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
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
Loads of modding and hacking potential
Open platform for homebrew developers
Decent basic hardware

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

The Ouya has huge potential for home developers who might not have the money to submit their games/ apps to Google Play or Apple as there is no fee to submit games to the Ouya store. I don't personally know how much it costs to develop an app for each of...
Sleek design, HDMI connection, Games are all "try before you buy", Fun tinkering potential
Laggy, low quality controller, Weak lineup of games, No Netflix or Amazon, Store interface is cluttered
Oh Ouya, how do you stack up? Your philosophy is so admirable, your price desirable, but what you actually deliver, well it isn't much. We liked At $99/£99 for a controller and system, the Ouya is priced to move. It's also attractive and demure, tiny and...

The Ouya works as an unfiltered indie game repository, and at $99, is a cheap investment. Its free-to-try model for games allows you to assay before you pay
The console has a cheap controller, unstable software, lacks compelling games, has a dearth of useful media apps, and low graphics performance
Despite its low price and free-to-try system, the Ouya fails to reach its potential as a disruptive alternative platform....

Abstract: Ouya is what happens when a bunch of talented people come together and decide it's a good idea to create a console that blends Android, fantastic industrial design and relatively cheap hardware. The end result is one of the most successful Kickstarter pro...
Abstract: The ongoing explosion in independently developed, low-budget video games has been a boon for players who travel. Whether I'm on the road with an iPad, an Android smartphone or a laptop, I know there's a huge library of games to play. When I get home, thou...

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 somet...

Abstract: Aside from the MoGa Gamepad, I also got a chance to play with the OUYA. It started as a project in Kickstarter and it was overwhelmingly supported by a lot of gamers. OUYA is running on a modified version of Android 4.1 and it doesn't have a Play store. O...
Abstract: When it launched on Kickstarter and went on to raise over $8.5 million in crowdsourced funding, the Ouya was heralded as the next revolution in gaming — an inexpensive, Android-based platform where every game is free to try. It's a compelling concept, but...
Esto es solo una parte de lo que la Ouya puede ofrecernos. Por fuera de esta nota quedaron algunos usos posibles, como emulación, XMBC y sideload de apps y juegos externos. En este pantallazo general que hicimos, están algunos de los problemas más importa...
