    • OUYA: Indie gaming console

      Hello everyone,
      Well surprised that this isn't on a thread yet but there is a new console coming out in March 2013 called OUYA

      It will be android based and will be mostly made for anyone to create an indie game, They are going to get minecraft and twitch.tv on it. Most games will be free to play or will at least have a demo and you could actually buy the game for the full version. Even though it is a android based system if you root it (some people will know what that means) it won't void the warranty however you can't get access to the game store if said system is rooted. Best part is it will only be about 80 euros Also the game is completely funded by fans here Kickstarter of OUYA I donated towards it and hope you do too

      Here are the specifications
      Display Spoiler

      Tegra3 quad-core processor
      1GB RAM
      8GB of internal flash storage
      HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
      WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
      Bluetooth LE 4.0
      USB 2.0 (one)
      Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
      Android 4.0

      Lol.... Rooted Gameconsole + games = easier free games....

      Also the OUYA is gonna fail hard when the bigger companies come with their Next-Gen Stuff.

      Actually it says the gamestore won't be available if it is rooted :/

      Also I do believe it does have a chance of failing but however it shows it might not since the games will be cheap/free also the system is cheap, This system is also being backed up by nVidia which also shows it has a chance

      you don't know the good ol .apk trick with android phones? They are so stupid for making it run on Android , their security against Piracy is nil. :V . They should have thought about it.

      xD true I don't have exactly the most legal apps.. but they will probably find some way around it... the USB may not even be able to transfer files, but I'm not sure

      xD very true.. well would be hard to prevent it cause all games will be downloaded since there is no plans for a disk tray

      I'm interested as hell. Since I love Indie/casual gaming. I would buy this console if it were out right now.

      I don't know what I will think once it's out. 2013.

      Really do I agree, I love to do indie gaming. I do have high hopes for it... did email their "press" email asking some questions.. Will update if they respond
