I agree size is very nice, but several problems have been mentioned. Audio for one, faster android devices for cheaper also. I truly think the Ouya is a sweet machine, and will work for what you plan with some work but again, better options for the price i think. Now if you asked me if it was a great choice for a XBMC machine :) i cant get enough of mine.. XBMCHUB addons.. goodbye cable tv, I wont miss ya. I think if you are building a small bar top I would go the extra $100-200 and hit someplace like Anadtech and pick a miniATX board used that will play pretty much anything (emu wise). again OUYA= awesome.. Im sure it would work just fine, but you do have a few hoops to jump through that other options would eliminate with less cost or same cost. --- End quote --- Just out of curiosity what cheaper faster android devices are you referring to? One of the TRON's or android sticks? --- End quote --- Ok i may have overstated, When the Ouya was coming out i was looking at other Android boxes, some came out, some haven't yet ( and may never). I see the Ouya was $70 on Amazon yesterday.. that is close to impossible to beat i have to agree. There where supposed to beat least 2 other tegra machines with DUel USB and VGA out for about $80, but i cant seem to find any now.. (amazon has several, but none that i see cheaper and better then Ouya).. I guess I look at the extra $100 or so and think it would be nicer to run a few more emu's full speed. |

Just like today's video cards for PC's. If OUYA puts a T4 for their 2nd console i'd seriously consider getting it then using the first OUYA for something else. |
