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.

Jakeston Only $100? That's amazing! Now I gotta go buy one. Haha.
Apparently the Ouya has been having some problems. I will likely still get one though

I may be buying one for my little brother or something but I doubt it will support many games I like to play today.

ShadowBoltDashieSashagrey Is it just like a emulator for indie games or something or does it actually take discs?
Ok after searching Google Images, there doesn't look like a place for a CD at all, not even if it's a small CD. The back has a bunch of ports.
This is what the back looks like.

I couldn't see a console as small as the Ouya take any form of card or disc for a game. It may take a micro SD card but that's about it

I was wondering the same, but i think its like a marketplace on a console, so i dont think there will be discs for it, not entirely sure though.
From what other people have told me on here, it's like an emulator and something that plays apps. It doesn't exactly look big enough for CD's unless they are the GameCube disk size but even then I don't think it would be big enough.

The 'console' is basically a terrible version of a smartphone. I believe the Samsung Galaxy S3 has better specs than it. It's great if you want to be able to emulate games and such on a big TV. e.g; old pokemon and zelda from GBA and such. Other than that, it isn't worth much.

I don't know but this looks pretty cool but I would wait a couple years to buy it for they can fix the bugs

I had seen a video where one of the first people to fund ouya didn't get his. I don't think ill ever buy one

I'm pretty sure the Ouya is not going to take any form of Disc or Card. It will all be done through downloads
