OUYA Android Tegra 3 gaming console

[shinru2004]

So what are everyone's thoughts about this? Myself i love the idea, and at $99 you cant beat an open source gaming console with built in game development tools!! Its said that you can also upgrade the ram among other things, i think this console will be awesome!

Hope we get a section for this!!

Specs:
Tegra3 quad-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
USB 2.0 (one)
Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
Android 4.0

It seems like a great idea.. At first.. .
But.. After thinking about it..

What is the difference with a phone and a bluetooth controller? What about the nexus q? Or a Google tv?

Don't like the name and it's too generic, sounds like a Chinese cheapo tech company, e.g. Shenzhen Ouya Cheap'n'nasty Tech Co. Ltd.

...and there is a Hangzhou Ouya Electrical Appliance Tools Co., Ltd. that makes multi-way electric sockets.

There's many of this type of Android gaming console now, from hundreds of makers..

....they all come with AV leads so you can plug them into the TV.

It's a great idea, I've seen shadowgun running on it and it looks great but they should've put more memory in... the 1gb is gonna limit the system when companies start making games solely for that.

Edit: video of it just incase anyone hasn't seen it. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/...d-game-console-funded-in-less-than-a-day.html
