This is way too early for a review. The product is basically only available to the people who helped fund their Kickstarter campaign and should really be considered to be in beta. At least wait until the final retail product is out before slating it!

Maybe I'm missing something but does those early backer get new hardware/controller when it's final? If not, the same hardware problems would still be there.

As far as I'm aware the backers get exclusive access to preview hardware and have been asked for feedback in order to improve Ouya for final review/retail versions. I believe they then get final hardware although to be perfectly honest I'm not 100% sure; I'm basing this on statements from the Ouya devs.

The hardware may well still be flawed as they don't have much time to implement improvements, but I still think this is too early to start slating.
