cd-w Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 i guess these have been out for a while now, but i'm having no luck finding them in the UK. any pointers much appreciated! They are not available in the UK yet, and probably won't ever be given the state of Atari at the moment. However, I imported one from the US and it works fine here using a 220->110V power transformer. CHris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Where did you import it from? I cannot find a US vendor who will ship to Oz and am guessing that one who will ship to the UK will ship to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I visited the US myself recently and bought it while I was there. However, if you look on Amazon.com there are many different sellers that are offering this item - I suspect that some of them will shop internationally?

AussieAtari Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 No such luck so far, Amazon does not let any of it's marketplace vendors ship electronics out of the USA and it's territories. I might try to contact some of the stores directly to see if they will ship to Oz. If anyone know of a store that will, I'd love to know.

Nobody here has NTSC video source so I cannot test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody here has NTSC video source so I cannot test it Should work fine if you have a reasonably modern TV - both of the sets in my house work perfectly with an NTSC signal. In the worst case you could always route it through a TV card into your PC - you can get the old Hauppauge ones on eBay for next to nothing.

thomasholzer Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 and if you have an old TV with vertical hold, no problem either, as NTSC picture just rolls on PAL (ok the colors are a bit off to, but that does not affect the gameplay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 thanks, it looks like the ebay or similar is only the way how to get FB2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) That was cheap for the console, thanks for the link, looks like I'll go that way once I can remember my PayPal password . Are all of the units from this vendor without the orginal box? Edited July 9, 2006 by AussieAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
