I ordered one from amazon about a week ago, but went with the free shipping, so I'm still waiting...

Did anyone else actually order one of these directly through Amazon?

Yep... I just got mine ! :-)

I got mine, and it worked fine the first time I used it, but the second session the TV kept losing color. I have a Sony Trinitron CRT television that has never had problems with console video signals before. Is this a known issue with the FB2?

This happens with both FB2s and classic 2600 hardware that has been modified to output composite. What the TIA throws out isn't exactly regulation NTSC video though old TVs receiving it through an RF modulator don't have trouble with it. Running the output of the FB2 through a time base corrector might help but that isn't exactly common hardware.

Tommo is a distribution company. I would hazard a guess Atari offloaded all remaining stock to them and they are now selling it through Amazon.com (one of their partners)... Here is their press release.
