A New console for Under $100

A new startup is looking to battle Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo in the living room with a brand-new console with an inexpensive price point.

Ouya, built on a custom-based Android operating system targeted to launch early next year, is open to any developer looking to publish a game. The developers also set pricing; the one catch is that every game must have a free portion available, whether through a demo or free-to-play model. The console also supports other Android apps, such as TwitchTV, which comes included.

Lost me at Android. You have no idea how fucking irritated I am with Android fanboys (95% of them at a guess) these days.

No experience with Android, so i have little input on the matter. Good concept.....possibly, as an indie console for casual gamers.....but I know little on the matter

Me either, but see anything Apple or iOS related anywhere and they all come out of the woodwork wishing death upon all, as if Steve Jobs had shagged their dead grandmothers before he kicked it himself. Really spiteful shit. Even the poor Kairosoft Facebook page is full of them because they dare make their simple little sim games for both platforms.

The console is essentially the next step up from an iCade, IMO. Tablets can already do these things, like hook up to a TV through HDMI and use third party controllers. It's just all in one box.
