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

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"]

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] The 2014 OUYA model will have the Tegra 4, and be priced similarly as this years OUYA model....it's worth it to be a little behind with the processor if it can hold a $100 price point....Especially if every game you buy can be played on every future OUYA model which the OUYA people guarantee you will be able to do.HadOne2Many

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).

IT'S A PHONE!!! Who in there right mind would choose to game on a phone over a console, even if it's connected to your TV, the phones battery will run out of charge and it requires wi-fi to play online. OUYA is always plugged in and hardwired to the internet, and has a larger variety of games than android alone.Slimmin360

EDIT: and your comment about games...you have to be joking right?

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]Also, they both use google play. And you can use your games from previous purchases from google play.HadOne2Many

Poor baby you should've just waited for the retail version, then you could've purchased the redeemable OUYA cards and bought your games for OUYA that way like the rest of us are doing, then you wouldn't be in here whining... "wahhhh they don't use Google play......booo--hooo i have to re-buy my games"

So sad too bad, thats what you get for your impatience, ya' just should've waited for the retail version.

"the rest of us"? Who else? All I see is you. I ALREADY have an OUYA and I'm trying to warn people about it. You don't have one yet and think somehow miraculously the retail version will somehow be different next week. The retail versions that came off the assembly line days, if not hours after mine did. From the same factory. Using the same software. And the same hardware. HadOne2Many

it's a normal controller and an MHL cable. it's not that much money

Slimmin360, at this point you are becoming belligerent. I'll just leave you with this bit of advice. Cancel your preorder and wait until next year. Maybe by then they will finally have a product worth buying.

except the exclusives have to be good to draw people in.  And a lot of people already have smartphones or tablets, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to buy an OUYA

.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see....the OUYA will either sell or it won't , my guess is that by this time next year we'll know better if it's a viable alternative to other consoles or not.

Onlive and Ouya, both died before arrival, got buried at launch.NationProtector

I don't see the point. I mean the only reason I would want it is to emulate stuff and why would I pay $100 for that? My phone can already emulate the games I want to play.

If I have one regret in life it is that I didn't pick up the Guitar sooner, so I envy that you have been playing for 20 years. I have 2 sons myself, hopefully they show an interest and I can get them started at an early age.HadOne2Many

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Oh yeah right....like the over 100 new titles released on the OUYA in the past 6 months right? because 6 months is soooo old...gimmee' a break.Slimmin360

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

Have you even ever seen any gameplay footage from the OUYA library?, there are plenty of fun games, but it is afterall an indie console.

So that means there will, unfortunately, be more shovelware to sift through than usual....but if anyone is willing to take the time to look and try the games then they'll discover there are quite a few gems to be found...such as,,,

Stalagflight, Bombsquad, The little crane that could, The Ball, Beast Boxing Turbo, Knightmare Tower, Chrono-Blade, Final Fantasy 3, Flashout 3D, God of Blades, Guns-n-Glory, Ice Rage, Polarity, Rage Runner, The Bards Tale. These are just a few of the great titles i'm downloading when i get my OUYA, look up anyone of them on Youtube and see for yourself, there lots of fun.
