ColecoGemini Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hey were can I buy one of these? First: You need a time machine back to 2010 to get on the pre-order list before it was closed. Second: You need to take the time machine back to 2024 for it to be released. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that they can all F*&k off. I have to agree Ben, I did not pre-order this. I have some very strong opinions on it, but, it is really none of my business as I am not one of those who put up the money. Those who have nothing to do with it(no money invested) should really stay out of it! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 7800 XM a lot, and its true that I did not make any investments in it. Fine. I'll stop with this thread so nobody else who is a pre-order person gets flustered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

108 Stars Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Guys, stop arguing over that crap. Yeah, if you didn't preorder it's easy to call for patience. Luckily I did not, but I absolutely understand the frustration, see my recent posts. I just hope this all comes to a positive end, and all joking aside I do not believe the XM delays and lack of information are intentional or anything. I think it is just the case of a too ambitious project on Curt Vendel's part, regarding costs and time estimation. And a really unfortunate idea of how customer communication works. People must vent their frustration sometimes, but hopefully when the XM actually does arrive at homes everyone will be happy and the hatchets are buried. Curt Vendel must learn how to better keep people updated, and fans must probably learn to be a bit more sceptical when paying so much money up-front for such an ambitious product. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just this. I pre-ordered 2 of the 2600 to USB joysticks. Was one of the last to get them, very late, and passed over by late orders. Same thing with the book - pre-ordered it, waiting months, and people who ordered it the day it went on sale had it before me. SIGH. Oh well. The last 2 items eventually showed up, I know this will eventually show up, but I'll never do business with those folks again, at least never never never on a pre-order basis. Three times burned, the fool is I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's unfortunate. I remember a friend of mine in another from had problems with the book too, pre-ordered his directly via website, but the people who just ordered when it went on sale on Amazon got it long before him. Freaks who are knowledgeable in their hobby (like Curt is for everything Atari) aren't necessarily also very good businessmen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This is why I avoid preordering homebrew hardware products. I usually wait for the second or later runs. Granted if everybody did that, they wouldn't get made. I'm someone who would be going berserk with the delay, so I knew I shouldn't pre-order! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 My account is NOT 3 seconds old! It was created in late May. That is not 3 seconds old. The fact that you even argued back on this point leads you over towards the troll camp dude. Late May 2014 is seriously new compared to most of us and anyone actually trying to participate constructively would understand he was pointing this out to you. Sarcastically pointing it out perhaps, but then the tone of your posts earns you this kind of response in the first place. I'm not going to bother feeding you with further responses btw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think it would be best if everyone forgot about the XM for a while and started discussing whether Armor All is or isn't the best thing to use on Atari consoles: atariage.com/forums/topic/39728-how-do-you-clean-your-atari/?p=473305 Too bad that thread is locked. It deserves a good necro bump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I use Pledge furniture polish on everything, even the glass on my CRTs. The more times you wipe something down with it, the more it starts the shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
