funcool Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I was part of the Collectorvision Phoenix Early Access. I am delighted with my purchase. It was well worth the wait in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 It could be worst. Imagine putting money down on the 7800 XM more than ten years ago with nothing to show for it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 If you're part of the first batch, then your Phoenix is probably in this picture It's coming! 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just to confirm though, they won't start shipping until the end of the month correct? It works out better for me if it's not until at least the 25th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E.R.O. Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 With the Atari VCS turning out to be a bust I'm sure many are happy the Phoenix is close to completion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for you it is not that ones, if you look closer, you will see that for the second the 4th pin of the FPGA is unsoldered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithbk Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Just a thought, but what if a controller was developed like the original, but had a screw-off Joystick cap/shaft that could be replaced with a different handle for people who want something taller with a ball on top (like an arcade joystick)? That way, aftermarket pieces would be a possibility.... I know the unit does not come with a controller, but I assume that will be something in the future and just an idea Edited October 10, 2019 by keithbk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
