Atari VCS without controllers, now available for preorder, for a total of $ 199 plus shipping costs

You can finally reserve the Atari VCS, which will be sold without controllers for $ 199 plus shipping, with a joystick for $ 229 plus shipping and only the remote will be sold for $ 48 plus shipping.

It was one of the biggest unknowns so far, when the Atari VCS would start to be sold and in the end, what would its price be. The console will be sold for $ 199 plus shipping and the highlight is that the remote is not included in the price. If we want the console plus the classic joystick, it sells for $ 299 plus shipping. There is no console pack plus Gamepad, so this must be purchased for $ 49 plus shipping. So the joke will cost us between $ 229 and $ 250, plus shipping and taxes.

The Atari VCS is back, with very unattractive prices.

It is not the only downside of the console and it is that it came with a Bristol Ridge A10 APU, an APU based on the Excavator architecture, extremely outdated. The processor is accompanied by Radeon R7 graphics, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of flash storage. Regarding connectivity, it will carry 802.11ac WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth 5.0, four USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI 2.0. The operating system will be Ubuntu. The truth, little or nothing interesting the console.

Inspired by the iconic silhouette of the original Atari 2600, the new Atari VCS has already generated considerable excitement within the gaming community. Its deft blend of modern lines and reverential details, combined with contemporary content technology and new innovation, has drawn positive reactions from Atari fans, new and old. The Atari VCS, of course, will serve up a lot of classic content, but it is much more than a "retro-box". It's a brand new connected device from Atari designed for today's classrooms.

The new Atari VCS logo, like the new hardware itself, combines the past and the present, and is inspired by Atari's rich history of progressive graphic design. Countless highly memorable logos, illustrations, advertisements and packages were generated by Atari's legendary industrial design and graphics department during the 70s and 80s. '
