May 2014 Pick ups
Ozzy_98:
hell, even knowing what it does, how it works, and how to make a better setup (Like my arcade machine), I've still been tempted to get one.
Think of it as a gateway drug to emulation. Soon I'll have you using hi-res texture packs in Zelda on N64
KMSoulja:
Got this today from game stop. I work at walmart & they had it there but my boss refused to sell it to me because the register kept asking for a serial number for the game even though it doesnt have one. He could have easily over-ridden the promt on the register but he told me that because of it, I wouldn't be able to buy the game today. So I said that I'll just go to damn game stop then it's just across the street. They try to sell you shit you don't need there but atleast they're nice about it.
Megatron:
So this hasn't arrived yet, but it's apparently on its way:

When I took my receipt yesterday to get the difference back...ARGh, i missed that deadline by a 4 days. I haven't even had time to open it, so I guess that'll will be my first May pick-up...when i get around to picking it up off the desk and plugging it in.
Do we have a "ON SALE/CLEARANCE" thread where we can put this information?

For those of you with OUYA's, is it worth it for that price? I'm on the fence.

If you're looking for a way to conveniently emulate then I'd say it's not worth it. Anything above Snes will wrestle the hardware to its knees and SNES and Genesis games have rare hickups too. But when you put XBMC on it, the Ouya becomes a neat little media center and streaming box. And since it's very small and uses bluetooth you can place it behind the TV or hide it somewhere out of sight.
I use it to listen to internet Radio, watch live tv, stream tv shows and movies and I like it. But as a gaming machine I'd say not worth it. You'll have more fun with a Windows Phone 8.
