MrChickenz Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 34 minutes ago, Ben from Plaion said: I'm thinking about it, @Albert offered to list them for sale on Atari Age store That would be great if you could order an improvement kit from AtariAge for the 2600+. Even if it is just the cartridge socket kit. Also those PAL Food Fights that are sitting in the warehouse. They still work if you have the update correct? I’ll buy one of those so there’s no loss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) I was traveling back home and had my 2600+ all packed up and missed this. Congrats to all the winners! I am interested in an upgrade socket and ribbon pack for retail sale for original 2600+ owners. Sometimes it's tiring playing pull the cart on the 2600+. Or I guess I can wait, save up and buy a 7800+ (which honestly I've already pre-ordered). Edited August 31 by atwwong Formatting and adding more info. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonie Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Well Crap! I always see these things too late. Just bought the thing last month, too. Please excuse the dog hair. It is on everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetmanUK Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It's worth your wait guys. It's a really nice upgrade. Whilst you do wait take note of any carts you have that are problematic and see how they fare with the new socket. You will be pleased. 🤟🏻😊 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbottle Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Bollox am I too late to, really want an updated cart slot to! Anyways, provided Atari 2600+ is still getting a rev 2 with these I will await patiently for that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben from Plaion Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Good news. The ribbons came in and I'm ready to ship the 40 boards now. I will DM everyone over the next few days and ship out next week. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already shipped Atari 2600+ with updated cart sockets to Plaion US, which supplies Amazon and to Atari who supply Atari.com. They both probably have some inventory of rev 1 which is now being mixed with rev 2 with the upgraded socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manderò un messaggio privato a tutti nei prossimi giorni e spedirò la prossima settimana. Fantastic! Thanks Ben 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripweade Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Fabulouuuuuuus! Thanks, Ben! I've been not playing mine as hard juat so I don't mess something up before I get the socket. That doesn't mean I stopped buying carts on eBay, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
