Anyone? Bueller?

I'd buy one just to have one but cash and the fact that it's only for Europe so far will prevent that.

If it was available here I'd seriously consider it. I loved the C64.  Due to my dad having a friend that was part of the hacker community, I probably played more games on the C64 than every other system since combined.   Sometime dozens of games would fit on one floppy disk, and we had at least a couple hundred disks.  I'd feel bad about it, but I didn't know any better at the time and I still ended up buying dozens of games once I had my own money.

Yeah you could use both sides of a double sided floppy and flip it like a record to play games on the other side. LOL

I also bought my share of games, The Hitchhiker's Guide Text adventure, Temple of Apshai, Archon and a whole bunch I don't remember.

holy moses!  I never had a C64 until I was an adult collecting systems, but I used to go over to my friend's house and play one.  It always had a mystique I couldn't touch with my NES.  In retrospect, when I did have one and had to wait for the disc loading, it wasn't so cool.  But damn, I love c64 music SOOO much!  My roommate made a CD of the best music for me and I used to listen to it all the time.  Damn.
