Judging by the games requested by its backers there will be a lot of annoyed backers as many have requested games like modern warfare 3 and other ps3 or xbox 360 console titles.

They seem to think it will be that kind of console, it won't. Good system but those kind of backers will be dissapointed.

They mention that rooting wouldn't void your warranty, but what would rooting the ouya actually allow to do?

seriously, i don't see future for this. now every android-based device can run a lot of games, and more are coming. and stationary consoles like xbox and ps have much more to offer, but it comes with higher price, but it's a trade-off. Good luck though!!
For me it's a rival for Nexus Q, and the features are so huge. Imagine using a vnc in LAN playing your favourite MMO in the TV or watching your films of your pc with a lan shared folder or as a multimedia player or only to play angry birds...

Cool but..

It's running the same graphic chipset as my HTC One X - not sure it would be worth it, but i know the focus is on the devs for this so yeah fair enough

Personally, I'm very interested in this. I know people that have PS3 and 360 and maybe even a Wii and PSP. What's $100 for an open source device that will more than likely sync with your Android phones, and tablets, as well as your Nexus Q. If they can get a serious following and development, I think it's the start of something we've never thought of before.

I'm not sure if anyone else sees it, But I honestly think that we owe a lot to Android concerning the rapid improvement in mobile technology. All that innovation. his will only add to it.

why market it as a gaming console? Why not a multimedia device that can do Netflix, youtube, or any of the 600,000 apps in the android market? There are four TVs in my household. We already have a PS3. But I can see a use for the Ouya for the other 3 TVs.

I already have a slew of Android phones around the house, and the android tv (?) lol. I'm in the market for one or two more phones and possibly a Nexus 7 and/or Xoom tab. Why not go all out and get a Nexus Q and a Ouya!? I'm game for it.

That was exactly my thought. A gaming/multimedia device. It would be a perfect little device for that. As far as hardware it's nothing amazing. Most current Android phones already easily pair with controllers and output via hdmi to tvs. So hopefully the games come through for it to push it over the top.

I'd also like to see it have 2gb of ram, because 1 will be/already is old news.
