int'l gets to decide what products it'll make, but
the individual marketing areas (such as CBM .. the US marketing arm of
Commodore Int'l) gets to pick which of those products offered by Commodore
Int'l it will pickup and sell.
That's according to messages from Commodore Int'l and CBM employees
here on CIS in the past. They also said there were very few "must carry"
items and each marketing area had absolute control over the products they'd
sell (other than the few must carry items).
Going from 'must carry' to 'can't carry' is a major change in
philosophy.
