Ben from Plaion Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 18 hours ago, romeoteknik said: Hi @Ben from Plaion, I got word from Atari on X that the bundled game is just the cartridge in a sleeve. Will you be offering a "Core" version of the console without the game for a lower price? I rather save that $30 and use it to buy a boxed version of BBCQ. If not, then that's fine, just thought to ask. Also Atari on X mentioned that there are slight memory differences, is that something you can expand on? Perhaps it increases stability or provides better compatibility? According to Atari on X, there is a difference in memory: https://x.com/atari/status/1825889671697568152?s=46&t=TPgcC5b3Y6qBNlIQzt4GwQ There are some minor differences in software, memory specifically 7800+ Memory - 256MB eMMC/256MB DDR3 RAM Wired Connections - HDMI/USB-C/DB9 Controller Ports 2600+ Memory 256MB DDR3 RAM / 256MB eMMC fixed internal storage. Wired CX40+ Joystick with DB9 connector It's never come up in conversation to release a machine without a game. Yeah, SOC, memory and RAM are the same. Differences between the two are updated cart socket and changes to the dumper and controller chips. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 The 7800+ does not seem to be available to Finland. Last time I got the 2600+ through the German Amazon. Since then I just get a notice "we don't ship to your location". Is there some vendor in EU that could sell a 7800+ and accessories to other EU countries without the hassle with customs? Shipping to Germany appers to be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still not available on German Amazon, but I could help you to get it from Germany and ship it to Finland once it is available and you cannot get it yourself.

That will have the same improved socket as the 7800 Plus, but not the new dumper and controller chips I believe... which may prove to be the secret sauce and offer more compatability, hopefully.

Thanks! I will be in Dusseldorf area during eJagfest. So if I cannot get the order through before that I might use the help of someone attending eJagfest at the last week-end in October. Surely the console is shipping by then. I already have the 7800 PAL, 7800 NTSC and 2600+. Testing my lovely games on a 7800+ would be nice. Besides... For some reason my games look best on the 2600+. Both the colours and the sounds are better as I only have a HDMI TV for display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Is the 7800+ able to run the CDFJ/CDFJ+ carts? Is the issue with these due to dumping? Just wondering if the minor hardware changes has an effect on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX-1138 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Has anyone in the UK pre-ordered from Amazon (UK) yet? Were my eyes deceiving me or are some of the box art different to the ones Atari have shown? Also some games are like £24.99, others almost £30?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find and order the 7800 Plus and a CX40 Plus Wireless, that was all that was listed at the time. That was a couple of days ago, I will check to see if I can find the games now.

After searching this is what I saw - some missing, wrong price, spelling error, one I ordered and it now says cancelled in my orders page. Very bad Amazon!

Yeah I think Berzerk 7800 was listed as CD-ROM software or something weird. I’m still waiting for confirmation on peripheral compatibility, so I figure by the time I get that the listings will be sorted 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradyblix Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 10 hours ago, Age-of-Atarius said: Yikes! TMI here. IMO some downside is not compatible with the original hardware. Can't play with a CX-10 or basic CX-40 nor Trackballs? I am old school and prefer that my Atari equipment to be something tangible. Sure, emulation is nice for most people, however the nostalgia factor of something you can feel in your hands just can't be duplicated. I am on the fence with this item & happy with my Retron 77 as it is PAL compatible. Well, you need to get over that because everyone else here has lol. your mind will be changed when you see that crisp output lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonie Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Figures... I finally decide to buy something (2600+) and it gets revised with a better version the next month. 🙄 I'll also second (or third) the comments about the size of the rainbow stripe. The original thin one looks better (to me).👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 2600+ delivered for free in the US and the price was lower. It came DHL, which is not commonly used in the US. BUT I think I know why it was cheaper and they offered it that way, however. They were probably clearing stock for the upgraded model. Thanks for that, @Plaion.😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
