My PC isn't hooked up to TV (it is in another room), it costs more and it consumes more power.

Tablet, multiplayer? Do you mean local or online? A tablet can do online multi.

A reason not to get is that you can get something that you can carry around which does the same things - and more. Tegra 3 tablets aren't expensive.

I have an iPad (that's what I'm posting from!) and I know it can do online multiplayer and plug into the T.V and stuff. I was referring to local multiplayer. If I can buy cheap multiplayer games for >$5 then it seems decent enough.

What is a Tegra 3? Can that do local T.V multiplayer?

lmao, ouya. No, It doesn't interest me in the slightest. I don't see much of a point of spending $100 on something to play tv mobile games with. If I really wanted to, aren't there cable to connect a tablet/smartphone to your tv too.

 

Off Topic: What's up with a gif in nearly every post you make? The gif normally has nothing to do with the discussion and doesn't add anything. Just wondering.

A Tegra 3 is a system on chip (think condensed computer hardware - CPU, GPU, Northbridge, etc all in one chip) on which A LOT of droid tablets are based. The Ouya is also Tegra 3 based.

Local multi is indirectly connected to it. Local multi needs hardware power, but of course, it's not required if you lower graphics and such. IIRC there's no local multiplayer with tablets.

It all depends on the games - If it gets a two quality exclusive 3D platformers, then I'll get it. That's how bad I need my 3D platformer fix right now



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

no xbmc, emulators don't run well.

media players on par with xbmc and NES,SNES, N64, GBA, GBC, and all Sega emulators run perfectly fine - my backlog has increased like 1000% because of homebrew - that's why I said "sounds like"

I'm looking for a cheap XBMC-device and currently Ouya or GameStick seem to offer good value. Being able to play some games on them is a nice bonus (I'm not really interested in Indie games, so I would mostly use them to emulate some older games).

But I would prefer cheaper SKUs without controllers.

Depends on the games, the console is so cheap I might pick it up for just a handful of great games.
