Sears video arcade 2 value & specs

Is this any different than a normal 2600?

 

Thanks,

Controller ports up front, a power indicator(LED) are improvements IMO. But it functions the same aside from the different power supply. I value them between $30 and $50. The market may say otherwise on any given day of course. I really like this model.

Besides everything Cobra Commander has mentioned, another difference is the controller that came with the Video Arcade II. It is a joystick/paddle hybrid, and you can toggle between the two by pressing the joystick or paddle buttons on the system itself. There are four controller ports on the system so that up to 4 2800/Video Arcade II controllers can be used in paddle mode. However, any standard 2600 controllers (joystick, paddle, driving, trackball) will work just fine. I've had mine since May and it's now my go-to 2600 unit.
