    $399 for the all in one could be the sweet spot for many to pull the trigger.

    There's something about the Atari logo that has a massive soft spot in my heart.

      Yes Tempting. I bought 2 Atari shirts from Kmart last year for $10 each.

        Relax, Mr. Moneybags.

      • That's ok, I bought all the rest of them.

    You'd have to be particularly enamored with the ATARI brand name to buy this miniPC. I did think about buying one when it got released but $799 for Kickstarter release was off putting.

    Full bundle is the same price as the Xbox Series S console (which comes with a controller of it's own, worth about $90 by itself, plus built in 500GB of SSD storage).

    It's not a Mini PC and you can't run your own OS on it, but it's a beast at emulation nonetheless when you enable Developer Mode, benefits greatly from Xbox Game Pass and it has a Chromium browser built in.

    • If you're spending that much for emulation just go build a MiSTer

        Different pros and cons.

        Mister can do extremely accurate in hardware recreation of the original systems up to 16 bit consoles and very soon PlayStation 1 and Saturn. That’s likely the limit that it will be able to do though. It can also simulate in hardware a ton of old PCs and arcade systems again with near perfect accuracy. With the analog IO board, t can also output to CRT TVs just like the original systems did. On HDMI it still looks bloody good though. It’s a very cool piece of kit if you like tinkering. You’ll probably know if this is something you’d want just by reading a bit about it.

        Series S/X can emulate up to PS2. Less accurately than the mister though. Some people will notice that: many won’t. The selection of emulated systems is also mostly the popular consoles (ie most of what most people will want to play). It can also play Xbox games of course and has access to Gamepass with a subscription.

        Depends what you want to do.

    • MS are removing developer mode for those who aren't actively publishing on the MS store, something for people to consider.

    I want this for some stupid reason, but even at $500 I still cant pull the trigger :(

    I'm tempted to bite if the all in one bundle drops $100 more. It would be just a nice tech toy.
    Already have a PS5, Xbox Series X and RTX 3090 gaming PC so i need it to be at a cheap enough price to jump.

    i want to like it..

    sigh

  • Will this ever have its own games ?

  • My last console mistake was the atari jaguar. I traded it for a neeogeo cd then the other called me begging for the new Geo back

    • did you give it back?

  • +1

    I owned one (Founders Edition from Kickstarter) it was an unadulterated mess, so I sold it … I doubt it is much better now.

  • +2

    I've always been fascinated by this - but know that I'll never use it really!

    Like others, my trigger point is the all in one for $399.

  • Loved the old days playing Combat against my cousin. Last Atari product I rated was the Lynx. This on the other hand has as much credibility as a Commodore 64 rice cooker.
