I'm not advocating buying this, but are you people all stating the "Collector's Edition" price as the price of the Atari VCS? The Atari VCS Day One Collector’s Edition is $299 USD, The Atari VCS Onyx is priced at $199 USD |
But you need a controller to play games, don't you? Every other console also includes at least one controller. Even with the cheaper one (which will do shit in most other games besides the 2600-classics) you are at $229 plus shipping ($19 - $35 depending on the country)... that's already $248 - $264. Plus taxes / customs (f.e. 19% in Germany).
If you want the console with the modern controller (for games with more than one button) but without the classic controller you are at $248 plus shipping ($19 - $35 depending on the country)... that's already $267 - $283. Plus taxes / customs (f.e. 19% in Germany)
Germany Onyx + joystick = $229 + $25 shipping + $48.26 (19% taxes) = $302.26
Germany Onyx + modern controller = $248 + $25 shipping + $51.87 (19% taxes) = $324.87
And these are "early bird prices" if you pay a year in advance and take the whole risk getting nothing. Also no warranty on the device.
After that they want $279 for the joystick bundle + shipping + taxes.
