Pre-orders for the Atari VCS Retro Console start at $ 249

The basic VCS 400, featuring an AMD processor, integrated Vega graphics and 4GB of RAM, will cost you $ 249. A VCS 800 with 8 GB of RAM will cost $ 279. The classic Atari style joystick and the more modern gamepad will sell for $ 49 and $ 59 respectively. The purchase of an all-inclusive 800 model with both controllers will cost you $ 389. In addition, you will need to be specific about where you buy based on your design preferences. The Atari 2600 inspired black walnut design shown above is only available directly from the company. GameStop only sells the all-black model (also available from Atari), while Walmart offers an exclusive version with a Kevlar Gold front panel.

As before, the price is much higher than recent retro machines such as SNES Classic or PlayStation Classic. The problem, in this case, is that it's not just a fixed collection of games from your childhood, it's a 4K compatible machine that can play modern titles alongside vintage titles. Whether it works or not as well as promised is another matter, but at least you will not be stuck with what went into the box.
