Ouya founder on unfulfilled Kickstarter orders: 'I am pissed'

4.8
The Ouya launched for the public today, and things at retail appear to be going pretty well – Amazon, at least, sold out early on. But Ouya founder Julie Uhrman is "pissed" because some Kickstarter backers haven't yet received their consoles, and she promised they would arrive before the retail version went live.

Uhrman says she delivered the backers' consoles to her distribution partner in May, but some orders remain unfulfilled.

"I am pissed," Uhrman writes in a Kickstarter update locked to backers only, seen by Games Industry. "Some of you have not yet received your Ouya, and to you, I apologize. I did not promise to ship to most of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to all of you. I've been reading your comments, and we are working to solve this."

Ouya Head of Operations Ken Stephens says backers should expect their Ouyas in 15 to 17 days, as they're shipped from Hong Kong.

Joystiq Reviews Editor Richard Mitchell got his hands on an Ouya Kickstarter model in April, and he found it to be worth the price – noting that it costs $99. He's now playing with the retail model, and he says it's an improvement on the initial version.

wok 'i am p!ssed' haha, anyways, my mate got one and said it sucked, every app on the console is on ps apparently.

Ooooh, there's that old saying again, "my mate got one", no he didn't and dont try and lie, you're 3 13 and your friends dad is also the head of microsoft...


I'm sorry but I don't see how having your dad as the head of Microsoft would be a problem, you would have money for days on end. Plus just because he says something doesn't instantly making him 3 or 13 years old, whatever age you said he was.


Apperently you don't get the joke. During arguments, some people might say "My dad works for microsoft/head of microsoft and I can get your account banned".


Ehh I've never heard someone say their dad is the head of Microsoft. I have heard people say they know people who work at Microsoft or other companies to try and scare people but that's about it.


I hear that all the time when I play CoD, The lies people say on the internet is ridiculous.


HEY MAN MY UNCLE WORKS AT COUNTER STRIKE SO SHUT UP!

bigchukka I had seen a video where one of the first people to fund ouya didn't get his. I don't think ill ever buy one.


i think if i get one of these 'app consoles' i will get the one being created by google and android, looks more promising.

Sashagrey Is it just like a emulator for indie games or something or does it actually take discs?


I was wondering the same, but i think its like a marketplace on a console, so i dont think there will be discs for it, not entirely sure though.
