Ouya Dev Kit unboxing

4.5
Dev Kits of the Ouya console are being sent to developers ahead of its announced release for March 2013.
Funded by Kickstarter the Ouya console plans to shake up the traditional console market by being cheap, customisable and allowing you to try all games before you buy them. Ouya is built on Android so support for it will deffinately be strong, and games should be plentyful.
The Console itself is very small, approx the size of a Rubix cube. Users and Devs are being enouraged to open the console case and mod it as they like.

Ouya box contains:
Ouya Console
2 Controllers (+Batteries)
Micro USB Cable
HDMI Cable
Universal Power Supply


Here are a couple of videos for anyone interested in knowing more.

To be completely honest, this console looks like it has nothing special.

barker212 Im very confused. At this size it wouldnt be powerful enough to play games like far cry or battlefield. Effectivley it becomes a ds or psp but not portable


The OUYA wasn't designed to play high tech games. It was designed for the indie environment to grow, xbox has a lot of indie games yes, but they're is so many things you have to go through to be able to put your indie game on the xbox. The OUYA was designed to be simple to do this, and not go through a long process of doing it. You'll mostly see games like minecraft(already confirmed), and a lot of android games because this uses android, and many other indie games. You might but probably will not see big developers make games for this. But you never know maybe they want easier game making too. Every game on the console has to have a free version of it. That's pretty much the only limitation on devs. Could be just a demo, or a F2P game like TF2.

If the community is big enough on the ouya, I'd buy it just for TF2 and Mine craft.

It's open. For the user to do with as they please. This is a step in the right direction regardless. You have my support.

SovietRussia I don't think Ouya will ever amount to much compared to the other pre-established consoles. I also think it's quite over-priced.


Yeah, I'm sure, but it sounds interesting to me.. Also sounds more like an ipod or something rather than a console though. :)
