Ouya: The $99 Android-based open-source console on Kickstarter

Hopefully a version 2 will fix these issues if there is one.

I played with mine for a few hours today.

Controller is fine...it's not competing with a Sixaxis or 360 controller though. Uses AA batteries...would have liked a rechargeable option.

The system is a little underpowered. Ravensword Shadowlands, which, I think, is optimized for Tegra 3 stutters horribly, hopefully it will be patched if it can be. Shadowguns is solid, could use a couple more fps.

Otherwise all the games I have tried run great,, and work well with the controller.

The system manual sucks. Took me a few minutes to figure out where to put the batteries (may just be me).

I had some trouble syncing the system and controller (may be me again).

I have run the emulators but have not installed any ROMS yet.

Will pick up a fresh USB drive and or SD card tomorrow.

We need to see much more software yet, but if you enjoy indie games this is awesome. I believe is it succeeds they will be releasing updated models in the same manner as cell phones (annually maybe).

I don't have an Android anything. How easy is it to install emulators? Are they readily available, or do you have to hack the thing somehow?

Pretty much the whole point to the console was to make obscure hacking unnecessary.

It's super easy. In fact they have Rom apps on the play store. However I rarely if ever use emulation period.
