Uh, hey! That miracle console has been shipped to early adopters!
Too bad that it is mostly shit.
From the article, by the great LORD JIM STERLING...

Destructoid: Source Engadget and The Verge:

Ouya demands that any game available for the system must be free to download -- a noble suggestion, but one that leads to every game turning into a money trap. As Pierce notes, "Every game is free to download, but then dumps on your head a load of nags, pop-ups, and pleas for upgrades or in-app purchases -- some games are $4.99, some are $15.99, others just constantly implore you to donate $0.99 so the developer can have a beer."

"Worst of all, it makes buying things impossibly easy," he continues. "You enter a credit card when first setting up your Ouya, and there are often no confirmation boxes or checks against you spending thousands of dollars. Oh, you hit Upgrade because it's right next to Play and the controller's laggy? Perfect. Thanks for your money."

"And then there is, of course, the game selection. There are quite a few titles here worth playing, but virtually all of them have been seen elsewhere in one form or another, which makes the initial offering a bit hard to get excited about. Additionally, the vast majority are what we'd broadly call "mobile" games: simple experiences and simple graphics that are fine for casual play, but lack the kind of immersion you might want when you get settled in at home on your couch."

The response from the Ouya team.
