Albert! Any chance for a front page New Post please ??? Thank you! Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstone Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Just one question...in the preorder, do I have to pay the shipping cost as well or just the XM? Thanks Edited September 22, 2010 by pinkstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Is the quantity listed in stock the only ones that will be made? It would be best for me to wait until the next pay period before making a deposit, but I don't want this to be another cuttle cart 2 where it is impossible to get it without a lot of extra expense.

JonnyBritish Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yay mine is ordered!! Nows just waiting for my 7800 to arrive from Best this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Just one question...in the preorder, do I have to pay the shipping cost as well or just the XM? Thanks Biscuits and shipping are extra and are figured into the total cost at check-out- roughly about 10 to 25 USD more added to the total, depending on shipping option speed. Since it's a few months from now, a few extra days probably wont hurt most people, but the high-speed delivery options are there for the anxious. There should be a half-down option, soon , for those who are more price-sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Since it's a few months from now, a few extra days probably wont hurt most people, but the high-speed delivery options are there for the anxious. The degree of anxiousness will vary (for me at least), depending on what I can do with it when it arrives! Right now, there isn't anything to plug into it ... ... so far ...

JonnyB, when you get your system, can you post pics and stuff? I'm curious to see what you get! As always Best Electronics delivers the best!!!. Box arrived yesterday but I opened this morning prior to racing to work. I will take a pic and post tonight but rest assured these do not look like refurb. the only thing that is missing is the original Atari box!!!. Really the unit looks like new and is sealed in plastic with a new manual, new controller, new power supply etc Will post pic later - I am very impressed..refurb from Best is more like buying a new unit complete with a sealed box of pole position two.. In preparation for the 7800 expansion I broke open my piggy bank and bought refurb 7800 from Best with the euro game pad upgrade+clear plastic cover Galaga 7800 Food Fight 7800 Pole Position 7800 From Atariage I bought Beef Drop B*nQ Thrust (2600) Seawolf(2600) Again as a new buyer from Atariage I am really pleased with the quality of the carts, labels and manuals - awesome!! There will be some major 7800 gaming in my house over the weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Paid for mine! I am so glad I picked up that $5 7800 (with expansion port) many years ago while attending Philly Classic 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightbit Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Can you tell me if that 7800 has the expansion port on the side? BTW I agree, BEST is really the Best Ordered from them many times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lendorien Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 We really need to get Albert to post this on the front page of AtariAge. Maybe someone should PM him. I'll try to order my expansion in a week or two. Money is tight atm, so I have to wait til the next paycheck. Definitely want one tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Three so far, today, after a not-so-great yesterday. It comes in dribs and drabs. How long until the next payment on the shell must be made? Edited September 24, 2010 by AtariNerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC-MAN PRIME Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 We really need to get Albert to post this on the front page of AtariAge. Maybe someone should PM him. I was just thinking this as well. "Why isn't the 7800XM info posted on the AA home page?" This should be a top headline, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking this as well. "Why isn't the 7800XM info posted on the AA home page?" This should be a top headline, no doubt. Probably should word a sample statement in a more general language, suitable for a front-page announcement (not everyone is in the know) reiterating some of the basic features, prices and the preorder page links and mail it to Albert. Makes it easier on him as he doesn't have to mind-read or mire through various threads and figure out what everyone wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Oberhäuser Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Is the 50% off one sold out? 50% off? You mean the 50% downpayment, I guess. It's the second product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
