  1. Yes, it's too late to change the name. I agree that the name is not the best decision here, but we are stuck with it. The VCS 800 has been out for 3+ years and the name won't be changing. The decision for the name was made by the previous CEO and marketing department at Atari and was inherited by the current board. I consider all VCS owners lucky that the current CEO is investing as many resources as he is, in updating the firmware and the UX. I am personally thankful that he is.
  2. Unsubscribe? I personally like seeing the new merch in an email. I don't always go onto the Atari.com site so if something catches my eye, maybe I'll buy it. I wear a fair amount of gaming related t-shirts, and yes, I do also have a speaker hat (why, I'm not sure) so seeing the new stuff interests me. If you don't want to be notified, just unsubscribe, it's right there at the bottom of the email.
  3. Remember kids, when you necrobump, please use the correct meme in your post. I have supplied a few of them here for your review. Should you use one of these, you can send a donation to my game collection as a thank you.
  4. Oof. That is a very nice controller, but the price is a little steep for me right now. Perhaps in the future though...
  5. Bangin' sweet! I like this one. Where did you acquire it?
  6. That's awesome! I love the idea and I would buy one too. Make mine translucent green with the embedded glitter, packaged in a steelbox and I'm sooo on board.
  7. Recently purchased a game from Sir Guntz and the sale was very smooth. Tracking was provided, the item was very well packed and arrived in the condition described. Thank you @Sir Guntz I won't hesitate to purchase from you again!
  8. Sorry to hear. You should try contacting @davpa or Ashlee Scarcella on the VCS Discord server. They should get you sorted with a fix or a new one.
  9. Don't you have an Amico God to pray to or something? You only come in here to stir up shit, never offering any shred of credible assistance to anyone.
  10. Nah, they probably took the page down for maintenance or to change the description.
  11. Agreed. The VCS has been out for three years already and most people that wanted an SSD have already gotten one. I put a 500GB WD Blue in mine about a month after I got it. This is an accessory that should have come out simultaneously with the VCS. Although the USB thumb drive seems to sell like hotcakes and they can't seem to make them fast enough so...
  12. I did buy a repro BSG from ETSY a few years ago. It was advertised as such and was about $28. It came without a box but did have a box insert, manual, and cartridge, flocked in the aforementioned gray shell. It boots and plays great and that's all I wanted it to do. I wasn't about to spend $500+ on a real one. I collect stuff, but I'm frugal about it (says the guy that just bought an AES).
  13. Yeah, this is great, thanks Atari. I picked up Days of Doom. I have a good selection of games on my VCS but this is one I wanted and was just holding out on.
  14. I am in the same situation. I had placed two orders and only received one of them. I had assumed that they would have been grouped and shipped together, but with the amount of orders placed I realize this may have been false assumption on my part. I am sure Al is working on them as quickly as he can and will ship them as soon as they are ready. I think we also need to remember that Al is also an official Atari employee now and I'm sure he has many other responsibilities in addition to the AA store and website. I at least got Halo 2600 to tide me over for awhile.
