I have seen the same commercial, but I dont think it is a ripoff.  There
was such a beastie as the commodore plus-4 computer, but it wasnt out
very long (they used to have it at childworld for about $250-$300 (i think)).
It didnt sell very well at all and was discontinued, so I imaging that
the company pushing them cheaply just bought out commodores supplys of
them.
