I've pre-ordered many times and very rarely am I charged in full before the game launches.

I pre-ordered pokemon Sword & Shield from Best Buy a few years back and was not charged until I picked up the game. Same thing when I pre-ordered Scarlet and Violet. Didn't charge until the order shipped.

Also source: me. An accountant. Sure you can see units pre-ordered but the company cannot report prepaids as revenue until the order is fulfilled.

People need to understand that most preorders don't even charge you until launch day, or the day it ships. Preorders also aren't even accounted as revenue until those days either.

The company does not see any financial gain until the day of launch, regardless of if you preorder or buy day one.

Basically you just watched a perfect game and a near perfect game.

Imagine in baseball you watch both pitchers make it to the 9th inning on a perfect game but one blows it on the last out, but the other completes it.

No problem, you can get an RCA to HDMI adapter but chaining adapters can be weird or give you picture issues. Most modern TVs still have an RCA connection but they're in the form of a 3.5mm to RCA female adapter that comes in the box.

You probably won't find anything reliable straight from DIN to HDMI sadly.

I believe the cable you're looking for is a DIN to RCA cable. I know Atari and Commedore systems used them but I'm not sure about the Atari 2600 specifically

My favorite world in gaming honestly. The lore just sucks you in and you want to keep learning more. The story is solid but it does drag a bit at the beginning. Combat is super fun and can be challenging if you like that. If not you can basically one shot everything at the lowest difficulty.

I'd absolutely recommend.
