My roommate just got his Ouya today. He seems pleased with it for what it does. I know why a lot of people here don't care, but clearly there are plenty who do. Too bad most (all?) of the sales are going to happen online so vgc can't track it.

I am somewhat interested. I heard you can develop games for it and I would like to try that, but I don't really know how it works :/

It it any good? what can it emulate? ps2 games?

Ouya. Dead on arrival.

It's $99. It's priced like a China phone. You can't expect it to compete with even a PSVita. Apparently low budget entertainment isn't well received around here?

I will get one when it's available in my country, and I will develop games for it.

Almost everything up to psx (this includes n64 but not saturn which is still a pita to emulate).

No, thanks~!!!!

At $99, it's almost a throwaway purchase; very little risk involved whether or not it pays off in entertainment value.

If there are even just a few exclusive games on it worth playing, or if there are a bunch of Android only games that cross my radar (I have an iPhone, not a Galaxy), it's worth it. It would almost be worth it for emulation alone. A really inexpensive box that uses up essentially zero power that automatically syncs with a game pad that is super portable and easy to hook up to any HDMI display; what's not to like?

I rarely use my overclocked gaming desktop PC because of the power draw and most of my computing tasks are just as easily handled on a quad MPB laptop that uses less power. For a lot of tasks that don't even require a desktop OS and apps, I won't even use a laptop and will just use a tablet.

So the whole "I'll just use my 750w desktop PC to run old games in emulation instead" is kind of pointless to me. Why would I even turn it on for something that could be handled on a $99 dongle?

Final Fantasy III looks really great on it. And it can function as a media player as well. I don't know, i'm kinda thinking about getting it now :P
