But I dont need a BR player for a $599. I just wanted to have a Sony console with awesome games like in the previous two generations.

Well, its for casual gamers after all... what are people expecting from a $99 device...

Even for casual gamers, it doesn't present much value. And $99 is a pretty high price for a device that doesn't do much.

Ouya people always say the right thing which means they are good at selling but they don't make good product. Not with this short turn around time.

well the only thing I can say is .... ROMs TOns of roms.

Hmm $99... that could get me a Wii or a 360 preowned, maybe even a PS3. lol why would i choose OUYA

Lets be frank, people were only interested in this for the roms and emulators.

From the review:

The buttons made me angriest, though. Instead of labeling them A, B, X, and Y, like every other manufacturer ever, Ouya went with O, U, Y, and A. The A button is where B should be, and O is where A typically is — so every time the Ouya said "press A to go back" I pressed O and went forward.

Sigh, another casualty of Xbox brainwashing, much like the idiot who criticized the Wii U for supposedly rearranging A, B, X, Y.  In the non-Microsoft universe, the A is right where it belongs, but the Y is where X should be, and the O is where ⨉ should be.

I think the real problem is this: if you're going to use O/A for forward/back, why assign the left button to "forward"?!?  (I suppose I'm being left-to-right centric, but the few screenshots I can find of Hebrew web browsers don't seem to mess with the basic idea that left is for back.)

Yeah, while an interesting concept I think the idea here was inherently flawed from the beginning. Not surprised it's still rough around the edges, but I hope they get a refined version to stores or it's DOA. Probably DOA anyway.

Plus now that the Galaxy S4 and (rumoured) iPhone 5S will also let you play your android (iOS) games off your TV (as well as your smartphone/phalets) on a proper controller (which also has a touchscreen) - whatever case there was for having an Ouya like device has crumbled.

I'm very skeptical of Ouya and pessimistic about its future, and have been since August.

I know the Kickstarter campaign took in over $8 million -- a huge success by any standard -- but I think early support had more to do with fan frustration with the video game industry and less to do with interest in Ouya.

Big three killer right here.
