Atari has announced that the Atari VCS will be available at major US retailers starting from Tuesday, 15
th June. As well as being available via the official website, US residents will be able to grab this 'console' from the likes of Best Buy, GameStop, and Micro Center. Each outlet will have its own launch day promotions.
The road to this launch has been filled with potholes for Atari and its would-be customers. A quick look back at the HEXUS archives reveals that the reimagined Atari VCS was first announced over three years ago. It subsequently took this device through crowdfunding and various hardware revisions before the first batches reaching early bird customers a year ago. Meanwhile, a significant portion of pre-order folk had to wait until nearer Xmas for delivery fulfilment.
