I was into this at first too, but I soured on it after looking at the controller. It seemed like the perfect little emulator box to hook up to the tv, but that only works if the controller is awesome.

Under-the-hood the OUYA is just a launcher on top of android 4.1. That being said, the OUYA supports as many controllers as 4.1 android does. So you'll be able to use any ps3 controller and wired xbox 360 controllers via USB OTG. Or wireless xbox 360 controllers with the USB Adapter.  Not sure if that changes your opinion or not, but it gives us options at least.

It comes with one controller standard, so the $149 would be with a second one.

I kinda liked the idea of this at first (at least it was cheap), but I think it's a joke now that they're planning to release a new, updated console annually.  Assuming game makers take advantage of the extra power, you'll end up spending just as much on a ouya platform than what you'd spend on a Wii U/PS4/720 over their ~8 year life span.

yup.

Unless you want to play Ouya3 power games on an Ouya1 at 20FPS!

BUDGET GAYMER!

its no longer a console at this point.  its just a tablet in a box.

... isn't that what I said in this thread like, on page 2 or something?   lol

The fact that it has Android on it is reason enough to stay away.  Far far away.

I am curious to see what happens...

Despite my earlier fears/doubts, it would be nice to have another viable platform...viable being the operative word.

Ouya's got a lot of competition...

Somehow I think they are looking beyond the US market with this one. Hell of an gaming gift for a youngling!

This "annual update" thing killed all my interest for the system. Please tell me you're only joking. :(

I'm excited for the OUYA, but their Parking lot convention OUTSIDE of E3 is kind of sad. This is even sadder....
