Ouya founder on unfulfilled Kickstarter orders: 'I am pissed'
Uhrman says she delivered the backers' consoles to her distribution partner in May, but some orders remain unfulfilled.
"I am pissed," Uhrman writes in a Kickstarter update locked to backers only, seen by Games Industry. "Some of you have not yet received your Ouya, and to you, I apologize. I did not promise to ship to most of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to all of you. I've been reading your comments, and we are working to solve this."
Ouya Head of Operations Ken Stephens says backers should expect their Ouyas in 15 to 17 days, as they're shipped from Hong Kong.
Joystiq Reviews Editor Richard Mitchell got his hands on an Ouya Kickstarter model in April, and he found it to be worth the price – noting that it costs $99. He's now playing with the retail model, and he says it's an improvement on the initial version.

slapshot101 At least we know someone who cares is at the head of this company. I think this system might take off in the future, with a bit higher specs.
It defiantly has the potential to eventually take of. It all comes down to how the company pulls it off

i would be mad to if there were supposed to be consoles sold to people that paid for it and it didn't show up when promised because that could get bad ratings and company rep

It's basically for apps...
Really? Doesn't seem worth it to me then.
The other guy's partially correct. Some people have been able to play GTA on it because it runs on an Android OS, and GTA:SA is on the Android OS. You can do pretty much anything an android can with an Ouya. Emulators, Android games, etc.
Honestly, I'd wait a few weeks-months until they fix all the problems with it.
Oh then that seems way better. I more and likely still won't get it as I'm not a heavy gamer like I used to be but it would be pretty cool to play Emulators on it.

Wish I had an OUYA. There extremely cheap, and I can play Pokemon, and Mario, and any other games from emulators.

Sorcery Perhaps they shouldn't have made such unrealistic promises then...
True. Why Don't They Just Make Them In The US, Not In Hong Kong...
