It's time to upend console gaming.

Let’s open this sucker up! It's time we brought back innovation, experimentation, and creativity to the big screen. Let’s make the games less expensive to make, and less expensive to buy. With all our technological advancements, shouldn't costs be going down? Gaming could be cheaper!

We're handing the reins over to the developer with only one condition: at least some gameplay has to be free. We borrowed the free-to-play model from games like League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Triple Town, and many others. Developers can offer a free demo with a full-game upgrade, in-game items or powers, or ask you to subscribe.

Hackers welcome.

Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty). Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!

I saw this during the campaign, I think it may change alot about gaming in the near future. I suspect the ps4 and Xbox 720 or whatever it is will not sell many consoles, and most developers will start to make games for OUYA

Holy shit. This is going places.

they definitely sampled a shout from skyrim for the OUYA sound.

Few of my friends have been laughing at this project and the poor specs of the "console". Why not just buy a HDTV, hook it to your comp/laptop and play with a controller while sitting on the couch? Full, great "next-gen" games even and not something limited to indie/free-to-play status? The whole TV argument is pretty stupid in my mind.
