Commodore: Back with a Vengeance, and a side story on Kingdom Hearts

Folks. I am excited. It seems Commodore, one of the makers of the computers of the early 80s before Microsoft stepped, may be back with a vengeance. The computer maker has announced that it's making a comeback with the old Computer inside a Keyboard made for a new generation.

In addition to newer models for the sleeker, geekier, modern computer whiz, Commodore is even coming out with a new variation of its old C64 model. Destructoid has this to say

The systems may look old on the outside but have enough packed inside to make for a rather serviceable computer. The Commodore PC64 will include an Intel Atom 535 processor with an NVIDIA Ion2 graphics card, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a terabyte hard disk and a DVD-ROM (with optional Blu-Ray). The system is expected to release in time for the holidays.

Commodore fans. Your time of salvation has come. Everyone else, I suggest you give it a shot.

Here's hoping that these keyboard computers are backwards compatible with oldskool Commodore Programs and allows me to hook up the keyboard to a Television Screen.

And Very late news. For those of you who own a PSP Go, it seems Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will not be a downloadable game and will be a retail-only game. That is just wrong. What are you thinking SquareEnix? I want a reason to trash my PSP-2000 and go with just PSP Go. I want to GO and you're telling me to STOP. HOW DARE YOU.
