Yes, but isn't it also true that even these days the disk drive cost more to buy than the computer itself.

When the computers are introduced outside C64? I don't know.

 

One or two years later? Yes. The disk drive has higher price than the computer itself.

I remember this vividly, because my parents got me a Commodore game for Christmas, and when I opened it up and it was on a floppy disk I cried and threw a fit because WE COULDN'T AFFORD A DISK DRIVE. They thought it was on a cartridge and didn't know.

 

They eventually saved up the money and got one but the game got returned in the meantime and they got me a cartridge instead.
