I'm sure you've all seen this and I know its not plug-n-play like the Ouya but the Pi seems to be capable of more than just wheezing through some video playback

I think the mentioned products above are not comparable to OUYA. My main purpose for an android device will be using XBMC and play casual games on a bigger screen then my HTC One X (for other gaming I use my PS3). I did some research in finding devices which are more compareable:

Mele a200 $69 http://dx.com/p/mele-a2000-1080p-and...ifi-4gb-131566
MK803 $69 https://www.miniand.com/products/MK8...id%20Mini%20PC
ATV1200 $100 http://www.geniatech.com/pa/atv1200.asp
Minix NeoX5 $100 http://www.minix.com.hk/Products/NEOX5.html
XIOS DS $115 http://www.pivosgroup.com/xios.html

This list might be a lot longer (I know there are more boxes, but I can't remember the names or keywords I used), please feel free to extend the list.

I'm still not sure what device to buy, for now the OUYA has plus 1 looking at the big community and XBMC announced support for it...

I thank you for your contribution, however I was limiting the main list to items that are easily accessable and well known for comparison. If we wanted to, we could just compare Ouya to every single Android device out there, however, the average user (who this thread was created for) isn't going to do all this digging to find all these different models and spend the time comparing them. They will in almost every respect, go with a name brand they recognize, hence the items chosen for the main list. I think everyone else responding is also failing to realize that, while yes, this is xda-developers, and we're all pretty Android savvy, and yes, the Ouya is targeted easily for us, it's biggest challenge is going to be the public market that doesn't know jack about Android or the difference between iOS and Android and will be shopping for gadgets like this in the coming future.

I bought one of them Mk808 USB stick to setup as an HTPC for my family and beside the poor WiFi signal of that model, it's great. Flashed it with latest 4.2.2 and it run smooth. My family don't care if its Android, just that it work, this means easy to use, YouTube, Adobe Flash support, videos playback. This will be the same for consumers who will buy the Ouya.

I have a Nexus 7 right now with Tegra3 chip, I think the Ouya will perform just fine.

I will get an Ouya when it get CyanogenMod rom/support (my minimum requirement for any Android device).
