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
Offering a comfortable button layout and responsive dual analogue sticks. Spin the diminutive Ouya console around
And you’ll discover an impressive range of connections
Including HDMI
USB
Micro USB and Etherne
Open-source approach
Everything's free to download and try
Small
Lightweight and cute
Lots of potential
Future software updates might fix issues

Launch line
Up still unknown

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

Sleek and attractive compact design, Great for modders and indie devs, Inexpensive games, all with playable demos, The possibility of a huge number of exclusive games from the community
Disorganized menus and notifications, You get less than with a smartphone, Limited Launch Library, No access to Google Play
The Ouya is a bold vision realized, created by gamers and funded by gamers. But is it made for gamers? Maybe, but there are already better options available, especially to those that have a new smartphone and access to the Google Play store. The laggy c...
NopeThe Ouya is neat on paper. Stuff an Android device into a little cube, add a controller, and attach it to a TV. Sounds cool. However, the practical reality is that the device isn’t very good. The biggest issue is the game catalog – it’s bad in a ...
Abstract: The Android-based Ouya game console is one of the biggest crowdfunding success stories so far, with nearly $8.6 million raised from eager backers before the system's specs were even finalized. Equally eager private investors brought millions more . But no...

Abstract: The Ouya is on sale today, and I've spent a few days with the final retail unit. For $99, you can get your hands on a cute little cube that runs a selection of Android games, a handful of apps, and is designed for amateur developers to create from home to...
Abstract: After abandoning the OUYA launch party for the pure purpose of getting our OUYA gaming on, we resisted our urge to tear the box in half and performed the obligatory yet often chastized unboxing video . We've seen the Dev Console unboxed, but we couldn't g...

I have to admit, I expected much, much more from OUYA. I backed them to the tune of 2.5x the retail price, had my console delivered after it hit retail, and my Limited Edition username-etched controllers still haven't shipped yet. When a company makes mo...
