Well, considering OUYA already fooled some people into buying it via the Kickstarter campaign Shield has some catching up to do. Like 20 copies or whatever and then they are even and both are ready to bomb.
damn lol!

I'm pleasantly surprised to see it has 40 exclusive games. Those screenshots look cool (Bombsquad, Chronoblade, etc) - gotta hunt some videos down.
If this has some great, cheap indie games I would love to buy, support and play. It is a cool idea.

I found it pretty painful to navigate the menus on the Pi though. Although I love that little board (I have two), I was underwhelmed by how it ran xbmc.
But can oyua run the android netflix app? Android on pi can't due to some drm issues.
There are some special new builds from team XBMC and plays 1080p flawlessly.

Getting XBMC up and running was a pain in the ass.
P.S: That gif is how it seriously felt. I spend the entire day making this shit work. There are no tips, no hints, no nothing online. Even the creators themselves have no clue how to make this shit work, judging by the responses at Kick starter and forums.
It's sad, really.

I'd be more interested in a cheaper version with no controller.

It's a shame it's so expensive in the UK. It's £99 here. Around $150. Fuck that.
So you have never played a PS3?

I like how quickly the whole Wii U defense of "Generations are chronological" went out the window. Not tat you personally said it, but that people aren't bothering to correct you.
This probably will be an odd one given they intend to iterate yearly. Though honestly it really IS in line with trends that will accelerate on next gen consoles, both the Wii U and PS4 are far more indie friendly along with their respective handhelds, and even Microsoft sounds as if they may turn.

At what point will we have a OUYA emulator on PC?
Now we get to see a thousand comments and quotes on that gif again. I don't know how there are people around here who haven't seen it by now. Also, the OUYA is still a disappointment. Might as well have just called it the XBMC machine, because that's the only thing that isn't a total mess.
I'm waiting my order to come. I plan to use it mostly as a glorified Roku and I like messing around with android. For these purposes is cheap. To controller is ugly as fuck and it will end up in the garbage bin as soon as I will manage to pair another one with it.
Don't feed the trolls? Do you think this thread would benefit from another discussion about generations?

I paid $150 for my Kickstarter edition colour and additional controller. Hoping it might turn up at some point.

I like the concept of the console but that Euro-price is atrocious.
119 = $ 154
119 = $ 154

I didn't back it, but what were people expecting, especially from a new group?
Even if it only gets a couple of decent indie games, it'll still be a nice Android roku box that plays better games and emulators.
I can get $99 of use from it, I guess all the angel kickstarter investors need more realistic expectations.

I heard of that. I can't believe that got retail units out before sending out all the kickerstarter editions.
Yeah. Fuck that. It's a big NO from me.
EDIT: I've sent OUYA a email asking them why it's so expensive here. I'll let you know if they respond.

These are two very distinct / disparate ends of a wide continuum.

2 groups of people that are equally loud.
Same with AAA games.
One group: they need to die.
Another Group: These graphics look like shit, they need to put more money on these.
Equally loud.
Amazon says mine is supposed to be here tomorrow but has not shipped yet so we shall see.. my hype is super killed at this point so I am hoping I get some fun out of it and I am looking to see what sort of apps I can add to it.
Edit: Nevermind.. amazon says shipping now
For the price .. why not but I also want to see if I can get my 360 controller working with it since I have heard nothing but bad things about the quality of the controller that it comes with.

That Euro price, when placed in the context of the others?
No thank you.

I'll recap what I said about the controller in the other thread since this now seems to be the OT.
The pad is alright, I find that it sits in my hands well even though it looks like the handles are too big, they just about work.
The sticks are very much like a ps2 stick but with the stronger feeling of a 360 stick, so it's best of both and IMO the best thing about the controller, however the stick arms will rub against the metal controller clip on case and it's starting to cut into them a little bit, enough to see a visible white plastic line.
Face buttons feel a little cheap but do their job, just not as nice as a ps3 or 360 face button to press.
Dpad is terrible, the shape is fine but there is zero give, pressing down a direction moves it about 1mm into the case, it's like using a touchscreen Dpad in terms of how hard and flat it feels.
Bumpers feel fine.
Triggers have rubbing issues somewhere behind on the joint or something, they work but they really do need a little grease or WD40 in there, just not sure where to squirt it yet.
Not had any pad lag yet but I sit about 5 foot away from the ouya with it on the floor, so I am above it and the ouya is out in the open currently, story may change if I sit back more and move the ouya between other units cutting down it's freedom to send wireless signals.

Who's that GAF person you're talking about?
