PowerDubs Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hmm there is a difference between the # above the serial #.... different countries?.... electrical power or just a gov legality to have different info on the sticker? I know rumor says the reason the VCS isn't sold worldwide is just packaging / labeling...but too late to redo it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Just out of curiosity I was wondering if the Amazon shipped units maybe had a certain serial number range compared to the ones shipped from Atari. My Amazon order is 30-thousand-something, my newly-arrived Atari order is in the 27-thousand range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been batches sent to Amazon in different countries, and also to retailers in different countries. The serial numbers are probably not going to tell you too much, other than maybe give some indication of how many have been made, although even that will depend on what number they started at (and whether the numbers are even consecutive). My serial number (already posted above) is 39766, but that was from a retailer in New Zealand, sent via the Australian distributor. I'm guessing that it was a relatively small batch sent here.

I think my main question and I get it's speculation is whether maybe Atari saved the first, say, 30K for themselves then shipped 30k-50k or whatever to Amazon.

People would need to post where they purchased from (and specify their country) alongside their serial number, and then maybe it would be possible to work that out to some extent. However, Amazon have many distribution centres in many different countries, so unfortunately it's probably not so straightforward. My 2600 wasn't purchased from Atari or Amazon. There are some countries that don't have either of those options, but where there are local retailers stocking it. It's still available for immediate purchase off the shelf in the retailer in my local town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
