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.

Just out of curiosity what cheaper faster android devices are you referring to?
One of the TRON's or android sticks?

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.

Woulda been nice if someone mentioned that sale here. I'd have bought @ $70

There are so many devices out there with so many chip-sets it's just too difficult to keep track of their power.
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.
