>>715166274
HAHAHAHAHAH YOU'RE SO FUNNYYYYYYYY

>>715166394
Wouldnt it be 2,400?

>>715166039 (OP)
For context
The atari 7800+ costs normally 130 dollars
It's on sale for 60

>>715166274
Lol

>>715166446
I'm sorry anon, you may be retarded. Please seek a medical specialist to redeem your euthanasia.

>>715166274
mathematically speaking, it makes more sense to be 4 -> 99 because of the .75 at the end
almost 100 units sold!!

>>715168428
But 24 in this situation would be an increase of 240%

>>715166617
they still make them? how aren't they like 30 dollar with modern tech?

>>715168893
Because they would make less money that way

>>715168893
Ataris weird
You can get a brand new 2600 and 7800 that plays the old games for over 130 usd
You're Essentially paying more now for a 2600 than you were back in the 80s

>>715166394
Uh oh Atari shill meltdown

>>715169225

>>715166039 (OP)
Any cool vidya deals?

>>715169435
I don't see any on the site

A 15% discount is not moving that many nor making people rush to buy it.

>>715169113
The 2600 was $199 at launch. That's equal to $1,055 in 2025.

In 1984, the 2600 was $45, which is $239 today.

At $130 or $60 you're still getting it cheaper than it was at the bottom of the Great Crash.

>>715169480
I meant Amazon generally, I don't really give a fuck for Atari

>>715169539
I think some switch games are still on sale
What are you looking for

>>715169525
Fucking hell 1,000 dollars?

>>715169494
Someone buys em

>>715169670
It was a different time. Adjusting for inflation only partly adjusts for purchasing power. That $199 wasn't as hard for a family to part with as $1000 today; it's just proof of how much weaker the US dollar is now after the 70s depression. Look at how much lower the inflation rate is when compared to 1984, just 7 years later.

>>715168830
No 2.4 would be

Do demo makers still exist? That's the only thing I remember from the Atari era, cool musics over psychedelic effect videos

>>715170095
God
It just sounds insane

>>715166617
tarded ass controller

Who unironically buys Atari in 2025? Is it just nostalgic boomers with deep pockets?

>>715170702
Thats not even the worst 7800 controller

>>715170702

I played ball blazer growing up. 7800 >nes

>>715170856
I bought a VCS (the 2021) when it was on sale
I don't recommend anything made by atari

>>715166274
More than the Switch 2 on Amazon

>>715170552
In 1977, a Mercedes-Benz 300SL could sell for $7500. $200 to $7500 is a ratio of 37.5.

Today, a game console can cost $500. At a ratio of 37.5, a world-class grand touring car should cost $18,750.

You know... I might pick this up. This was the first game console I ever spent time with. It was old even at the time but when the 2nd dude my mom was fucking (she's kind of a slut) showed me this I was never the same. Played the hell out of it until she stopped fucking him.

Couple birthdays later I had my very own SNES and it was really over for me then.

>>715171234

>>715171298
Yeah thats what the fuck I said
Atari controllers suck ass

>>715171451
Huh

>>715171545
>Reg 179.97
Also the official MSRP was always 199.99. Retailers in different areas didn't have to abide by the suggestion.

It's true. My childhood was something else. My "real dad" would hide his cocaine on cookie sheets and slide them under the little area under couches. Like this 400iq play would prevent the cops from finding it or something. It didn't. After that we lived in a trailer in a small village and a rat died in the furnace, so I was just blasted with dead rat smell all the time. Still smell it in my nightmares. Couldn't be healthy whatever was floating in the air.

Think this might be why I do have a strong Nintendo preference. No matter how shit things got I always has my SNES. Death grip on that fucking thing. Even when mom tried to sell it for booze.

Good talk, same time next week?
