The Ouya

[SoulCoffin]

Was curious if anyone else got in on this kickstarter or pre-ordered it. I just got an email that mine has shipped. It feels like its been ages since I got in on it. I actually totally forgot that I even did. I heard the ding on my phone, saw the message preview, and was shocked, heh. kinda excited for it to arrive. Should be here before the end of the week.

basically, it's an android based game console. for a lot of people (not me included), one of the biggest drawing points is that its open for anyone to develop games for it.

I didnt get in on the ouya, but I did preorder the nvidia shield.

[SoulCoffin]

ack, I was tempted to get in on the shield too... too many toys, not enough funds...

[Frizzle Fry]

Got mine... fail. Sold it.

[SoulCoffin]

Wow, really? What about it didn't you like?

[Frizzle Fry]

Laggy, controllers didn't like being connected, and some games didn't show prices so it was "surprise, $18" on the credit card statement even though it appeared to be in a section full of $1-$5 games. I wasn't expecting much, and I got what I paid for it when I resold it, so it worked out for me I guess.

I really was in the same boat, I already have to many android devices, kindle fire, nook color, several phones, asus pad 300, etc. but the game streaming is what really sent me over the edge to get it. I dont know how good it will work, but I just have to try it.
