Deal Details
Found the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro for deep discount at my Costco for ~$30 in the Atlanta Metro yesterday evening. Reviews are mixed, but for the price you can load a ton of ROMs on this thing with a SD card.

It was in the seasonal blow-out area with the remaining video games and some toys, very much YMMV.

Don't focus too much on the included games. With the SD card you can play a ton of games with many different pre-loaded emulators. The emulators are not advertised on the box. SNES, NES, Genesis, more Atari games, etc.. Get the firmware update. Joystick lag? Yes when wireless. Wire it or use a wired Xbox One controller. There are several videos explaining how to get this thing up and running very easily wihout requiring much tech know-how. The aforementioned GenXGrownUp on YouTube is a great place to start. I got one of these for $50 and couldn't be happier. No, it's not perfect, but it's a couple firmware updates away from being pretty close to perfect.
Why bother when much better options exist?

No, but it can play the GameBoy Advance version of GTA through emulation.

the NES classic is considered quite nice… And the PlayStation classic is also pretty good, and is very moddable (software mod) with lots of games all the way up to PS1 console … so, NES, SNES…MAME…ETC
Except that those are typically around $120 and this is $30 and this DOES NOT have to be modded to play the same games. How is something that needs more work and costs up to 4 times as much an alternative? No ti won't quite play PS1 games but that's not in the initial description anyway. It will play the other consoles you listed.

Seriously, those of you posting against this console has thus far not said anything truthful. No idea why anyone would be anti-Atari Gamestation Pro thing but that seems to be the case.

The Costcos near me usually put clearance items on the side wall on the non-food side of the store. They had piles of various stuff after Christmas around here.

Yeah there's a lot of weird hate for this thing. It's 30 bucks and out of the box, without modding, it emulates multiple systems to play thousands of games. And if they don't like the joystick it works with modern controllers.

Oh well. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Get the atari flashback 50th anniversary or the flashback 12 gold or even the flashback 8 Activision one. You can even use authentic vintage controllers with them. They have HDMI.

This also has HDMI. I'm not sure how anybody got the idea that this didn't.

Bad reviews. Summary - Bad joystick and poor choice of games.
How does it compare to the atari 2600 joystick?
