I'm disappointed too, I really did think this Ouya console would be fun, both for under-the-TV/transportable emulation, as well as access to the Android gaming catalogue. There's also another one coming soon, called the "GameStick", it's only a dualcore A9 and a dualcore Mali400 but it at least comes with a controller.

~edit~

My apologies, it seems Tegra3 *does* support NEON. It was the earlier Tegra chips that didn't.

@Interinactive Did you paid any fees to DHL?

Some guy had to pay $150 in fees from Brazil!
http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?2741-International-OUYA-Backers-getting-charged-extra-Customs-charges
Quote:
Brazil - $150+ (image)
Canada - $22.00
Denmark - $25.00
France - 13,00€
Germany - 12,83€
Italy - 17,23€
Spain - 44,98€
Sweden - $27.00
United Kingdom - £16.64


It's kinda fucked up. They shipped the console by most RETARDED shipper, I mean DHL can literary go fuck themselves.

Pretty sure international backers had to pay extra $20 for shipping ( no idea why, when all units are coming from HK anyway) and now most of them need to pay custom fees, one from Brazil & Spain and ridiculous.

I guess "We have our 8 mil, and well go fuck yourselves" That is the message that I was getting the entire time from shipping delays to nonexistent communication.

Btw, pretty good read.

Hopefully, I will have time on Friday and it's going on ebay.

At least here I can post my little rant, and go on my business like nothing happened. Imagine I would post my frustration on r/ouya or that forums, I would quickly get ridiculed how this is "beta product" "not final release" and other nonsense that I have been reading there.

You are lucky. I sold it on ebay but payer is not going to pay. Stupid fuck. Waste of my time.

All I see is ebay protecting buyers all of the time, how about they start protecting sellers finally from douchebags and scammers but nope.

With the release being tomorrow, I won't be able to relist item for another 3 days. I hope value won't drop so quick as people will see how shitty of the device it actually is.

Well that's one company some people won't be supporting ever again. Really quite disgusting behaviour, to be frank, there's no excuse for it.

Ashens reviews the Ouya. I love Ashens' videos Very Happy He picked this one up from a second-hand shop, haha! Someone bought it, didn't like, then took a fucking humongous loss and sold it to Cash Generator or Cash Converters Laughing

Basically they all thought; "WOW! An Android console that connects to my television! I really want this! MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!" and then when it arrived, they were just like; "Oh.. it's just an Android console that connects to my television Sad"

A year ago, when this was announced, it was amazing. Sadly for Ouya; that was a year ago and as I showed to Inter at the top of the page; the Ouya's hardware has been devastated already - and at a cheaper cost too. I really do feel bad for the Ouya team because they had a wonderful idea that should have really taken hold, but they're just not as fast as the Chinese market Very Happy

Buying an Ouya today, at €100/£100/$100 simply doesn't make sense.

http://www.shacknews.com/article/80334/mad-catz-plans-android-console-mojo

Quote:

Mad Catz is also getting in on the Android microconsole business, vying for the same audience that Ouya is currently targeting. The "Mojo" is a miniature Android TV-connected console that comes with its own controller. However, unlike Ouya, it runs stock Android and supports both Google Play and Amazon Appstore marketplaces.

Because Mojo is a "standard" Android device, games previously purchased on those stores will be downloadable to the device. However, there is a caveat: "not all touchscreen games will work." Whereas Ouya games are optimized for that platform, Mojo simply runs Android apps.

"We're going down a very different road to the competition and believe in being open, honest and fair with the consumer," Mad Catz' Alex Verrey told CVG. "We're not offering a walled garden with a small selection of a hundred or so games. We're not forcing gamers to use our controllers if they don't wish to, we're not trying to sell services or software, nor are we forcing the gamers into a walled garden. Our commitment to the gamer is simple: We're going to deliver the most powerful Android based Micro Console on the market when we launch later this year."

Although Mojo is compatible with other Bluetooth controllers, Mojo will include its own controller that Mad Catz believes one-ups the competition. Verrey claims that other controllers are "generally very laggy," citing a response rate of up to 100ms. Mojo's controller, on the other hand, is 7ms.

Mad Catz is aiming to launch Mojo this holiday, although has yet to set a price. As CVG points out, because the company won't generate revenue on app sales, the hardware cannot be subsidized.


I guess this gives the Ouya a bit of competition?

I guess they thought hardware is what sells consoles, completely neglecting software support. I was going to pick one up, since it's so cheap. Good thing I didn't back it.

I'm not even going to give this its own thread, it's the same kind of device as the Ouya only 150% more expensive in order to accommodate the Tegra4. $250... ffs... I guess the major "plus" is that this supposedly has PC streaming. Oh and it's not locked down to Ouya Store either, you can get titles from TegraZone, Amazon and PlayStore.

God, $250? I can buy PS3+GTA V bundle for that price.

After Ouya fiasko, I will never get another android console. While it might sound nice and all, it's just not worth it at the end of the day.
