How much did an Atari cost?
So i was watching a video on youtube about the history of intellivision which said the atari 2600 cost $150 in 1980 whereas intellivision cost $300. That’s $540 and $1080 dollars in 2022 prices. Yet the 2600 and intellivision were both wildly popular. Hello, atari here’s one of the first lancaster county ads for the atari vcs, later renamed the atari 2600, from 1977. At a regular price of near $200, the atari system was an expensive gift — that works out to more than $800 today.
