After months of suspense, the Commodore brand acquisition is now complete. In Part 3 of Let’s Buy Commodore, Perifractic reveals the final steps of this historic deal. The episode shows the contracts signed, the payment completed, and the brand officially transferred to a fan-led consortium. For the first time, Commodore is back in the hands of people who truly value its legacy.
The video begins on the way to the Netherlands, where the last documents awaited. With escrow cleared and funds secured, the signing session stretched for hours. Page after page confirmed the new ownership. As Perifractic jokes, it felt like facing the “final boss” in an 8-bit adventure. Yet every signature pushed Commodore closer to a new beginning.
From Prototype to Production
The episode highlights progress on the Commodore 64 Ultimate. Sales of the Founders Gold Edition were key in reaching the acquisition target. Production is now moving ahead. Viewers see early designs of the menu system, GEOS compatibility, and the familiar Commodore BASIC boot screen.
The new systems will even ship from the same UK factory used in the 1980s. That link between past and present adds weight to the revival.
Emotional Support and Industry Voices
Community response has been overwhelming. Fans expressed joy, and even ZX Spectrum supporters praised the news. Former Commodore leaders also voiced support. David Pleasance offered encouragement, while Leonard Tramiel shared insights and advice.
Their presence adds credibility and strengthens trust in the project’s direction. Together, these voices underline the importance of bringing Commodore back the right way.
Looking Ahead
Perifractic describes the future as more than a retro revival. He sees Commodore becoming a “digital detox” brand, focused on creativity and fun. Plans are already forming, including new SID chip projects and potential Amiga developments.
Part 3 ends with the final signatures that make the acquisition official. For fans, the moment offers closure and excitement in equal measure. Commodore has returned.
