Commodore 64 DTV for sale now!
I stayed up late last night to watch QVC - a US-based shopping channel :) Normally I don't do such things, but in this case they were selling the joystick that I spent about 9 weeks this summer/early fall working on. Some friends and I were responsible for the software inside the "TV Game". Pretty cool watching the guys on TV demonstrate it - the host (who obviously wasn't as knowledgeable as the guest) kept stressing how it was "computer-driven!" and how it replaces the "bulky hard drive" and "keyboard" of the C64. These things can only be funny or annoying to a geek like me.
Anyway, the "E22494-Commodore 64 30-in-1 Classic Plug & Play Video Game" is "Today's Special Value" for $27 USD + shipping, or buy the 2 pack for $47+same shipping as one joystick. An individual stick will probably go back to $33 each after this. So if you do want one, it's probably best to grab it today. Just search for "Commodore" on the QVC website, if there isn't an obvious link to it on the main page. I'm going to get another 2 - there's some kind of neat things you can do with it if you take it apart and get busy with a soldering iron.
