One Week Until OUYA's Release, Anyone Else Reserve One?

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"][QUOTE="ConanTheStoner"]

I see the OP is serious.

Sell me on it man.  I'll admit, I know very little about the system.  As a guy with a very capable PC (with all the emulators I care for), a PS3, a WiiU (ditched the 360 a while back) and soon to be a 3DS owner... what does the OUYA offer for me?

Not trolling you, serious question.  If the system offers something that sparks my interest I'll pick it up.

Well I don't own an android or any smartphone for that matter.  Not an issue of affording one I just don't care.  I was also one of the last people on Earth still using a pager after others moved onto cell phones lol.

So I suppose that would open up a new avenue of games for me.  And 100 bucks is nothing as long as it offers something (enjoyable) that I cant find on other platforms I own.

Do you have any links so I can check out the library?

[QUOTE="ConanTheStoner"]

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Well you can literally try hundreds of indie games and various android and console ports for free, alot of games are even free to own. It comes with a Tegra 3 processor and 8gb of storage out of the box, which you can expand with any USB hard drive. A controller similar in style and feel to a 360 controller is also included. The OUYA store literally updates with a minimum of 5 to 8 games a week. All games run in HD, and the system is as small as a rubiks cube so it doesn't use up much space. It's also free to play games online, plus the console syncs up with a 360 or PS3 controller easily to play multiplayer games fast and easy. Just plug in the HDMI, the ethernet and power cables and your ready to play. All this for just $99, where else will you find all that for $99...come on.Slimmin360

Well ok Slimmin.  I skimmed over it and saw a few games I'd like to try.  But I also think I can obtain a lot of this stuff on my PC.  Sorry, I'm not a model citizen when it comes to games.  Not to say I'm a full on pirate either, but anyways...

I may pick it up.  Not just for my interests, I have some little kid sisters that would probably enjoy the console as well.  But at 100 bucks?  I don't know.  I'd pick it up immediately at 50 bucks.  Not saying its not worth it, but that is the value I personally see from it.

No, Just no.

Ouya probably isn't even in the top 1000 on Amazon's preorder list

:lol:

I have a smartphone already.

And if I want to play with emulators, I have other devices for that >.>

Well even though i pretty much know the bad opinions every core gamer in this forum has against the OUYA, i thought i'd just check in and see if anyone had a change of heart and reserved one for themselves.

Mine is bought and paid for, and i look forward to using it to amuse myself until my PS4 comes out, i've sifted through there current titles and picked what i think are the best, and most fun entertaining games to buy and download.

I just hope people realize your allowed to have fun playing video games on a console that doesn't say Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo on the box.

Slimmin360

Bought and paid for here! Its a hundred bucks, if it sucks big deal!

Nope

no, if i wanted to play sh!tty android games, i'd play them on my 3 year old samsung.campzor

Not sure why I'd need one, don't really have anyone I'd like to chat with in the great beyond.

Oh really games like The Bards Tale, The Ball, Knightmare Tower, Stalagflight, Saga Heroes, I-Mech Online, Beast Boxing Turbo, Bombsquad, Chrono-blade, Final Fantasy 3, Flashout 3D, God of Blades, Guns n Glory, Highway Rally, Polarity, The Little crane that could. All popular hit titles thousands have downloaded, view any one of them on youtube to see gameplay.

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]I have a smartphone.lhughey

:lol: i feel what ur saying and i thought about it but ima just save that money for launch and probably buy more games

There's still a huge problem, that is, they're using NVIDIA's Tegra 3 from 2012.

Just to give you an example of how weak Tegra 3 is:

GFXBench 2.7 T-Rex HD C24Z16 - Offscreen (1080p) [Higher is better]:

• NVIDIA Tegra 3 - 232 Frames (4.1 Fps)
• NVIDIA Tegra 4 - 1,027 Frames (18.1 Fps)
• Snapdragon 600 - 957 (17.1 Fps)
• Snapdragon 800 - 1,456 Frames (26.0 Fps)

Probably stands a better chance at success than the XBOX One.

Hobos.

Get a life.

I already have my Ouya because I was a backer...and you guys are going to be disappointed if you buy one at launch. Two much wrong with it. I also have a Nexus 7 and already have a ton of games I bought for Android, but if I want to play them on my Ouya I need to buy them again. No thanks. All I'll be using it for is a streaming media hub for my bedroom TV. HadOne2Many

I always forget that this platform exists until I see a thread on SW.

[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="Slimmin360"] A prime example of a typical " UNINFORMED FANBOY"........It has an Android O.S. but plays more than android games... The Bards Tale and Need for Speed, and Chrono-Blade, we're not android games, neither were the hundreds of games on the 6 different emulators available on OUYA. Do some research before posting about the OUYA library, and you might just be impressed.Slimmin360

just because there are a 100 games, does not mean they are 100 good games
