  • Plex works a treat
  • Side-loading Android apps are available if you're inclined
  • Stunning audio-visual quality
  • Incredibly versatile
  • Awesome build quality
  • In purely physical terms
  • Ouya is a hit. Famous designer Yves Béhar came up with the casing
  • Which exudes a subtle yet appealing charm. The wireless Bluetooth controller is also decent

The editors didn't like

  • Controllers are expensive at $50
  • Launch line
  • Up still unknown
  • No Netflix or Amazon support yet
  • No AAA games
  • No Play Store so you can't use previously bought games on Android
  • Side-loading Android Apps
  • Not quite there yet
  • Design
  • Design wise
  • The Ouya is understated but extremely stylish
  • No bigger than an apple
  • The Ouya's slick
  • Brushed alumini
  • OMG the price
  • A games console is only as good as the games available on it
  • And at the moment Ouya doesn’t really offer anything that’s likely to get hardcore gamers excited. Many of the titles on the store are shallow mobile offerings adapted to use the controller
  • And few will keep your attention for more than a ten minutes. Ouya needs killer software
  • And hopefully that will come as 2013 progresses.Although
  • Gamepad is cheap and nasty
  • Some good games
  • But most are awful
  • Store is messy and hides prices
  • Closed off software
  • Mediocre controller
  • Middling graphics performance
  • Poorly made controller
  • Not enough quality games
  • Basic
  • Feature-lite software interface

  • Abstract:  br />Unpacking it, the actual OUYA console is tiny, but looks well made with all the ports on the back and a single power button on top. The pad surprised me – it's actually very comfortable to hold and use (although I had to google how to put the batter...

  • Abstract:  When you open up the trendy, glossy and aesthetically designed packaging of the Ouya, you are greeted by the words "and so begins the revolution.” The initial feeling is one of class, and that you've picked up the future of gaming consoles. Unfortunately,...

  • Open-source approach, Everything's free to download and try, Small, lightweight and cute
  • Gamepad is cheap and nasty, Some good games, but most are awful, Store is messy and hides prices
  • Ouya shouldn't be thought of as an alternative to a console from Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft; the quality and breadth of games falls way short of the offerings on those machines. What it is, however, is an intriguing games console for those who want some...

  • The Ouya -  perhaps an accompaniment rather than replacement for an Xbox or PlayStation at the moment.The Ouya does what I want it to do, but it won't replace my current console. The games are gimmicky and the only thing keeping me coming back for more is...

  • Loads of modding and hacking potential, Open platform for homebrew developers, Decent basic hardware
  • Poorly made controller, Not enough quality games, Basic, feature-lite software interface
  • Ouya is still a curio rather than a prime-time ready games console. It has bundles of potential, but only ardent fans and hobbyists need apply right now....

  • Lots of potential, Future software updates might fix issues
  • Closed off software, Mediocre controller, Middling graphics performance
  • I wanted to like the Ouya. A £100 Android-based game system with a gamepad seems like a great idea. However, even though it's been released as a retail product, it's just not ready yet. It's held back by a mediocre controller and a software interface tha...

  • We really wanted to like the Ouya. Honest we did. The system's open philosophy and low price are admirable, especially after all the Xbox One DRM craziness that dominated E3 2013.But the Ouya hasn't delivered a stable product, enough compelling games or c...

  • Ouya has plenty of potential, and it’s great to see a new company entering a competitive marketplace - and getting plenty of attention in the process. However, at the moment Ouya feels like it’s just putting mobile games on your TV. These games have be...

  • Stunning audio-visual quality, Incredibly versatile, Awesome build quality
  • OMG the price
  • On paper, Ouya is undeniably exciting - the scope of Android combined with a proper gaming interface and a super-low price point. However, a lack of quality games - not to mention an absence of AAA exclusives - makes the platform slightly less appeali

  • Low cost, Small, efficient, Easily hackable
  • Controller has numerous flaws, Very limited initial game selection, No game pricing in store
  • The initial version of the OUYA shows promise, but it needs a lot of polish before the final retail release if it wants to impress gamers....
