Sorry for spamming just another Kickstart, but just saw this on the US forum. This has appearently been running for only 6 hours now but is closing in on the target already. Get in while you can.

I prefer to stay on the sidelines with these things. Most of the time you're just throwing money away.

I was actually going to post this myself. It sounds really interesting and promising, although like many of these things I'd wager it won't make it out of North America. It sounds kind of like the Steam Box (maybe Valve should step up to the plate and buy it; a machine which runs on the Android ecosystem but is closely tied into Steam and can run many/most/all games found on Steam), and having a proper console at a very reasonable price which is developer-friendly and able to run loads of cool quirky games like Spelunky, Limbo, Trials et al would be awesome.

It closing in on $6mill now. Its a really interesting concept I am tempted to order one you add $20 for UK shipping. Smaller and maybe quirkier games which also has the other options for Neflix etc. What I see as well it can / will support Onlive as well for the "bigger" games which is dependant on Onlives library of games. With the Ouya the free games and the switch from graphics being the most important thing to gameplay are encouraging. The graphics themselves arent rubbish I would say roughly early Xbox 360 standard.

Just got Final Fantasy III. First time you will be able to play it on a home console!

Good website for Ouya news www.teamouya.com

Great idea, even if the tech is basically that you'd find in a smartphone.

The inclusion of onlive is a vital lifeline imo. Cloud gaming is perfect for this machine.

Agree that it wont make it out of the US.

I watched the video and they said that it can be used anywhere in the world, its not region locked, they just wont be selling it elsewhere unless it starts to sell really well. Im very interested in one of these, may have to get one when they drop to £50

I have one ordered for £80 worth it imo. Worst thing is that I have another small box to play netflix on. The teamouya.com site has the latest details on it. Interesting is that retailers are in talks with them

I'm not gonna buy one yet. Gonna wait to see how well it gets supported by devs
