"Ouya is a $99 box running on the Android..."

Stopped reading there. Besides, I dislike everything consoles stand for.

Being a collectionner, I can't let the opportunity to add an object to my collection slip.

Heck, I've been trying for a year to get my hands on a Zeebo (Doesn't sell in europe)...

If the processor doesn't suck, and the OS can be hacked... I'd buy one.

P2W game console.

with the right homebrew support.... this machine could be amazing.

Does it say how much we have to pay to play those free games ?

link says more news in the next few days.

The Kickstarter went up today, and has already met its $1 million goal. It seems the "free games" aspect will operate largely how the iOS and Google Play markets already do. It could be the F2P model, it could be a regular game and the "free" portion is just a demo, stuff like that. I think it looks quite interesting, am currently on the fence about getting one.

I can't believe people are actually falling for this shit.

I mean, I always knew "indie gamers" and consolechildren were stupid, but now they're giving $100 each to a bunch of con artists and nobodies that are putting up some smoke and mirrors to sell a glorified android device that you could already run on your PC.

And the only major game that has been announced for it is MINECRAFT. People are paying $100 to play Minecraft again when they can already play that shit on their PCs and 360s.

People are putting money on this expecting to get in on the next "Wii" fad. But they won't even get that. this machine isn't even as powerful as a Wii, and keep in mind that we are living in the year 2012 of our lord and saviour: Jesus Christ

The processing power on this machine is a complete joke.

Shit like this just makes me depressed. I wish I could hate all the people involved in this garbage to death.

Ouya is actually a kickstarter project, and it is a STUPID idea. A console is not something one can "kickstart". A console needs developer backing to become viable. Let's be realistic here: a "hackable" = "pirate-able" console will get NO support from developers. Does anyone seriously think EA, Activision, Ubisoft or some major studio will support a gaming platform that offers no DRM, no copy-protection, and encourages a "hackable" = "pirate-able" environment? Some independent developers may get into it, but some indies are NOT enough to support a console and make it into a viable platform. I am sure hell NOT going to buy a console that has no AAA title and no strong studio support. Without strong developer support, Ouya is DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

Also, as a consumer I DESPISE freemiums and "free-to-play" games, which always end up as being more expensive than proper retail games. There is no way in hell I would buy a console that only has nickle-and-dime-you-to-death games.

Also, Ouya is the name of the person who kickstarted the console. Talk about a big fucking ego.

I like how the lady says that people develop games for the television....I mean, do they even know what they are talking about or do they just think their target audience is stupid?

Their target audiences are stupid.

I look at this and the only immediate use I can think of for it is emulating my old video game consoles (NES, SNES, and so on).

to be honest you can just use any modern console for that already.
even the first xbox is pretty good with that with coinops.

Their target audiences IS stupid. Learn the right way to speak bad english :P
