Pete Perpetua Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 For anyone who wants one cheap they are $ 9.99 at Coconuts Records this week (19.99 with a $10.00 rebate). The box has a $49.99 price tag so I assume they are clearing them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Sadly no coconuts records that I know of here in the Indy area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I *think* Circuit City has the same promotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 2.0 is where it's at. The original is not worth $10, not even as a novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 2.0 is where it's at. The original is not worth $10, not even as a novelty. 846063[/snapback] I just checked Atari.com and they are currently selling the FB1 for $60. I wonder what they are thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 2.0 is where it's at. The original is not worth $10, not even as a novelty. 846063[/snapback] Not even for some unique NES controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially not with the drastically improved model coming "Summer 2005," whatever that means. I hope to see it sooner rather than later!

And pinout's no big deal. Scrapping the DB9 for an NES plug anyways. Or building an adapter, but either way, you have to rewire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be worth it for the unique controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have Coconuts near me. If anyone is interested I could see if they have FB1.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I just checked Amazon-- they're clearing them out at $16.99 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I just checked Amazon-- they're clearing them out at $16.99 a pop. 849410[/snapback] That's actually Target's price, too (they are WWW store partners). Gaaah, I'm so weak ... I might swing by and grab one just to have a dedicated Solaris machine, bad sound and everything. I wish that game was on the Atari Anthology.

Clint Thompson Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Also... Atari has changed the price on their website to $19.99. I hope I can run across one for $9.99 locally.... (then I can rant on how good or super crappy it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
