Just an aside. I was told by my dealer that the $1499 A3000 deal was recinded on 9/30/92. Did anyone else hear this? Thanks. Mark

Well, today is October 5 and I just bought one for 1499.00 and the dealer t d me that that was the price until further notice. In his opinion, it may very well stay there. (G, How many shopping days 'till x'mas?)

Sounds like good news to me. I was hoping to get an A3000 at that price. It's more than enough machine for me. Thanks, Mark (Via AP)

Mark, I think it was the "buy a 3000 get a free CDTV" offer that was recinded and replaced with the $1499.00 3000 offer. Dennis ….on AutoPilot

Well, I really didn't want a CDTV anyway. Thanks for the info. BTW, This AutoPilot has been a real fun thing. I don't know how much cheaper its been, but I sure feel like I'm getting a bargain. Mark

Mark, I had been using Whap! for the last year before switching to AutoPilot and I was saving about 50% AND visiting more forums. It makes a big difference. Dennis ….on AutoPilot

I could never get Whap! to work right, but AP seems to work like a charm. I registered after 3 days trial. Mark via AP

I wonder if they were running out of CDTVs…. // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/ AMIGA Hopefully sparing the wallet some bruising…:^)

Actually, there was to be a "buy a 3000 and get a CDTV for free" deal… IT was replaced by the "buy a 3000/50 for $1495 and get SCALA free" deal (good until Nov. 30th, currently). – Keith

SCALA looks like a great program. I'm glad the deal isn't over. I think I lust for the upgrade. My old A500's getting slow, and even with 4.5 meg RAM and an internal HD (40 meg) I want bigger, faster, better. The A4000 is too rich for my blood, yet. Thanks, Mark (Via AP)

IMHO SCALA is nothing short of astounding. Those guys have produced one heck of a nice package there. This is one of the few C= package deals that has had something REALLY worthwhile included in it. {@_@} (All IMAO etc etc.)

Any bets that it gets extended over the holiday? Remember that they're last "promotional" price just about became the official price after so many people screamed about the 1 Jan price hike….. // Brian — Cruising on AutoPilot….. \X/ AMIGA Hopefully sparing the wallet some bruising…:^)

What the dealer should have said is that Commodore required their dealers to purchase their units (and get price protection on their current inventory of A3000s) by September 30th. The program will continued to be advertised until 10/30. In talking with the Commodore Federal Group, so far, the pricing on the A3000 is a promotion and not an actual price change. If it were an actual price change Commodore would have to change the GSA pricing–this is not currently being done. So, this promotion may end, or it may get extended. However, at least today Commodore says they have not changed the MSRP on the A3000, but rather have a special sales promotion through October 30th. At least, that is how I understand it–and I am an Amiga dealer. -mark= Vote Ross Perot '92
