OUYA: We understand the disappointment in not being able to receive the Sky Blue console as described during the Kickstarter campaign. We are working directly with the OUYA team to arrive at a positive solution for our backers (like a different/upgraded console + a bonus controller). We will have final information and specs shortly.

Hmm... I feel like they're getting trolled.

"Like a different console".

Like a GamePop ? :p

Imagine the backers faces if they opened their parcels only to find a GamePop instead of a Blue SE Ouya.

I imagine this would be their reaction:

P.S. Did you guys notice the timing Reading Rainboy gave for being able to provide backers with the specs of this New Ouya, lines up with the timing of Nvidia's March 3rd announcement. Cue X files music.

thanks now i'm going to be stuck here wondering if there was a guy in the bear costume when he picked it up or it was stuffed.
Clearly they used a catapult to launch the bear in the air.
Lou wasn't THAT strong.
but he was strong enough to pick up a dude in a bear costume.

There can only be one explanation for this "coincidence"- ALIENS.

Damn aliens. They need to leave the human race alone. Sooner or later I'm going to get the gumption to call the Men In Black.

Now I'm even more confused.

If the reason was they didn't get the information to get the blue units manufactured "in time" (in time for what?) wouldn't the first thing to do be to contact the blue unit orderers and tell them how much time it would take now and see if they're ok with that?

When has rationality ever played a part in the OUYA scene?

Hmmm, Saw this in the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter comments today:
Maybe Schiz can elaborate further

"Bob M about 9 hours ago
JRoss I received a response from Kristi saying that they would be sending my refund request to accounting for processing a couple of days ago. She promised to get back to me when it was processed. I'm surprised to hear they have not been responsive as Kristi got back to me same day each time I reached out regarding the status of the Ouya and my request for a refund.
I do have to say that I'm pretty disappointed that the "New Ouya" they e-mailed everyone about a few weeks ago appears based on today's e-mail to be just the regular retail Anthracite Ouya that Target sells. The "new" controller isn't really new as far as design considering it's been on sale at Target and Best Buy for almost a year now, although it's not the same one they provided to their KS backers at launch. I guess some of us read too much into it thinking it would be the long rumored Ouya 2 or at least something with better specs (memory or processor) than the same old Ouya that many of us already own. In any event, I would reach out to Kristi again as she seems very helpful."
