I still don't get the fascination with a piece of hardware that would've been decent 12 years ago.

Right now, the hardware is more advanced than the developers. The greatest technology con, ever, is that more cores = more power however the limitation is still pipelines, registers and cache. Regardless of the amount of cores, these are still the underlying issues. Right now the limitation is the GPU (just like computers) not the CPU. The Tegra chipset is geared towards this. TV's don't go higher than 1080p so there is no need for 2400x1600 w/ 8x AA. TV consoles aren't PC's. I think OUYA is great. 99 bucks and if/when the next DX/OpenGL come out, release the next OUYA for 99 bucks again. Not 600 that only multi million dollar corps can make games for.

No thanks, I would never waste money on a crappy Android machine when I've got my awesome PC that beats out all consoles 10x over.

It's cheap as chips and will probably make a great HTPC.

Still doubt there will be all that many games developed for it, but it's a good piece of hardware for the money. More powerful than similarly priced set top boxes.

12 years ago i was still using a p2 333mhz processor with a video card that... well... it could play everquest, but had trouble with luclin.

12 years ago, this would have been amazeing for 110$

true, a pII system cost us £2000 back then.

So wrong.

Why the hate? Now you can play Android games on your TV. At $109, its cheap enough to be a kids Christmas present.
