New Atari Console that Ataribox?

[TheVgaTv]

So now they are saying that the "collectors edition" is going to be numbered 1-6000, which is why they are special. But did they sell 6,000 of the "collectors" editions? And if they didn't, what are they going to do with the rest of them since they claimed you could only purchase it during the first week of the campaign?

[Osgeld]

they just wont stamp 6000

 

its not like they have a stack of them made already numbered or anything

 

and if they do actually manage to bring this thing out they will just have some one at the end of the "line" slapping a sticker on it

Wondering how much "shipping" is going to be...

A shipped "all-in" Tribute has to be $400+, which is hilarious.

[PlaysWithWolves]

The first "all in" Tribute went for $406, so $27 shipping--presuming that's a USA address.

Total Collector woodys sold I estimated at 5618, according to numbers before they pulled them down. Should be fairly close, and of course doesn't account for cancellations.

 

How much lying can these guys get away with? Apparently a lot.

[Matt_B]

Presumably, every VCS made will be a special edition of some sort.

Warning:SPOILERS!

I think that's true. I was curious what shipping to my ZIP code would be, but it looks like you have to enter full shipping address and payment information to see it, which is not something I'm willing to do.

Imagine if Atari SA sold tacos! It would be like buying a taco and them not telling you what's inside the shell.

 

The catch would be that they don't have the money for meat, so they would use poo instead.

[JBerel]

Sooo, Taco Bell?

[Atari PAC-MAN Fan]

Sooo, Taco Bell?

 

Essentially. Only worse because they're using a beloved name (Atari) to appear innocent.

[+frankodragon]

It'll be all sad times.

Jeepers! They're so persecuted. Have you ever seen such whining in a fundraising campaign?

[x=usr(1536)]

So, when if it doesn't happen, does that mean it's our fault for being Debbie-downer, negative-Nancy, party poopers?

 

Because if it does, that's some damned impressive capability on our behalf.

Yes I have. Simple as that.

[+frankodragon]

I'm guessing "whining" is extra if they want the "tribute" edition.

[Osgeld]

mad respect in my mind is something that happens when two equals are facing off and one is about to die

 

like rocky vs ivan, or hitler vs vader

 

last thing I would want is a bunch of MAD respect in a crowd of strangers in the interwebs

 

splitting hairs, dont really um ... cares

Haha... I don't understand why there is always so much drama on the Atari boards.

I'm told it's a sex thing.

[82-T/A]

 

I'm told it's a sex thing.

 

I knew it... there's another group of discussion boards on here I don't have access to, isn't there?

[AlecRob]

Actually more likely its a LACK of sex thing causing the tension

[VladR]

ROFLMFAO, you somehow inexplicably managed to beat the Atari's absurd posts of today

 

What are you ? 20-30 years old ?

 

Given the predominantly (and/or soon-to-be) geriatric age group of these boards, if anything, lack of sex actually removes the tension, because by definition, you are not exposed to the de iure bullshit usually associated with interacting with the opposite sex (excluding the "temporarily silent household" scenario, of course).

Actually, that response is beautifully poetic !

 

Reminds me of the '70s and the Flower Generation

 

Highly likely, the guy was just high, though...

[VladR]

Can somebody please make a GIF on the sick dichotomy of Atari & respect (used in same sentence).

 

Thanks!

Remember the Postal museum's warning signs of fraud that Flojomojo posted?

Emphasis, mine:

 

Warning Signs:

- Sounds too good to be true.

- Pressures you to act "right away."

- Guarantees success.

- Promises unusually high returns.

- Requires an upfront investment -- even for a "free prize."

- Buyers want to overpay you for an item and have you send them the difference.

- Doesn't have the look of a real business.

- Something just doesn't feel right.
