The Atari VCS has been in the works for quite some time and backers have already received their items. However, those who didn't join the crowdfunding campaign, but wanted to get the unit were left wondering when they could get their hands on it - and we have our answer. On June 15, retailers like Best Buy, Micro Center, GameStop, and the official Atari VCS site will begin taking orders for the console and PC hybrid device. The core device is a game console - but it also has a PC mode enabling a whole new world of just what a user can use a gaming device for.

It's exciting to see a new Atari system on the market at all, and with the ability to use Xbox and PS4 controllers with it, alongside its original modern-style control and paddle-style controller. Being able to play VCS-centric games and some PC games on the same unit is pretty cool and does a lot to help expand the library of available games for players. We'll be keeping a close eye on the VCS as the release draws closer.
