Welcome to the 21st century. You somehow own a brand new Atari 2600. It also somehow needs firmware updates

The only firmware updates anyone was getting in 1977 involved snorting a line of coke off an avocado-colored ottoman

@jalefkowit I wonder how many 2600 games worth of data the firmware is
-
@jalefkowit also positively REELING that some of the images in the guide are photos of a monitor, but *only* some
-
@SnoopJ IIRC, most 2600 cartridges held 4KB. Updating the 2600+ firmware requires downloading a 59MB ZIP file

@jalefkowit I remember getting really excited about this a few years ago and seriously considering buying one

@vivianshadows From what I hear, if you want to play Atari 2600 carts on a modern TV, the 2600+ is a pretty good option.
(And if you have any 7800 carts lying around, it'll play those too. You don't have to wait for the upcoming 7800+.)
