What would a digital media services/software company want with the C= brand, what would they gain that's worth 24 million ? ?

Euro 24 million!!! Crazy!!

Can anyone specify what exactly is included in that price, apart from the name. Can't understand Dutch I'm afraid :)

I'd say they(Tulip) hit a homerun on that, except that new company has some
groundbraking ideas up their sleeves...

How good for Tulip.

The brand name

Commodore is still wellknown, but 24 million ? sound a bit too much.

IIReadC Tulip bought the brand name for ~10 Million ¤ but now they sold not only
the name but also the hardware which is/was developed by them since then,

A "Commodore Amiga 500 DTV" on one chip, made by the genius Jeri Ellsworth perhaps?

They did release an MP3 player but it was just some relatively cheap crap sold under diffrent names.

I really cant see how the Commodore brand can be worth 24 mill. Euroes.

@Nicholas

I doubt Jeri could design that, guess most documentation on the chipsets are lost and they would also need to license the Amiga name (which Should cost them $millions:)

IMO the Commodore brandname is the greatest asset here. I also believe that "Amiga" is a valuable and most excellent brandname. IMO don't listen to what competitors may claim otherwise.

Also the IBM brandname was the most important aspect why a Chinese company bought IBM's PC unit in a 1.75 *billion* USD deal. (China has a much cheaper yet competent workforce and everyone can build PC clones)

I think they are refering to this: www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/30/cbm_vs_apple/
