timdu Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I was on the Toys R Us website this morning and I noticed that they have the Atari Flashback 7 for pre-order... Oct.1 is the ship date. $44.99 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=95653706&cp=&parentPage=search Will you get one? I may wait until Black Friday for possible deals... -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoessi666 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Here in Germany the Flashback (except for the first one) are hard to get and if, then very expensive! But even if they come across the Ocean in good Numbers and a reasonable Price I probably wouldn't buy one, because there's no SD-Card-Slot in it. I was hoping for such a Model, but am quite disappointed now. The ATGames-Handhelds have SD-Card-Slots, why not the Consoles for the TV? Can't be a Copyright-Issue, 'cause then the Handhelds wouldn't have a Slot either, would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokovec69 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) No SD card slot on the console? I guess I'll have to get the portable! Edited September 10, 2016 by Kokovec69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Doesn't seem to be too much different than the prior Flashbacks. Just more like a continued run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I noticed it says 'Features absolute konami titles' (sic) I know Frogger was made by Konami, but are there other Konami titles on there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I noticed it says 'Features absolute konami titles' (sic) I know Frogger was made by Konami, but are there other Konami titles on there too? Not this time. Only Frogger: http://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2016/09/13/atari-flashback-7-2016-official-game-list/ Some retailers are going off old info. With that said, AtGames should be working with Konami on a more in-depth basis going forward, so there's quite a bit to look forward to, and not only as it relates to their Atari 2600 stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJ Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Just noticed on the Target listing under [item Details]... http://www.target.com/p/atari-flashback-7-classic-game-console/-/A-51236334?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Video%2BGames%2BShopping&adgroup=SC_Video%2BGames&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9007925&gclid=CJWV4IzIlM8CFYJbhgodcl0DtA&gclsrc=aw.ds "...Data Storage Capacity: 512MB Hard Drive Capacity..."

S1500 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 S-Video would be fitting for something on Atari. It's ahead, yet behind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 512MB would hold a LOT of Atari VCS games! Especially considering my Harmony cart has a 128 MB card with the entire library of retail, hacks, and homebrew, and still has about 90 MB to spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 These were at our local Staples yesterday on an end cap along with the Genesis plug n play. $59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It seems to be trickling out. Target shows the Atari Flashback 7 as available tomorrow with overnight shipping, but not yet available in stores. http://www.target.com/p/atari-flashback-7-classic-game-console/-/A-51236334 The portable looks to have been pushed back until November 8, at least according to the Gamestop preorder page. http://www.gamestop.com/electronics/atari-flashback-portable-ultimate-classic-portable-player/133612 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Just got confirmation that Staples did indeed release inventory ahead of the October 1 release date, so it's official, although not necessarily ideal. I'm checking on the portables as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my non beer holding hand. It's looking like there are no deluxe versions. Also, the portables are still on track for November, not October like the consoles (broken street date or not).

Bill Loguidice Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 To update the update, the Atari Flashback 7, Sega Classic Console, and Sega portable should all be out on or before October 1. The Atari Flashback Portable will not be until some time in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 I too saw the the Atari Flashback 7 & Sega Classic Console on an endcap display at my local STAPLES store this weekend. Each one is wrapped with one of those anti-theft devices around the box so no one walks off with it out of the store. $59 each. Yikes! I refuse to pay that much $ for it. I will patiently wait until these are on clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
