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

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Even if less than half of them are good thats like 45 good games in 6 months....what other console puts out that kind of average?Slimmin360

doubtful even half of them are good

well that's a stupid saying. I prefer not to just throw 100 dollars down the drain

[QUOTE="HadOne2Many"]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. Slimmin360

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Ya' never know until ya' try, and at $99 it's well worth the risk I.M.O.Slimmin360

well that's a stupid saying. I prefer not to just throw 100 dollars down the drain

Yeah, but if it's useless then it's not worth 100 dollars. Especially when I already have a smartphone. You could just use that 100 to preorder a next-gen console and play actually interesting games

Have mine preordered at Amazon.

In another Day I will create a Epic thread for OUYA to make everyone a beleiver and see it has a lot of uses.

If the emulation capabilities are good I might buy one.

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] How is it throwing money away? Your getting an HD console that hooks up to your TV and comes with tons of free games to play, a package that includes a console, controller, HDMI cable, and power cable, with games to play out of the box......I think is well worth $100 easy.Slimmin360

lol "true gamers."  It's not worth the money or time

Wow i'm glad i'm not as close minded as alot of people in here, to me, if your a true gamer you'll game on anything, as long as it's reasonably priced and i think the OUYA is more than reasonable.Slimmin360

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]someone ban this shillSlimmin360

Ah-ha...So you "assumed" they would use the same marketplace...ever hear about the mistake of assuming, when you assume, you make an ASS-of-U-& ME, which of course spells assume. So don't get mad at the OUYA people or the system itself because you just jumped to conclusions, when it came to the marketplace...thats your fault. By OUYA using there own marketplace, they ensure that customers can only buy from them and play on there device, actually it's a smart move as far as profits go.Slimmin360

Yes, I made a logical assumption based on the information provided to me by Ouya. It was a gamble, and I lost $100. I feel cheated though because Ouya was unclear and not forthcoming when it came to Google Play. That wasn't the only thing they were misleading about. Take a look at this screenshot from the Kickstarter:

Want to guess at how many of those games are actually available? One. Canabalt. Well, maybe two. I don't know what that lumberjack looking game is, it might be there.

Back to the other issues with the controller, buttons sticking is only part of the problem. Overall it feels cheap. There are still deadzone issues too. Luckily I have a few PS3 and 360 controllers to use, but I don't want to lose the touch function...oh wait. Nevermind, the touchpad blows. Don't take my word for it, just read some reviews. They are not very positive.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Go stand in a corner and pull your pud, we'll get better replies from you that way.Slimmin360

why give something a chance that was given a mediocore reception, at best.  And basically does the same thing as most people's smartphones or tablets.  It's basically on the level of those joysticks you buy at walmart that have like 500 atari games installed.

i'm not a core gamer i'm an internet troll that plays gamesJandurin

Oh...so you're a hardcore gamer 

except it doesn't come with the atari games installed, you have to rebuy themJandurin

wow, so it's worse than that crap. good job OUYA

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Seriously you guy's need to grow up, it's not meant to be a serious competitor to the the big 3, it's just an alternative to play while we wait for new Xbox and PS4 libraries to build up or if they have a bit of a game drought......THATS ALL. You guy's take your game consoles way too seriously....OUYA's new, cheap, and has over 150 games ready to play out of the box...what is so terrible? The Tegra 3 is capable of 360 looking graphics,,,it's nothing to turn your nose up at.....give it a chance.Slimmin360

Stfu. Go see Titan Fall.

Lol, I wouild rather kill myself than play a console designed for casual filth.

However they were the first to admit, as recently as E3 actually that, they are a small company and there going to make mistakes, which is why they put out the dev kits and kickstarter units to the public a.s.a.p. after production.

To get all the feedback from dev's and customers in order to make corrections to both the hardware and G.U.I. and game library by the systems OFFICIAL release. What you have is basically an unfinished OUYA, which is why i waited for the retail version, because i suspected there would be various hardware and software issues to be ironed out, and from the latest reports...they have been.

The controller buttons plates have been fixed, the OUYA's O.S. had a major update which resolved any lag and hard to find items that people had issues with, and i'm sure as time goes on they'll make even more corrections. You have to cut them some slack, there only a newly founded 22 employee startup company, starting in one of the toughest markets to be in to begin with.

ATTENTION PLEASE!!!! THE OUYA IS NOT OUT YET. You people are going by a demo model, the kickstarter OUYA is not the finished product, sorry to those who ordered it, but it's not...they've said that over and over again. You can't judge or review something that hasn't even had it's official launch yet,,,i will come in here next week and give my brutally honest opinion and review of the OUYA after i have some time with the hardware and games. Believe it or not i won't be biased, if it sucks i'll tell you so, if it's just ok or pretty good i'll say that too, i'm not expecting it to be great but if it is i'll let you know.

I can't have fun with cellphone games.  Even if angry birds was on a 50", it would still be boring as sh*t.

This is like Rikusaki and Onlive all over again.bobbetybob

mobile gaming is garbage.

you do that shit internally, not give it out to people so they can tell the whole world how much your product sucks.  Really, they couldn't figure these things out on their own

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)

Slimmin360

The two most popular phones of 2013 (so far) are the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Both of these devices use a variant of Snapdragon 600 that runs circles around Tegra 3 and can almost match the 2014 OUYA's Tegra 4. Not to mention, Snapdragon 600 has already passed the OpenGL ES 3.0 conformance test. Other flagship devices of 2013 are likely to be using a Snapdragon 600 equivalent, or better. 

These devices can easily be hooked up via HDMI to a TV, and they offer support for almost any bluetooth controller (including but not limited to, Sony's DualShock 3).

Also, they both use google play. And you can use your games from previous purchases from google play.Jandurin
