It's not shoddy craftsmanship! The controller ships in pieces so you know where the batteries go!

When will man be able to open 58 tabs and play Wizorb at the same time?! EDIT: ahaha they didn't even bother cleaning up the stock Android settings menu so now you can among other things see how much battery your Ouya has remaining

I would recognize the background they used for the first level from miles away; it's wikipedia's stock picture of a luminous red nova!

Aluminum is so soft and so easily scratched that they're going to get so many complaints about faceplates damaged during shipping. Honestly, they probably aren't intentionally loose. The controller build quality is such that they came loose during transportation. The guy in the unboxing video is just making excuses.

I wanna shake every BOIOIOING supporter who thinks the console will be a "revolution" until their brain damage renders them harmless. Which, given what I have heard, shouldn't take long.

raditts posted:I didn't spend months claiming that, it's something I said once like 5 months ago. I didn't even remember writing it, honestly. That's fair, it's true that he didn't usually make claims like that, and usually just said more tempered stuff like "realistically, this won't come out" or something. I didn't remember exactly what was said either. I went back & looked it up because I was worried that I had put a deadline on my prediction, and I wanted to check. raditts posted:I mean the controllers are reportedly hot garbage and barely work, but they are shipping with the thing so I guess he's got me there. But what's wrong with the controller? I thought people in the thread were saying the input lag is a result of the fact that it uses Android, not anything wrong with the controller. We should make a list of the problems with the system. I'm gonna start that in my next post, I think. Feel free to start tossing out suggestions.

I feel like I'm missing something. What makes the OUYA ripe for so much ridicule that it deserves a thread for it? Isn't it just one of those android on a stick things but with a customized UI and console focused? The marketing I've seen for this thing is a bit out there, but I don't feel it's any worse than what EA or Activision puts out. I actually feel with the recent Sim City debacle that OUYA's bizarre marketing is tame in comparison. It's a bit endearing how genuine their enthusiasm feels, even if it is misguided and incredibly naive. Basically if this device plays emulators and XBMC it seems like a solid $100 device even if that's not their intentions. Is there more to the hilarity that I'm missing?

Except you can get things that do that for $30-$50, and even get a controller to use with them for $15 for a total price of $45-$65. So it's still not a good idea to get. So no, it's not a solid $100 device.

I've bought them and no, they are terrible. They don't have enough power. I'm hoping the tegra 3 is able to perform better. If there is another tegra 3 android unit for sub $100 please point me to it.

Plus, owning a PSP would still give you all that warm fuzzy buyer's remorse you would've gotten from the OUYA.

At least he PSP has at least one game people would probably want to play, also it doesn't come out of the box in pieces.
