The Atari VCS was announced back in March and today Atari has announced that the platform will become available for pre-orders starting from May 30. However, the system will begin to shipped only by 2019. We also get to learn more about the different versions of the system available to buy.
You will be able to buy the VCS exclusively from Indiegogo and two different variants have been revealed so far. There is the Collector’s Edition which features a wood-front panelling and it will be available only for a limited time. Then there is the Onyx Edition which is just black in color. The Onyx Edition will be available as part of Early-bird packages for just $200, but prices will change after this period. There will also be packages that come with a controller joystick, but this will not be the case with every Edition of the system.
As of now, the Atari VCS is expected to begin shipping by Spring of 2019.
