I would buy this if it were the new 16GB model with the improved controller. I know you can pair a Dual Shock PS3 controller, but I am still too cheap to buy the old model$85:

Oh I laughed out loud reading that.The only real downside here is that you'll end up with an Ouya.
I say the same thing, I convinced a few non supporters to grab one and they enjoy it, some for emulation, some for just the overall machine, I enjoyed it the first time around and Ill enjoy it again!Ouya bashers haven't spent much time with one....period.
They're just console and/or pc fanboys. Plus it's the internet. Shit they say here, they can't back it up in real life scenarios.Ouya bashers haven't spent much time with one....period.
Better than getting stuck with a WiiU amirite?The only real downside here is that you'll end up with an Ouya.
The Tegra 3 CPU is a bit long in the tooth these days, had it in my original Nexus 7 almost two years ago, and it struggled at times to run the tablet (well, the tablet itself had issues, which were supposedly fixed with a software update, but I dumped it for the 2013 Nexus 7 which blows the old model away). If the Ouya came with a Tegra 4, 16gb storage, and a redesigned controller, I might bite, but as it is the current model just doesn't offer enough to get me excited.Tempting, but it's hard for me to pick up the old model when I know the new one just dropped.
Still only received the receipt, its $69.99 on Amazon today and I wish I would've waited, but hopefully it Actually gets shipped and the $25 game credit will make up for the wait imoDid anyone get any kind of e-mail or anything form this company yet about shipping??? I still only have the reciept, but that's the only thing I have been provided with so far.

how is it $69.99? I only see $99.99 on amazonStill only received the receipt, its $69.99 on Amazon today and I wish I would've waited, but hopefully it Actually gets shipped and the $25 game credit will make up for the wait imo
It was a Lightning Deal, and that is pretty weird that it came straight from Ouya. Never heard of StackSocial until this deal, I saw that it was featured on Forbes, Joystiq, Mashable etc. so I trusted them, just hoping it comes with no issueshow is it $69.99? I only see $99.99 on amazon
I never received a shipping email but I received a box from ouya today. I haven't opened it yet but it has to be it. I didn't order anything else from ouya. Weird that it came straight from ouya though
I received my shipping notification email this morning from StackSocial. Strangely, there's no shipping information on the site showing that it has shipped though.Still only received the receipt, its $69.99 on Amazon today and I wish I would've waited, but hopefully it Actually gets shipped and the $25 game credit will make up for the wait imo
I got mine today too. That was really fast, and really surprising considering I never got a ship notification and I never got a response from anyone I emailed. I also like the system. Controller isn't as bad as I thought ( which is good, but I saw one at best buy two weeks ago on clearence for 24.99 that I would have picked up if I had known I would b getting one). It read my external 1tb HDD right off that bat, which surprised me. Some of the emulators work great though they appear to be just ported android emulators. Some emulators wouldn't find my Roms, but I'm sure I have the root folder wrong or something, which I'll work on later. The system menu is ok, a little tricky to find things in some areas. All in all, ok for the $85 + 25 credit. I wouldn't pay any more than that thoughGot mine in the mail today, shipped straight from Ouya Inc. as well, surprisingly fast shipping for being free, ordered it Saturday night and came tonight. I'm satisfied now! I'll always be on the lookout from StackSocial now.
There's this game called Saturday Morning RPG on OUYA, you should totally buy it. I'm not biased or anything...Oh, fine. I'll buy one. Kind of wanted an emulation machine for my TV. And with the $25 credit I'll buy Final Fantasy III. What should I spend the rest of the credit on?
What, did you help work on that game? What's it like?There's this game called Saturday Morning RPG on OUYA, you should totally buy it. I'm not biased or anything...
If you have friends to game with (and don't want to wait for the Steam/PS4 version), you should also pick up TowerFall. It's pretty great.
You can use wired 360 controllers and Bluetooth controllers (like PS3 controllers) with Ouya so you don't need to buy another official pad. TowerFall has no real single player mode- but it's a blast with 3-4 players.What, did you help work on that game? What's it like?
And is TowerFall fun as a solo game too? I probably won't invest in a second controller. And I don't have a PS4 or gaming PC either.
