The speakerhats are not half bad. I've even taken a call on one! 🤣
Great unboxing and thanks for the shout out! Hopefully you don't encounter the update issue. 🤞

Very special thanks to @Sabertooth for the ClubVCS Recharged Squad Challenge Giveaway prize, which arrived today. The modern controller is totally awesome, but the classy letter and pins (my favorite is the Donut Dodo) take it over the top!
I hope everyone takes the opportunity to join in. And invite your friends. LETS DO THIS!

Atari's recent financial reports indicated the cancelation of existing manufacturing contracts for the VCS hardware. The same reports also talk about a pivot in strategies and additional hardware through licensing to grow the VCS ecosystem. Some outlets reported on the first part without reporting on the second.
Atari issued a clarification that only Game Spot seemed interested in reporting. Their statement underscored their commitment to supporting the platform. Obviously, that doesn't jive with the narrative Pat & Ian (and other YT folks) want to spin. It's easier to keep at the whole "zombie Atari" thing.
Atari have something like 13 games in the pipeline for VCS in 2023. There are at least that many indie games slated coming to the platform this year. So 25-30 new games expected this year. We'll see what happens beyond that.
Bottom line: the VCS isn't done yet. Folks that want it to succeed should support it.

Yeah, I watched the last episode earlier. They ended with their usual misinformation about the VCS. Still, I've enjoyed their half-baked takes over the years and have even seen them in person at a con. I've said it before and I'll say it again, they are the Statler and Waldorf of gaming. Cranky, entertaining, sometimes poignant.

PSA: Rumor on the street is that the Atari VCS store XMAS holiday sale kicks off tomorrow, 12/19. So if you own a modern VCS and have been looking to add a few titles to the library, keep your 👀 open!

For those interested in this sort of thing, here is the required mid-year report for Atari SA as of 9/30/2022. Interesting mentions of the VCS for you tea leaf readers out there.
These results are ahead of the release of Atari Mania, Missile Command Recharged and Atari50 so a lot of costs ahead of revenues. Assuming their Year End report for March won't be as bleak.
-
VCS games sales are live now. This is a great chance to pick these titles up at a discount!
