Ten-in-1 Atari Joystick Available
Dave21212 writes "My wife emailed me today with a link (yes Geeks can get married) to this interesting little retro-toy. It's a self-contained Atari game unit. The joystick *is* the console, battery operated with 10 preprogrammed titles and RCA out to your television. Includes Adventure, Real Sports Volleyball, Gravitar, Video Olympics, Circus Atari, Yar's Revenge, Asteroids, Centipede, Breakout, and Missile Command. She found it here on Avon and after a bit of Googling for this, I turned up no other sellers. The silly season is just around the corner, what a cool stocking stuffer! (Batteries not included)." Looks pretty authentic to the original... We mentioned this earlier but hadn't seen it for sale anywhere.
That $19.95 device now costs (move the decimal) $199.50 because it's 10 times as useful.
For that much money, you can get a new Playstation ][.

No one still plays those games anyway. They are interesting as history, but they just aren't appealing or fun anymore. Even games from just a few years ago are now dull when compared to new titles like Doom 3 and The Sims. The Atari is dead, and there is no way this product will sell.

Uum, that's POND, not LAKE, dipshit...
For 10 times your stupidity I could get a ham sandwich.

Says who, fuckface? Both in are popular usage. You need to get out more.
That wasn't on the Avon site.
It was linked to in the Slashdot summary. You really can't read, after all; I guess truth is stupider than fiction.
