Who knows, the next iteration could be a MASSIVE improvement and prove to be able to compete with the next get consoles.
The cheapness factor goes away when you need to pay another $100 every year. I dont understand how it is versatile. Yes, it could be a lot of fun, but why not just hook your phone up to the TV? And the next iteration wont be a massive improvement because they are limited to cell phone technology. Consoles use PC technology.
Where does it say that you have to buy the latest version in order to enjoy using the console at all?
It doesnt, but what are you going to do when the new one comes out and the new games require the new consoles specs?
They say that the hardware opens up and you can do your own upgrades as with a PC. I doubt a lot of the games will be requiring the maximum specs (OUYA isn't really marketing towards the hardcore graphics crowd) and if you really need an upgrade in a couple years you can do it yourself.
What I'm more interested in is Twitch. I still don't have a good way to stream to my TV without hooking up a laptop via HDMI because my Samsung Smart TV is one without a browser. > $100 to stream and have casual games I can play with friends (and wife) is gonna be a no brainer for me.

not to say that it isn't worth $100 for other reasons, but i have 10+ devices in my home that can do that, no need to buy another one
You have 10 devices that can do that?! Good for you! How does that improve my situation?
edit: Kinda douche answer, but you set yourself up for it. I clearly meant its worth it for that alone -for me-. I have no other way to easily stream to my tv. Also, its not a website, but an app made for improved performance on android devices (right now its actually just a straight clone from the one they have in the play store for mobile phones, which works fine, except you can't adjust the resolution for the stream (its stuck on max as far as I can see)).
And yes, it obviously does other things too. I haven't had time to try out the other aspects of it yet.

I don't think too highly of the Ouya myself but I think you should think about what you're doing right now and ask yourself why.

Dude, seriously. Any normal person should be able to look at his own posts and figure out why other people think he's a dick, even more so when people are pointing it out too you. If you still don't understand it, I suggest lessons in socializing.
I don't mind discussing the merits of the Ouya. But not to someone who come across as elitist in his posts.

i will help you understand 1. necro says ouya is worth purchasing for one specific reason 2. i disagree, provide example why (but leave open for dialogue about other possible reasons which i'm sure exist for purchasing) 3. necro gets offended (but edits to a more graceful post) 4. you guys get offended on behalf of necro (still for no good reason)
you guys are up in arms for no reason, please calm yourself

*sighs* you still don't seem to get this. Its not about what your intentions are, but how you come across. The way you write your posts make you come across as elitist, thus you annoy whoever you're writing too, and get annoyed answers back. This is doubly so on the internet where you can't read facial expressions or tone.
This is a very simple concept.
I'm done offtopic'ing though. I can't be arsed to give out lessons on how to socialize to grown ass (presumably) men. back to the Ouya:
Already some things I've started to notice. The software isn't too stable, especially in the market menu. I've managed to crash twice on downloading apps. And you crash 100% of you start downloading it, and then click "back" (guessing the download in background feature isn't properly in place yet). You also should be able to bring up a mouse somehow. Like I mentioned above, you can't adjust quality on thw twitch.tv app because you can't click on the button, and no button on the controller is assigned to it. If you could bring up a mouse pointer whenever you wanted too, you could bring over a lot of apps straight from the Play Store without big adjustments.
edit: Well. Nevermind everything I just said. There's a touchpad I honestly didn't know about. It brings out a mouse when you touch it..
$100 to stream and have casual games I can play with friends (and wife) is gonna be a no brainer for me.
