[QUOTE="contezero, post: 8836042, member: 396470"] The "old" Atari doesn't exist anymore. It went thru multiple fusion/merging/splitting/bankruptcy. The actual Atari went back in business in 2014 with the idea of capitalizing on online gambling and their old IPs. They do not seems to have a clear business direction and that, somehow, confirm what was written by Theregister: they are clueless :rofl2:. They need to: finish the debugging of prototype, build the preproduction samples, do all the certifications, source the components, create packaging, finalize (or create) the AtariOS/Launcher, build the actual stuff, send to US, pass customs. It's a lot of stuff to do in less than 5 month because there is also the Chinese New Year holiday mid-February (everything stops for 15 days). It would be very difficult even if they had a product ready (and they don't) and put a lot of money in the process (and they can't). They already moved the delivery date twice. You can preorder at Walmart with delivery on 2nd of April (because on 1st of April was too obvious) :rofl:. They will probably have to postpone the date again; It will be really ugly but, a that point, everyone will be hyped for the new Xbox and PS5 so nobody will notice. :wink: The shell looks very nice, they probably spent all the money on it. The specs are interesting, with the right price could have been a Raspberry killer for emulation. Unfortunately the right price is half of their sale price ($390 with 8gb ram and two controllers). Also: if you do not have money to pay people...where are you going to find money to buy components and build the actual stuff? True,but I really hope they will be able to deliver something, for the backers (I am not one of them but the new VCS is in my list of console to buy as soon as they slash 90% of the price:lol:) [/QUOTE]
