Ouya CEO "pissed" about delayed shipments

@bunchanumbers @Clownbabby Nintendo says different.

There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

@Ngentot25

It's not competing with xbox one and ps4.

It's competing with raspberry pi and cheap media players.

The games bit just makes it way more attractive.

In a way it's it's own market segment because it's fairly unique with its pricepoint and features.

Next best thing would be a mini itx PC

That would be more expensive, bigger and have problems with the interface and controller setup. It would also be x86 based and not run android apps natively.

And you'd pretty much have to buy it in parts and build it yourself.

Now I would prefer that setup but the price is too high for me.

@S0loMANgrundy you own it? product laucnehd today and you post this Umm hater gonna hate.

@Clownbabby @LtReviews

Because I like to play alot of classic games on my television screen, split-screen with friends. And the Ouya is portable and easy to get to any friend's apartment, and it's nice and cheap.

@Clownbabby @Pre_ordered_PS4 They are not horrid for what i want it for. I don't need it to be a 360 or ps3. I already have those. I just want a cheap option for emulators and fun indie games like towerfall

@Clownbabby @the_craig @Pre_ordered_PS4 It would need to be longer than that, i would honestly prefer to spend the $100 to not have to run a cord through my house every time i want to play an emulator

@Pre_ordered_PS4 @Clownbabby Yeah, people seem to not realize that it's not easy for everyone to hook their PC up to their TV.

@Clownbabby @Pre_ordered_PS4 again, I appreciate I could do that but my PC is in the spare room and it would be a right pain in the arse moving it all about

I'm considering an Ouya because it sounds convenient for playing roms and its dirt cheap at £99

@Clownbabby @bunchanumbers @Dezuria @Pre_ordered_PS4 convenience. I could convince a friend to plug in a ouya if they have little technical experience. I would have trouble getting a tech beginner to set up a laptop for emulators.

@Dezuria @Pre_ordered_PS4 @Clownbabby and its convient. It can do most of the stuff that consoles today can do (netflix, games, market etc.) and it runs emus so you can get tons of games. Its just not a graphical powerhouse.

@Pre_ordered_PS4 @Clownbabby I use a wireless 360 controller and a 25ft HDMI cable to do this. :) Ouya does seem like a nice option for emulation if you can't run a cable from your PC though.

@Pre_ordered_PS4 you provide your own roms and dl the emulator from ouya.

@Pre_ordered_PS4 illegal

@Pre_ordered_PS4

You can get the emulators free on the Ouya store. ROMS, however, you need to download on your computer and transfer to the ouya, just use a USB stick or a dropbox app, and you're good to go.

It doesn't matter that it's open source. The people making this thing have really shit the bed, and it should be criticized harshly whether it's open source or not.

I'd love to see the Ouya succeed if for no other reason then I'm all for more options for gamers of all income statuses and interests, but if a company fucks up, they **** up, and they need to be called out on that. That's all there is to it.

@Ovirew whats the hells is all the clicking, I hope thats not the controller ...lmao

@Ovirew da fuk is this

@ArataWata The point is so you can play the apps on your TV for relatively cheap.

@ArataWata That's actually what I've been unclear about this whole time -

How is this thing better than just playing the same games on your phone, plugged into the TV?
