Atari VCS Console Finally Set To Release in Fall 2020 - console
(hx) 10:23 AM CEST - Jul,06 2020 - Post a comment / read (5)
The Atari VCS was first announced over two years ago in 2018 but has since suffered numerous delays. It looks like there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the Atari VCS 800 with the console now available for pre-order from Atari, GameStop, or Walmart. The console is only available as part of a bundle including the console itself, Wireless Classic Joystick, a Modern Controller, and free copy of Atari Vault of 100 classic arcade and console games. The bundle is priced at 389.99 USD and is expected to ship by the 2020 holiday season. The console features a custom AMD Raven Ridge APU with Vega 3 graphics, paired with 8 GB DDR4 ram, and 32 GB eMMC internal flash storage. The device runs a custom Linux OS but also supports Linux, Windows, Steam OS, or Chrome OS if booting from an external drive. Connectivity consists of 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0 while I/O includes a single HDMI 2.0 port, gigabit Ethernet port, and quad USB 3.1 connectors. A lower-powered Atari VCS 400 system is also planned with half the ram at 4 GB and is expected to sell for 249.99 USD.

Add 100 bucks and you have a PS5.
Not sure why would anyone buy this anymore - the name alone might be enough for small volume of hardcore fans, but they are mostly dead, or are of an age where they just don't care about video games anymore...
To everyone else an Atari is meaningless, especially with these specs (they were poor specs even two years ago) and price point.

As a huge fan of the original VCS, I am hoping the new VCS create something different in the gaming world. I am just not sure why it is priced at $389.99 :( it should cost ~ $149

What's the point when you can have all games on your PC? Heck even an android mini pc or phone can emulate them. And not only those. Myriads others from other systems as well.

This would probably make a great little HTPC or game streaming box plus old Atari controller ...I mean a retro feel....for veterans :P

But I agree it will be difficult to sell. Atari made some really poor decisions here. It‘s way too expensive and the launch date couldn’t have been worse. I wish them good luck but sadly I predict a major flop.
