    Upstart technology firm Ouya is developing an under-$100 video game system that connects to the TV, a $16 billion market that has traditionally been owned by Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony and the big-budget titles designed for their consoles.

    With the Android development community, it should be interesting. Especially for under $100

    Or it will be like a Wii where the stand alone box comes with 1 controller which is about as useful as a 1 legged man in an @rse kicking contest.

    I should not be so cynical about these things. It's just that there is always too much spin on the golf ball and I always wind up eating sand. I have to agree with you Mate. It's not the base unit that is pricey. It's those addons. Will be interesting to see what comes out.:)

    Just bothers me that every thing is going digital slowly. I like having physical copies of stuff. Anyone else?

    Nice story Hengis and I hope it comes true but the big money will shut them out. Would I buy one? Yes. Just to see wat it really does, how it performs. I'm not a gamer but it is something I could give to one of the grand nephews or to Iron Maiden's son who is a 30 year old brat. :D

    Hopefully the games aren't within the price range of $60 or so. Sometimes the games are really worth $60 since where are they going to get the money back from spending to design, test, and market the game?
