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.http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/story/2012-07-10/ouya-game-console/56118310/1
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.
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?
