Ouya game console?

[Tatsujin]

you don't want to.

[lukester]

So you are forced to have a solid internet connection? That stinks. Well could you still side-load emulators and apps?

Listen, that's not the future of gaming.

HDMI only? guess I can't use this even if I wanted to

There are converters you could use, but at this point there's not much of a reason to bother.

I have no Ouya, but I did however hook my 5 year old laptop up to my TV through s-video out to do some silly emulation.

I've used the Ouya without any internet connection.

Noticed the Ouya had a couple really interesting releases recently.-  I've purchased both

On a side note I just bought a second one to act as a media device for my upstairs TV as the Playstation TV proved to be a failure in that regard.

Not a bad deal for a refurbished one

I think you can give PSTV a little bit more time before condemning it, no?

Well, it's been out in Japan for close to a year, and considering the lack of apps and limited support for commercial Vita games, it doesn't seem like a product polished enough to have been available in any market for six months, let alone as long as it has been in Japan.

Prior availability in Japan means nothing when it comes to Netflix, Hulu, etc. streaming apps.

Yes, but the Vita game compatibility sure could be better with the headstart.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about game compatibility. I'm surprised Sony hasn't done more on that front.

Well and the fact that it's essentially just a Vita with TV out. Netflix is available on the Vita, it should just be a tweak to get it working and displaying properly on the PSTV. And they've had final hardware since last year to have this ready too.

Everything is better with XBMC.

Everything is better with XBMC.

I use a fork called SPMC http://spmc.semperpax.com/
It has AC3 sound where that was crippled in the official Ouya XBMC
