I like how the pictures are showing young kids or teens playing on a huge modern screen when really this should be marketed for an older demographic and in a different style environment.

This looks like a very nice quality set and will be great for those who hold sentimental value. I also don't see a kid preferring this vs an xbox, playstation, or Nintendo console.

Atari was the first video game I ever played.... it was connect to a black & white TV, no less....

I'm going to save the $399 and put it away for when I can buy an actual time machine to go back to 1980.(the start of my favorite decade) Frown

Retro arcade games are fine but I have no interest in playing 2600 games, especially not for $400. If they had marketed this as a Jaguar mini with a large library of Jaguar cart and CD-ROM games and made the price more reasonable I might be interested since I had missed out on the Jaguar back in the day (and 3DO mini anyone?). But the value with this VCS 800 just ain't there - you can get a large library of licensed arcade games with a NEO GEO mini, Super Retro-cade, and pre-order the new Taito Egret II mini and you'll still come out ahead

You guys get this is a gaming pc and not a retro/emulator machine... Right? I mean, lower to middle specs but it can run windows/linux.

Specs of VCS 800 vs Xbox S vs PS5:

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...-gpu.c3654

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...-gpu.c3683

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...-gpu.c3480

The Xbox S with a controller at time of me writing this was $410 on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-S/dp/B08G9J44ZN/

Add another controller priced on Amazon at time of writing was $59 and you have $469:
https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wirel...0859XT328/

The Atari all-in bundle is $399.99 at time of writing which comes with two controllers (or you could get the onyx base system with two $60 Xbox-like VCS controllers) and 100 games included in Atari Vault, a $9.99 value, basically: https://store.steampowered.com/ap...ari_Vault/

The Atari VCS is also a computer. Just add a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

If your goal is to play nearly every Atari 2600 game ever made, you'll be able to. You can run a whole lot of other games, too. It's a PC.
