Secondly: in a span of 4 hours, I played indie games, party games, kid-friendly games and retrogames (and, also, 2 or 3 really shitty games I'm not going to call out). The total cost of last night's Ouya excursion? Free. Sick of getting dicked around by Triple-A games at Triple-A prices? We now have a viable solution. And while it lacks some of the polish, it makes up for it in ass-in-seats. This thing is a good time, waiting to happen. The potential is there, the company and the developers just have to refine it and deliver.
Lastly and probably most important of all is... The pricetag. The console sells at ~100 dollars. At no time did I feel like I getting ripped off. Hell, if they made no changes to what's already in the box, it still feels like a bargain. The games I previewed, if not free, were minimal in price - hovering around the 5 dollar range. And here's the kicker, all these dirt cheap prices yet I had more fun with Ouya in one night than I can remember with my Xbox360. Ever. And I haven't even begun to dig deep. Ouya, you stupid bitch, where have you been all my life???
