If you look closely at the two yellow items in the background you will see that each is covered in a piece of blue Priority Mail plastic tape which has a repeated pattern of a Eagle on it. This tape is provided under USPS (Post Office) for use only for sending Priority Mail packages - its use for anything else, as exhibited within this photo, is a violation of USPS rules and regulations. I suggest removing this photo before its pointed out to USPS Postal Inspectors (I wouldn't suggest messing around with them as they have the authority to take both legal and criminal action in such matters).
By that logic, the
Prostitution article shouldn't have any pictures becuase prostitution is illegal.

The article claims that the Magnavox sold the first commercial light gun, but this is incorrect. IBM sold the first commercially produced light gun to the US government as part of the SAGE systems. The article should instead say that Magnavox sold the first consumer light gun. -- Brouhaha 06:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Magnavox odyssey logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Im sure the Magnavox Oddssey was basically PONG that no one had a clue what to do with, because unlike Atari's PONG and Coleco's Telstar (along with many others.) the Magnavox Oddssey was not just a one game console with ABSOLUTELY no peripherals, you had loads of plastic overlays you stick on the screen to make graphics (cheapskates, lol.), and you got a free brief case with it. But yeah the Magnavox Oddssey was bascailly the first home PONG. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool ( talk) 12:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

I can't help but notice at the bottom of the list of games is Pkemon-Khoto. It seemed odd to me since to the best of my knowledge the Odyssey is older then Pokemon, and acording to the Wiki article of Pokemon that's correct. I Googled Pkemon-Khoto and came across only French language pages about an online Pokemon game. This seems like some sort of vandalism to me, but I don't claim to be an expert on either Pokemon or the Odyssey, so I'll wait to see if anyone replies to this before removing the game. If not I'll remove it in a few days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KearF ( talk • contribs) 20:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I second the belief that Pkemon-Khoto is vandalism. Here's the diff: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Magnavox_Odyssey&action=historysubmit&diff=336031307&oldid=334600519 There was also something about the World Cup added here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Magnavox_Odyssey&diff=next&oldid=336031307 which has been reversed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.142.240 ( talk) 10:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

The article currently lists the original Brown Box as being displayed at The Smithsonian. However, after talking with one of the former holders of it, MICHAEL THOMASSON, who used to take it to trade shows. He said that it was sent to a Japanese Museum. Fun fact, before being displayed they had to assess the value for insurance, and it came out to about $3 million. I don't usually edit wiki pages and can't find an article to cite for transferring it, other than talking with one of the former holders of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.92.87.106 ( talk) 00:20, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Magnavox-Odyssey-Console-Set.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 27, 2015.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Magnavox Odyssey. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

Sorry once again for the delay. I have given the article a thorough copyedit and made a couple of corrections. There is only one issue remaining: the one-time $700,000 Atari settlement is an untruth propagated by Bushnell. Business is Fun reveals the true settlement deal, backed by a copy of the actual settlement document reproduced in the book. Once this is fixed, we are good to go, so I will place this
On hold. As for the name, I think "Magnavox Odyssey" is the most common rendering, so I would leave it as is.
