Thanks for clarifying, Al!

7800 controllers work fine in the 2600+.

I think what Giles was getting at is if they're fully compatible, meaning that both buttons will function differently.

Ok.
I misread and didn't realize insertclevernamehere was talking about controllers, so if they don't cost over $35, shipping isn't free, though amazon.com would charge import fees that would bump up the price, so there's that.

Why not use Amazon.com? The shipping/post cannot be that much higher in price?
Shipping is free at amazon.ca, so it's quite a bit higher in price.

The early popularity of the 2600+ opens the door to making more controller types. I can't promise anything, but the desire is there.
I certainly hope so. You can't play two button 7800 games with the joystick supplied with the system. I'm sure original 7800 controllers are compatible but it would be nice to have brand new and affordable controllers, especially the d-pad controllers, which are quite expensive.

@TrogdarRobusto Will Atari make new Atari 7800 joystick and d-pad controllers as well? Those controllers had two buttons for 7800 games and neither are included with the Atari 2600+.

What country? I can find out if distribution is planned for that market ... at least near term.
My country is listed but the payment method I normally use isn't accepted there. I'll just bide my time until there's another option or see if someone I know will order it for me. Thanks anyway!

It appears they added more countries since I replied to Tickled_Pink but unfortunately, still none for my country and payment method. Hopefully, it will become available at AtariAge or StoneAgeGamer.

The Atari site does list worldwide retailers. I don't know where you live but Amazon are the official retailer in the UK. I was surprised at the price. Not been a big fan of retro consoles as they've either been expensive or haven't done anything I can't do on my softmodded PSP. But at under £100, it's probably cheaper than getting a HDMI upscaler that can take an RF input. So, it's definitely tempting.
Yes, I'm aware they now have a list of retailers but the only one from the US which ships here doesn't accept my payment method.

Will the Atari 2600+ be available at the AtariAge store? I don't reside in the US, so I can't place an order at their site.

No.
Excellent! I know you're overwhelmed with all of the orders from the last chance sale, so I appreciate the quick reply. I messaged you a couple questions about the custom games, one of which was adding them to my order from the last chance sale. I hope you see them in time. Congratulations on the agreement and becoming a full-time employee at Atari. I know this is a big deal for you.
-
Will this affect the custom games I paid for recently?
-
@AlbertHi, would you please check your messages? I have a question about the custom cartridges we spoke about. Thanks!

Hey, Al! I sent you a PM a couple days ago about making one more addition to my order. Would you please let me know if this is ok?
@AlbertJust in case you missed my reply.

If it doesn't work for you, please send me a PM directly and I can help you out (and we can do an order manually if need be).

I'm out of town until next week, I will find a block of time soon to respond to emails and PMs.

I understand. No problem, thanks!

@Albert Would you please check the message I just sent regarding my order?
-
@Albert Would you please send me a PayPal invoice for Space Invaders for Atari 7800 NTSC with Box Upgrade? I forgot to add it to my order. Also, do you still have any copies of Turbo or is it already sold out?
Thanks! -

If you do not plan to replace the HOKEY chip, there is an argument there for saving a little money and getting it soldered on.
CEMs aren't what I would call add-ons, though, as some can also act as independent devices in themselves, and you can certainly order a CEM later. If you wait and order together you might save a little money on shipping but in the USA this is only going to amount to a few dollars.
I don't have the know-how for replacing the chip, so perhaps I should just get it soldered on. I live in Canada, so it would be much better to order them together. Thanks for the reply!
-
Which is better for someone like me who just wants to plug it in and play? The basic version, soldered on or the basic version, socketed for $15.00? Are the CEMs add-ons to the Concerto? I'm wondering if I should wait to place an order for a Concerto.

To be clear, is this the same game as Bomb'n Blast, aside from fixing the game and additional levels?
-
How do I get a hold of this bootleg of the game? It seems to be very close to the real thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up3ZqUoO-sk

Both released versions are VERY big. I got the 2 controller port version at a very decent price but if this version was released, I'd have bought it instead.
