Ouya Now Accepting Non-Kickstarter Preorders
If you didn't catch Ouya's Kickstarter, you can still preorder from the console's official website.
Android indie console Ouya has just finished successfully fundraising for its Kickstarter, which closed at $8,596,475, garnering the console the second spot on the most-raised spot in Kickstarter.
For whatever reason, if you didn't get a chance to throw your money into the Kickstarter, you still have a chance to preorder the console before it lands next year. You can find the preorder details at Ouya's website.
The preorder will set you back $109 if you're in the U.S. and $119 international, just a tad pricier than Kickstarter adopters who are only shelling out $99. You'll be paying for the console, along with one controller. Unfortunately, Kickstarter donors have a leg up on those who preorder now, as they'll be getting the console in March 2013, a whole month before current preorder customers.
The Ouya was first dubiously received earlier when it was unveiled just a few weeks back. However, the well-known industry names behind the console, along with a clever deal with OnLive, has turned many doubtful about the indie console's success into believers.
It's cheap as chips and will probably make a great HTPC.
Still doubt there will be all that many games developed for it, but it's a good piece of hardware for the money. More powerful than similarly priced set top boxes.
12 years ago i was still using a p2 333mhz processor with a video card that... well... it could play everquest, but had trouble with luclin.
12 years ago, this would have been amazeing for 110$
true, a pII system cost us £2000 back then.
So wrong.
