I took the opportunity to email the company, suggesting a few things. Here is the complete email. Note the legal disclaimer. I love server tricks. I'm waiting for a response from Mr. Kroder now.

The extra retro surprise is a C64 emulator with 50+ games, so far not revealed which. Perhaps they have other surprises not officially mentioned. The price tags yet are secret, but it has been suggested around £1000 for the Commodore G starting model, up to £5000 for the high-end Commodore XX model. They will start to sell them in mid-April.
