- I talked to my local Software Etc. last night and they said the reason no
- A600's were on display is because all the stores had to send them back to
- there distribution center so they could re-distribute them. Apparently
- they were selling well in some stores and not so well in others. They also
- said that they would be getting A1200's in Febuary. Our software Etc.
- stocks 4 or 5 shelfs of software, although there is a lot of duplication.
- On the bright side, the Amiga gets as much shelf space as the Mac.
-
- Even though many of the software titles are older they are very cheap. All
- Sierra games are less than $20 (U.S.), most Psyconosis games are under
- $20, and many others are even cheaper. I just picked up ORK by Psyconosis
- for $14.88. If you don't mind buying games 6 months to a year after they
- are first released, you can get some great deals.
-
- I do wish they would carry something other than games though!
