    U can´t even use a basic programm from a VIC20 on a C64, u have to do changes.
    The price sure don´t include a floppy disk or casette recorder.
    They compare the C64 with the Atari 800 (not 800 XL), so this must be a very early C64 comercial.

    I’d thought I’d bring this up…
    Actually the prices of the IBM, Apple, and the Atari home computers were actually quite less than that(minus the software, storage device, keybaord, mouse, and screen. Those prices would come into an effect if you were to get the “fully loaded” top of the line models of those systems. And the Commodore 64 that they show is the basic model, and at that price would have no software, storage devices, keyboard, mouse, and screen.
