Those controller ports in the front, yeah? I assume they're just for looks... no way this thing ships with wired controllers, right?

$130? That's not bad. Especially if we're talking about good HDMI translation on the fly for existing 2600 and 7800 games.

It ships with wireless controllers... unlike the 2600+ which they released a year ago with identical functionality and capability, except that it looked like a 2600 instead of a 7800, and its controllers weren't wireless.

The Atari 2600 was my second game console. My first was a Fairchild Channel F.
