justclaws Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Although I don't understand the fascination with unboxing videos, usually, this one did matter to me! I'd love to see some more views and feedback from people who received their units. This wasn't the first video to show the VCS, these were the first to show the much-loved, unboxing. They also show the first boot-up, and update. Obviously, he does not do unboxing videos as a YouTube thing. He just did this to share with backers. This isn't quite unboxing, but it's also from Legocar, and it follows on. ? Then first boot-up... Then the 2nd part shows it after update, and the first use of the menu etc.. Interesting! Since he got his machine several more games were added to the shop, but this was day#1. * I am not connected to the Atari company in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 This is the step after unboxing; actual use with some games and applications installed. Thanks so much to CranberryFo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Another unboxing video for people who like that sort of thing. This time for an Onyx. This one posted by "g00gl3it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm sorry, this is in Polish, but it's a very good unboxing and exploration video. I called it a review. It's not a review, it's a first play with the system, and TODAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Another unboxing from the USA with one hand. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Another happy owner with an unboxing video! I also think the new Darth Vader new VCS model is very cool, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think the recurring claim by some, that nobody has these now is starting to look like... difficult. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Over the last year(s) there were enough old guys on YouTube creating videos hating the VCS. Not everybody feels that way! Some people forgot how it is to be young, and excited again. ? I'm not too old to smile, and be optimistic. It's more fun. What we need is some youth and enthusiasm for the new Atari VCS, like my kids, and yours? That's the future! No matter if they're inspired by a VCS in 2020, or an Amico in 2021 or WHY. Likewise with the German Mine Bothers, whose video I posted before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 OK, and this IS new to me! A LIVE unboxing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smRp-xrnjgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 I just got mine - Collectors Edition #2951! Photos to follow. I'm so happy! I love the packaging, eco-friendly too, and great build quality in my hand. I had a "clover" power cable from my Dell laptop ready, for the PSU, so no need for a USA->NL plug adapter, and it's up and running. My 1st boot was to Ubuntu to check it was OK, do some diagnostics, back-up. (I booted Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, from a USB3 thumb drive, and used a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard+mouse. Plug and play. No problems.) Now it's updating. ? I used a Mocute bluetooth gamepad (instantly synced) to get past the controller request, and no glitches so far. ? Photos to follow. * Edit: to clarify - above, I meant, I booted off a USB stick "thumb drive" into Ubuntu, just to check out the system before I started it up. The system itself does not use Ubuntu, but it's Linux based. It will run Windows 10 easily, but for my purposes I chose Ubuntu this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzard Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wait, VCS uses Ubuntu as its OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Nintendo Dads has a new unboxing video for the VCS - well far more than unboxing, really. It seems he knew nothing much about his purchase before he unboxes and sets it up, so it shows what needs to be better explained before the units go to retail. Part #2 is to follow.

The info I saw well digging through the OS shows it is based on Apertis, which is a Debian based distribution. https://apertis.org/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzard Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yes, I read it too, so it is not Ubuntu based. The problem is that it does not contain support for all wifi and sound hardware, so it is a problem to run it flawlessly on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Another unboxing for unboxing addicts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 ...and another for the people who love VCS unboxing pron. Yes, and this unboxing is from Britain, and he's very pleased with it, as am I. He also makes some positive points about the Atari quality on all components.

justclaws Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 This is rather better than most unboxings! The guy is entertaining, and just REAL. I enjoyed it, and he's going to follow-up with some other videos, probably 3-4. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
