OUYAs are a new Android based open source console an I was wondering if anyone else here was getting one. I pre-ordered early so mine comes sometime this month, and they'll be available in stores on June 4th I believe. If you want to find out more about OUYA go to their website.

I freaking love the concept of the OUYA. It's so freaking epic :P

I wish I could get one, but alas, it will most likely end up sitting in a cupboard somewhere, so I think I'm going to pass sadly.

Might get it. Not sure if it is worth the $99 to get it though.

I'm definitely not an early adopter. It sounds like a great idea, but I don't know of any good games that would be on it. That's the real selling point for me, so until I see some awesome games for it, I'll pass.

If I do get it it's probably just site in my room so I can watch Twitch.tv and Youtube like all my other consoles :P

The games are all at least free-to-try, the platform's open so anyone can make indie games, there will be some games by some great game designers like a port of Final Fantasy III, a new game by one of the people who worked on Left 4 Dead and Portal, and a whole lot more. It will have the ability to use four of its incredibly awesome controllers at once, the console's the size of a rubix cube, and if you try you can play any android app too. It comes with twitch.tv and more awesomeness pre-installed and more. I think that's worth $99 (plus it comes with one controller). And more controllers are just $20 more. I pre-ordered one in December with one extra controller and I think it is DEFINITELY worth it.

Or you could get a SMART TV like I have and use twitter, youtube, facebook, yahoo, etc :P Pretty good investment.

Controllers are $60 more. It was only $20 more on the Kickstarter but when it gets released it will be $60 for a extra one.
