kain_kusanagi Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Awwwwwwwwwwwww Q: I live close enough to come pick the item up in person. What would you sell it for if I could come get it and pay cash? Aug-17-10 A: Hello and thank you for your inquiry. This auction is being held as a way to help promote the sale of this cart on Atariage.com, so ending the auction early would defeat that purpose. To answer your question, I will offer local pickup which will save you the extra $5 on shipping. For those not bidding, please go to Atariage.com and sign up on the waiting list for a brand new version of the game. Thanks again! How nice of him to to promote AA while selling a $20 game for the highest profit possible. Selling it at a Buy It Now price of $20 would have been just too short of a promotion period. I wonder if the person who wins his auction will end up being the person who would have bought that very same game from AA had he not purchased it for resale. Oh well, at least he was polite in response to someone.

From the moral point of view shadowdoggie made the mistake to advertise his auction here and calling you a newb. But that picking on him aren´t pleasing manners as well............... 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/167142-halo-2600-pre-order/page/9/#findComment-2074899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, does anyone know how many of the Gray Label carts will be made? I hear there were 130 of the Black Label carts made, but I'd like to know the total of Gray Labels there will be just because I like to keep track of the rarity of my collectibles.

Rev. Rob Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) So... when can I order? Send me an email to sales@atariage.com and I'll add you to the waiting list. I did send emails to over half the people on the waiting list last week, although not everyone responded that they wanted a cart. Next week I'll be able to offer more up for sale. ..Al Okay, I did that a few weeks ago, I guess I just wasn't on the first round. I'll wait my turn on the list. Can I prepay?

kain_kusanagi Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Halo 2600 is not a collectible, it's a game, released in 2010. It's both. As a 30 year old gamer and die hard Halo fan I have a huge amount of nostalgia for Atari and a love for Halo. To me, Halo 2600 is a great game that I enjoy playing AND it is a fascinating piece in both my Atari collection and Halo collection. A person can be a gamer and a collector. Halo 2600 can be both a collector's piece as well as a game released in 2010. These things are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps "collectible" was the wrong word to use, but I assure you I'm not the only one that was just as excited to add Halo 2600 to my collection as I was to play it in my heavy sixer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/167142-halo-2600-pre-order/page/9/#findComment-2075136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffleman Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 At this time I am no longer taking payments for Halo 2600. However, send an email to sales@atariage.com and I will add you to the waiting list and will email you as carts become available, in the order I receive requests. Some additional information: If you'd like a copy of Halo 2600 in cartridge form, I am going to make some number available to forum members who weren't able to attend CGE. This new batch of cartridges will have a different label in order to differentiate them from the carts sold at CGE. My plan is to ship any carts that are paid for by the end of the weekend sometime next week. You will receive tracking information (for Priority Mail) once your package has shipped. A PAL version is presently being worked on. Once it's completed, I'll update this thread. If you're in Europe or Australia (or other PAL regions) and want a PAL version, please hold off on sending a payment until it's ready. ..Al how do you send a payment when it becomes availible?

Got out the old Atari and plugged in the cart and it works great. So much fun and thanks to Ed Fries for dreaming up this little gem of a game.
