Atari VCS Promotional T-Shirt Idea
Posted May 9, 2018 by Ric Pryor
It's common for video game companies to give freebies to people who crowdfund pre-order their products as a thank you. I think Atari SA should give something to anyone willing to give them money for the still-just-an-empty-shell VCS. Here's my suggestion:

In just three weeks, you'll be able to crowdfund pre-order the new VCS. It's not my place to tell you what to do with your money, but spending $200 on a console that doesn't exist seems like a bad idea when we live in a world where tacos do exist.

Atari SA (not to be confused with Atari Inc., Atari Corp. or Atari Games) announced today that pre-sales of its new VCS console (formerly the Ataribox) will begin May 30th with packages starting at $199. Other, presumably more expensive packages, will include your choice of the not-finished-yet modern controller or the still-in-development classic joystick.
In addition to possibly including a working controller, each VCS comes pre-loaded with a selection of over 100 classic Atari games. For a complete list of included games, look at the back of the box your Atari Flashback came in.
Consoles are expected to ship beginning in the spring of 2019. The pre-sale, which is definitely not a crowdfunding campaign, will be handled exclusively by popular crowdfunding site Indiegogo.
