According to those guys anyways. If you haven’t heard, your a bit of a cave dweller. It’s an Android based gaming console aimed at bringing the best of your gaming experiences back to the living room. The creator’s hated the monopoly AAA companies, big publishers, and dudes with a lot of cash on the Console market. Even with the advent of XBLA and PSN, it takes an absolute buttload to get your stuff on there! OUYA on the other hand? Completely free. The console ships with a developers kit – at no extra cost – what’s the catch? Something about the game you make has to be free. A demo, an F2P+Microtransaction model, limited levels, anything! So long as something about your game is free.
Yup, you heard it. This is the push independents have been waiting for, with the kickstarter fund smashing the $950,000 goal (nearly 9x over!!!), the wait is dead and gone. Every single person who has an idea, an innovation, or even a creative side, can pick up their controller and say “Today, I’m going to make the game I want to play.” in their living room. Oh yeah! Hacking and modding doesn’t void the warranty either! Freedom? It’s yours for the taking!
“He Goliath? David’s on the phone. He’s got a sling. Do you know what it’s all about?”
At a measly ninety nine dollars. Yes; $99. This console will suck all of you away from your keyboards, and bring the world of artists to our living rooms.
Try not to look at it just as an Android gaming console. Really, for $100 you're actually paying for a dev kit that you're free to do anything with.
If you want to make additional peripherals to it, go ahead and do so. Want to make it more powerful to support more visually intense games? Go ahead.
OUYA is quite a piece of a kit. Initially, I think for indie developers the OUYA is a very cheap investment into making games. For gamers, perhaps you'll have to wait for a couple of years to see if anything good comes out of it.
Once again understand that the system is just on an Android platform. What you do with the kernel is up to you.
I am very much interested in this piece of gaming console, sice it welcomed independent developers. I think square enix had alreay stated that they will back ouya up. It's jst a matter of time before many more developers(indpendent or otherwise) jump into the bandwagon
I bleed it out, Diggin' deeper just to throw it away!

you root your handphone, you void the warranty
OUYA actually welcome you to root it and doesn't void the warranty
well... when it's out, there'll be another confusion for me when swapping controllers already confused when swapping xbox360 and PS3 controller, with this OUYA controller.... albeit very similar to xbox controller, but the button layout and the characters will be a big time confusion for me.
I am already sicked of Android games on my SGS2 and Galaxy tab. No thanks. Wanna buy PSP now. Where the real games is™.
Totally agree, just got a vita recently & somehow I dun like the experience at all. It's like playing a game that looks like a console game on a smart phone. In the end? I still play with my psp more often....

Bought the PSP oready...brings tears to my eyes finally can play some REAL games...especially the JRPGs...haven't play one for a very long time since PS2 and a few XBOX360 RPGs....Now with PSP i can level up in the toilet when i am free doing business....haha...
PS VITA has potential, but the games is not here yet. Maybe in 2 years time. The combo of touchscreen/rear touch pad/gyroscope/tilting and traditional controls buttons makes it a formidable experience and the graphics really good mah...why you don't like good graphics?? I think it has almost similar specs to the SGS3, maybe a slightly better GPU.

Not to say I don't like good graphics but when it comes to jrpg lets just say the gameplay is more important. Like u compare ps2 & ps3 jrpg, in terms of visual no doubt that ps3 owns but when it comes to gameplay experience ps2 jrpg still owns but its a very subjective issue here.
