Man, you deserve more attention! You're actually a pretty funny guy, especially with that rant about updates. Keep up the good work!

Love the VCS add 32 gigs of Ram and a 2TB drive inside this is a streaming Game Beast! A very computer And a streaming platform I disagree you can find it less than $400 but it is a Mini PC that's what a tari calls it and it's a great deal love it. One thing if you can get into the bio you can assign more video Ram for more complex games. I admit I'm a Atari fan boy. there are many people that wanted to hate on a Atari but this system is very unique and it has a place and this saturated market.

The games on the store make it worth it for Atari Fans. Love the VCS

[kantidinda]

Great video... Very niche for sure. I just picked up for $190 on sale! Will be well worth it IMO.

[Hammersmith]

i sat through 4 updates and it was patience testing but i luckily didn’t have to flash a bios or anything so yeah

[KleberFainer]

Is this console able to run current gen games, I'm assuming it's not...

The Atari 50 collection for the VCS is the only version that works with the 'paddle controller' function on the classic joystick. There's also mods available for Stella emu users who want the rest of the licensed titles that aren't in the 50 collection. I got it as my daily-driver until the Steam Deck came out to get proton-ready (2 years ahead of the fact) to manage my Steam library and general content streaming. Works great. Of course, I got the full-set for 100 less than retail as an early adopter - but it put my previous mac mini to shame and has performed great in the meantime. Best computer - no - but a solid mini computer with dual-boot and a tight group of indie game devs and Atari has been doing a LOT of stuff to buy along the way. Best of both worlds in a nutshell.

8:30 had me rolling 😂 updates are the bane of my existence I swear when we die and are about to be judged they're going to have to update the last acts of our life to see if we go to heaven or hell probably sit there and wait to know where we're going 😰

[KleberFainer]

2:28 wow! I wasn't expecting to be that small it is the same size of my Xiaomi router... xD

[Gaming-Enthusiast]

Been looking at this system for a while still haven’t dived into it

[zacharyjones]

The only games I can remember for this system was miner 49er and I remember the tragic ET incident where they had five weeks to create the entire game from start to finish and it was an utter failure I heard someone that there are several million copies of that ET Atari game buried somewhere in the new Mexican desert not sure how true this is but it adds some intrigue to so people will talk about it again lmfao. I really enjoyed the video great job I hope to see more videos coming soon

Still having slow internet?? Man are they ever going to update your line out there?
I went tmobile wifi. Cheaper and reliable for 6months now.

8:15 restart PTSD at its best…. 😂 Sorry Man….

[painkiller]

Sorry dude. You don't seem to be a tech guy at all. If you were you would know that all tech stuff does updates when you boot up and give it an internet connection the first time. Hilarious to watch you talking about it though.

[mechamania]

The comments are more edifying than the video. That’s not good — for the video...

[thegodsgift]

I find it hard to love the vcs when I receive mine and all it does is turn on and off. It won't update won't play any games and won't connect to anything. Oh wait it can give me the correct time but otherwise garbage. When I buy something brand new out of the box it should work. And don't question my hardline network that my Xbox works perfectly on. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
