I think they had a line of rebadged CD burners, too.

i've got ads i could show from the 80's. not BB specifically of course but just general ads placed in mags back in the time. Like Atari ST, Amiga..etc. i got tons of nostalgic magazines

I used to have a Kmart ad that showed the Atari 2600 on sale for $199.00, but some jerkwad threw it away

That's how much they used to cost? That's not too far off of current pricing. How much were the games?

IIRC, new games were usually $30.

EDIT: Just checked the 1979 Sears Wishbook and new games were $20 to $25, with one being $40.
