+swlovinist Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Gamestop now shows a release date of TBD for the Atari VCS. Is there a specific release date? I know that the backers got their console shipped earlier this year. I am talking about the bigger release date for everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hey John, I saw this earlier, as I was wondering about this myself. Who knows what is going on, none of the armchair internet experts know anything for sure, so don't believe anything on YouTube (especially don't believe that Immortal dude) or otherwise. I don't want to bug my friend, he just lost his wife to disease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Atari's PR folks had said '3-6 weeks' or something like that on their official Facebook and Reddit channels. Supposedly they've been shipped or something? I dunno- it's the same we've heard forever from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 "Weeks", eh? Definitely not months, am I right? ? In all seriousness, now is a really bad time to be mass producing anything based on AMD chips as they're struggling to supply partners requiring much greater volumes at far higher margins. Until we get to the point where an RTX 3060 can actually sit on a shelf for a few days, without being bought at a 50% markup, it's probably not even worth them bothering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 They've been shipping what appears to be a limited number of consoles in recent weeks to web site preorderers, so it isn't like none are coming in. My guess is their larger shipments just haven't arrived yet, but we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More accurately, the company split into Atari Gaming and Atari Blockchain, with Rosen head of Gaming and Chesnais head of Blockchain. https://venturebeat.com/2021/04/08/atari-creates-divisions-for-gaming-and-blockchain-changes-ceo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
