Brad_from_the_80s Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Congrats to the winners! Since, that's done, another suggestion... Probably came up somewhere in 18 pages, but...

Not sure how many of these were sold as I remember them being a bit out of my price range. I got mine years later when folks were practically giving away their old VCS systems. The footprint could be left unchanged from the original, but the feet at the top of the pedestal could be modified so this thing fits both a legacy/original 2600 or the 2600+. The lower innards fit a good amount of game carts, controllers, power cords, etc. This thing right here, love it. So expensive though to tool molds to make a modern version. Just not feasible but I want to do it, lol 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357889-the-big-christmas-2600-giveaway-competition/page/18/#findComment-5369470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently using expensive 3D stands to store the games, but it's not big enough at 6 games each and pricey. And I already spend about 70 bucks on 4 of those that alone...

Plumbob Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I was so astonished that I won that I couldn’t concentrate at all at work today! I really like the positivity of this retro gaming community and I am grateful that Atari is willing to listen to and consider community ideas and suggestions! A huge thank you and Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all! 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357889-the-big-christmas-2600-giveaway-competition/page/18/#findComment-5369667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I will add L.E.M. and have Buzz Aldrin sign the first release. He will sign them. Buzz is crazy. Neil never would have done it.
