Local Radio Station giving a 2600?

[Cassidy Nolen]

You will not believe this, but...

 

The local rock station, DC101 is giving away a GameCube, X-Box, etc for the holidays. The grand prize is what blew me away:

 

Some ungodly big plazma screen TV, and of all things, a 2600! I thought I heard it wrong, but then I heard the ad again. Wild how things come back around. I bet its been 20+ years since a radio station gave one away, and now they bundle it with a 5000 dollar TV. Neat.

Cool! I wish someone would give away a 2600 away on Chicago radio.

I wonder if that $5000 TV even has an antenna input for the 2600

Whoever gets the 2600 could always modify it to support an A/V Connection.

 

I wouldn't...if the 2600 was in top-notch shape.

I would bet that nobody promoting the contest has even thought about how to hook a VCS to that TV. Look how many newbie questions about this the AA forums get.

[King Atari]

I'd give that contest a shot!

[mark]

could a 2600 damage a plasma big screen?

I thought the 2600 was designed to not damage TV's with the built in color cycle. Still what a great idea for a contest. Atari is truely "hip"

And I thought it was cool just to hear the 2600 mentioned on 97.5 WONE, the local rock station here.
