Yes, I rather wait for a good product than one that is rushed to meet a deadline but has issues.

Well, this has more delays.  The reason still has to do with quality:

QuoteWe are contacting you to update you on your Atari “Retro” product order and to share an update from the manufacturer;

“As you are aware from previous updates, we have not yet been able to fulfil orders on this product. This is because we’ve been striving to ensure it will have the quality and performance associated with an Officially Licensed Atari product.

It is with this in mind that we have made the difficult decision to move the manufacturing to a new facility. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, especially at this stage of the process. However we have been energised by our discussions with our new manufacturing partners, who understand our ambition to deliver a great retro product â€" one worthy of the Atari brand and the games it will run. We’re more confident than ever on delivering on this.

Given the above, we are now expecting an August release date for both the Atari TV Joystick & Handheld.

We apologise to all those who have already waited patiently to receive their product, as well as our retail partners.”

We appreciate this is very disappointing. Our bonus offer of the additional incentive with your pre-order â€" an exclusive set of Atari Postcards (on top of the Atari Centipede Coin) still stands. All orders will automatically include both these items.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that the exciting product and exclusive pre-order items will be worth the wait.

You are of course still entitled to a full refund if you would prefer.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The Funstock Team.
