One of the reasons I will actually miss Gamestop
Got yet another awesome deal on some Wii games at GameStop today! This time I picked up a copy of Dead Space: Extraction for $2.99 (it normally sells for $15+ on eBay) along with Wii Play for $0.99 and WordJong Party, which is basically a mashup of Mahjong and Scrabble with furries, for $2.99. Not too bad for $7 altogether!

Yes, and unless I'm missing something all we know about the ataribox is what it and it's controllers might look like. I remember hearing some tech specs that most YouTube videos I watched were unimpressed with but I don't recall any details on what media it would use or an actual release date.
... and as someone pointed out earlier in this thread, "Atari" should study that page carefully, because it's a perfect example of how to do new Atari hardware development right. Brad has shared more details about the creation of a power supply on that page than "Atari" has ever shared about their plans for "that Ataribox?".

I want it to be something cool. However I have a 2600jr and a Sears Video Arcade 2 that work fine and a 7800 that needs a new power cord. It would have to be really nice to justify me paying 300 dollars to play 2600 games.

So lucky
Found empty random boxes at moving sale 3 blocks from me. Saw the Wii box under a table. Then, grabbed the N64 box from under another table. Gal looked at me funny for asking "how much for the empty boxes?". Got them both for $3!

2600: Only competitor I played was Intellivision. Loved Snafu and Burger Time as a kid. Overall I wouldn't pick it over the 2600.
5200: As far as I know Colecovision and the 5200 are the only consoles I know of in what I like to call Gen 2.5. I have never played a 5200 but the Colecovision was my first console, my dad brought one home with about a dozen games poat crash and I not only loved it but it was sturdy enough to survive my 4 year old destructive tendencies. We had it up until I got an Nes probably in 2nd or 3rd grade.
7800: I've never played a Master system, I still play NES occasionally and I picked up a 7800 last year and it went on the fritz almost immediately. I had the power buttons replaced and then discovered the ax adaptor is going out and it's been in the closet since although I finally found a few sources for adaptors other than $50 30 year old ones on eBay. Overall I have to give the nod to the NES for 3rd Gen although there is room to sway me of the 7800 homebrew market is as awesome as advertised.

Box is a little toasty but unit was all their including space invaders. No inserts or manuals though. Seemed too good to pass on.

Do we have a rough timeframe for the release date of this system?

What the heck is that thing?
I have one of these made by Atariguy(four numbers I can't remember) modded for the Colecovision that is really great. Sounds like an unmodded one may work on the new CollectorVision

For someone jumping in today without any electronic skills, would you buy a console and get it modded and repaired, buy an already modded console or wait for one the clones that are possibly going to be on the market next year. I have yet to see one in the wild and haven't had any luck on Facebook or Craigslist either. I'm seeing 75-125 for a working unit plus 25-50 shipping on eBay unless it is boxed or has a ton of games. I've seen modded systems in the 250-300 range and haven't heard a price on the clones yet.

Do you still have the colecovisions

Been looking for a coleco for quite a while.

There is a compatible console on the way? Do tell.

Wonder what the catch is, my guess is they either don't take paypal or they count on you not being willing to take the trouble to file a claim. Or maybe they just ship a piece of junk knowing it would cost way more than $25 to ship it back and get a refund.

What could possibly go wrong? Got to be hundreds of Colecovision's laying in Chinese closets people are willing to ship across the globe for nothing.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/292261110067
0 feedback seller , free shipping for a 10 pound package across the globe, seems legit.

Do you currently have systems for sale?Congratulations on servicing over 500 Colecovision Systems. I had mine serviced with an A/V mod in 2010 plus the straightened cords on the controllers and everything is still going strong in 2017!
Best decision I ever made was to have the entire system cleaned and modded. I only added a Canadian power supply a couple of years ago, and everything is still running great.
Thanks for keeping these systems out of the graveyard!

I thought I saw a sticky on here a while back of a guy that was selling modded consoles and controllers as well as doing mods and repairs. I can't seem to find it now, is he still around?

Yeah I saw it doubled but I didn't see a way to edit or delete it. Is this a compatibility issue with Atari age and tapatalk?I say it one more time, please stop using Tapatalk to start topics on AtariAge. Thanks.

Ok, so I hit a lot of flea markets, thrift stores and retro game shops and have noticed I have yet to see a Colecovision. I had one as a kid and nobody thought it was weird and unheard of at the time and a lot of people still remember them. A few of the shops I've been in said they only see one every 5-10 years at best. I'm in a small city in the tri state area of Ohio, Ky, WV so I'm not horribly surprised they aren't here but I spent a day hitting shops in Columbus last month and nobody had seen one in a long time. I've noticed there aren't a lot on eBay either and the complete ones are going north of 100 after shipping usually. So I guess the real question is how often are you guys seeing these and what are you paying for them? I'm honestly not sure I want to spend ps4 money on a 35 year old system that will almost immediately need new or refurbished controllers and a hard to find power supply.

Je= 2600 jr sorry.Yes , local game store, honestly not sure where i picked that up. I had not seen one in my town but I know I can pick one up in Columbus which is about 2 hours from me and I'm thinking the shop up there wanted 50 or 60 dollars for tested ones. Maybe if they set another couple years I can pick them both up for 15 or 20. I just wanted the 2600 to mod since I already have a 7800 and a je.

Bought an N64 about 2 years ago to get Ocarina of Time. Btw is it my local area or are all N64 games either $2 sports games or $50 1st party titles?
