I would rather wait and see how it pans out rather than put my money in now. It's set to launch at $99, isn't it? I see no reason to buy into a prototype, but I guess that's the nature of kick-starter. Good luck to those who bought in.
The money gets taken from your bank when the Kickstarter ends, right?
Edit: Nevermind. Just going for the $99 offer.
They've just increased the $99 tier consoles to 10000 units now. 5143 left at this point, whereas 2 mins ago there was 200 left.
That makes us two.
It's only those who actually back up the project, that'll get it for $99. And there's a limited amount of devices.
Uhrman says. "This is affordable for gamers at the less than $100 price point where all these games are free to play and for developers it is open so whatever they conceive they can finally get onto the television. ... What Kickstarter will allow us to do is get feedback and support early from gamers and developers and have them on board to support this."
We should have a proper Kickstarter thread for Ouya yes.someone should really do a proper thread on this seeing as how much traction it's getting on KS.
Don't the Android games have to be optimized for the higher resolution TVs?

So what emulators currently run well on Android?
Already funded. Holy shit.
It it can run some emulators, color me interested.
By doing some math... 13 hours ?!Mother of god, how many hours has been?
I wonder how many millions there will be by August 9... O__O
yupBest quote:
"The project is also backed by ex-IGN exec Julie Uhrman, former Xbox gaming honcho Ed Fries, and some other top tech folks."
You know it's bad when an ex IGN exec is the first named.
A very capable emulator machine then.
Ehhhh, say what you want about the quality of IGN. It is definitely a successful company.
I would imagine so. At this point you might as well pledge in the 95-99 dollar range just to insure that you get one of these consoles. Pretty amazing. I wonder how much longer this momentum will go on for?Crazy that it is already funded. Where is the extra cash going to go towards? More units?
If it can play 1080p video lag free, I just might go in

Been reading comments around the web and I'm a little worried, it seems most people just want to run emulators on it. How will the developers survive?
They could survive quite nicely if this device gets a good user-base... Which the emulation crowd will see to.
How will the developers survive?
Well, I'm not as optimistic, this is one of the reasons the Android platform is suffering compared to the iOS platform. But I guess we'll see once it is launched.
