According to the Consumer Price Index, that would make it cost roughly $708 by today's standards.
Helluva cost, now, isn't it?

Wasn't that the original Atari?
I was guessing that the OP had the more common Atari 2600, which was down to $100 in the early 80's...but I was but a wee lad then.
But that does reinforce my point about the the Atari being a bigger deal than the iPod.
