[QUOTE=Van-man;39003557]Only selling point I can see, is powerful yet cheap little box for running emulators on.

Making one of my otherwise portable devices stationary and requiring additional accessories such as MHL adapters, USB Host devices and Bluetooth Controllers B.) Rooting my consoles (risking a ban online). Again, I don't need the i7 and the 680GTX in the living room and I definitely don't want to spend a thousand dollars building one.[/QUOTE] Why don't you mention your PC one more time? I'm sure people care and aren't annoyed by you.

I'm really considering purchasing one of these for old school gaming on a high-def TV, and the RPi + [url=http://shortcrust.net/]ShortCrust[/url] for small home-server usage. Wouldn't be all that bad a deal either.

This isn't meant for you ~hardcore gamers~. Its made for people who enjoy the typical smartphone games, and who want to play shit like Angry Birds on their TV - whilst also being able to browse the web and watch videos.

I want one

I ordered one.

[QUOTE=Daniel M;39003194]A lot of people are saying I should just get the Raspberry Pi but the thing is, this is the all-in-one solution, [B]works out of the box[/B]. I won't need to buy adapters, I won't need to buy a mouse/keyboard and I will probably get a better experience than I would using Linux from the couch on a 60 inch television. Not to mention it's enclosed rather than being a motherboard you just have sitting around, definitely a pro in my household.[/QUOTE] wait wait wait aren't you the guy that constantly ignores the main reason that people buy iphones and you're now talking about out of the box experience?

Tegra 3 driving 1080p displays is not going to be a pretty sight especially using Android, I hope they have some heavy optimisation going on!

[QUOTE=Daniel M;39003050]There's a lot of hate towards it. People don't understand the potential of it and they're thinking that it will run DayZ/Skyrim. [editline]28th December 2012[/editline] HorizoN, you rated my post dumb but didn't give a solution to my issue. Explain to me how using the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (lacks video output), Wii (only supports up to 720P, upscaled with a third party adapter), Playstation 3, Xbox 360 I can A.) play all my media formats (music/video) B.) play MAME and console emulated games in the living room without A.) rooting my consoles and risking a ban from online play or C.) making my otherwise portable devices, stationary Also don't say "bring out the PC" because it's upstairs, it's unnecessary and I don't want to have to haul down my 15lb PC whenever my wife and kids that stay at home all day want to watch movies/play games.[/QUOTE] I streamed movies and music from my PC to my PS3 when I needed to. I guess it has an advantage with emulated games, but honestly, from my experience with Android emulators I'd rather just buy a long ass HDMI cable and some wireless controllers and use my PC.

At-least Nvidia is actively contributing to getting Linux up and running on Tegra, and it (Tegra) also has far more grunt. Not to mention it has already proven it's performance with android. Now if it were one of the "android sticks" with the Freescale i.MX 6 Quad-core processor, then it would be a [B]WHOLE[/B] other story.

I think I'll wait a little bit before picking one of these up to see what developers come up with on it.

[QUOTE=CommieTurtle;39004497]I think I'll wait a little bit before picking one of these up to see what developers come up with on it. It's certainly powerful enough to play every PS2 and original xbox game.[/QUOTE] There's barely a decent PS2 emulator for PC.

[QUOTE=Van-man;39004504]There's barely a decent PS2 emulator for PC.[/QUOTE] Damn you :v: , I just edited my post after doing some research and finding that it was difficult to emulate PS2s.

[QUOTE=Van-man;39004504]There's barely a decent PS2 emulator for PC.[/QUOTE] My guess is that you've had bad experiences with it, but the most recent developed upon PS2 emulators work just fine on my two machines, albeit not super great on my netbook. [editline]28th December 2012[/editline] Oh, and believe it or not, both run ATi/AMD GPUs. [editline]28th December 2012[/editline] Open source drivers too.

I prefer my consoles to have a cartridge port or a CD drive. Not this tiny little thing which will definitely get lost very quickly.

And I'm sick and tired of having to change the physical game media on/in the console itself.

Damn non-symetrical controllers. My hands are symertrical the controller should be. [SUB]Dont reply with a comment about keyboard & mouse, those are not designed primarily for gaming and the input methods are different anyway.[/SUB]

I was going to agree with the symmetrical controller thing, but then I realized I'm not really holding the controller symmetrically much of the time since the buttons have different degrees of relevancy. The old fat xbox controller was the most comfortable one I've used, I think.

So... it's the game-playing aspects of a smartphone, without the portability of one? Using a TV to play mobile games sounds like using an HD monitor to play text adventures. I just don't see what niche this can fulfill.

They should just call it the DevBox or the E-Cube. OUYA is all vowels n shit.

It's going to fail as a conse due to a lack of games. It's going to fail as a HTPC due to the hardware. It's just going to fail as an alternative to the current systems as it provides no benefits over them.
