high voltage Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I never knew that, is there some reason behind this? Maybe the bigger sized is from Atari Inc. and the shorter version from Atari Corp? Anyone's got any ideas about this?

31336haxx0r Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That shorter system probably comes with the VCS-on-a-chip circuitry inside! I can see the white cartridge slot in there. Can you open it and take photos from its innards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31336haxx0r Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I want that thing then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 So the white one is rarer or worth more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31336haxx0r Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd say both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I can't tell that they are different sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think it's an optical illusion. The slightly different angles the systems are displayed at kind of play tricks on your eyes. Besides, it doesn't make sense that Atari Corp., known for cost-cutting when it came to game systems, would manufacture an entirely new case that was only barely-different-yet-different-enough from the old one it was already producing in healthy (and cheap) quantities. What's interesting here is the possibility of an AOC console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31336haxx0r Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are somewhat different. The shorter thingy seems like it doesn't have the cooling vents above the cart slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I can see the cooling vents. Yeah, they're there. They're just not well-lit at that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yeah, they're there. They're just not well-lit at that angle. It's not just the angle. The well-lit vents are in the center of the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If it is currently on eBay, you might be able to get the seller to post more pictures. The underside label might be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
