This update is indeed a step in the right direction :)
The first thing to say I find missing is that along with the line "includes in-app purchases", to really help avoid bad surprises, there is absolutely the need for an "includes DRMs" or "This game requires constant connection" line.
Less importantly, the lines in Play should have been more instead of less: vertical scroll instead of horizontal (grid-like) would have been an improvement imo.
The Favorites display is a great feature, sort of like Pins on the Xbox 360. Nice work on this firmware update!
I just downloaded it and, I've got to say, this might be the console's best update yet. I really like the download manager as I can now select where to put my purchase.
they've been working hard here, a very good update.
Chupacabra installed here too. I took the time to backup my super RAM expanded Jackalope before upgrading though.
Everything is so much better with this one, I just need more time to get used to this level of awesomeness.
2 things I particularly love : Thanks to the new "favourite" feature, sideloaded apps can be launched from the Play menu, so sideloading is de facto a feature.
And secondly, for us European users, the bug that kept showing us prices in USD in when using the Buy button is now gone.
Congratulations to the team that gave us this cool goatsucker to play with.
I just put some of my sideloaded apps to my favourites and i cant start them on my play page via the U button (shows "Free Download" instead of "Launch") but have to start them via their Details page.
Big update with big visual improvements but it didnt ask me about the update like it should have i already tweeted this issue to playouya the menus do run a bit slower tho
Something they can hopefully adjust for the next update, it's still a great improvement.Quote:

I keep seeing prices in USD(?). It's ok though, especially if they do as PSN/SEN where they just change the $ symbol with a € one (or £ in UK).Quote:

Also, I use my Ouya mostly disconnected, so since the games' info aren't cached it would be useless to me to pass through that screen :)Quote:

Bravo, Ouya staff!
