I can’t imagine wanting to have the cost of various packaging based on different things someone might have ordered, though. I ordered all that plus and extra joystick, so would that mean there’s a box to accommodate that configuration? As a customer, I’d love to get a box like that. As a company, I would probably be the one saying, “Hey, let’s think this through a bit more.” I’ll be curious to hear what Ben says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Just to be clear, the packaging in the above video is NOT the normal packaging everyone is going to receive. It was created as a fun experiment, and then it was decided to make a small number to send out to some people. I can tell you that packaging of this nature is quite expensive to produce! ..Al 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of hundred of these press packs been sent out to influencers and media outlets. Retail versions are exactly what's been shown on Amazon and Atari.com. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
