The Ouya console has been announced.

Don't know what the Ouya is?

Well it's the smallest console, easily transported from friend's house to friend' house. It requires no disks therefore they can't be scratched or have to be bought.

You will be able to download games directly to this console the size of a Rubik's cube. So you'll have to use a credit or debit card in order to set up a account to download.

Just like a certain program that has destroyed physical PC games..OH I know Steam!

Ouya makers have promised favorite franchise such as Final Fantasy brought to you in full screen HD. It will use a nVIDIA quad-core CPU and outputs via HDMI to sum it up to a stunning 1080p resolution!

And for only a 100$ why the hell not give this a shot! A lot cheaper than buying a new xbox 360 or ps3! www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-ouya,28zu0

Don't get me wrong I still have my reservations but this game can support up to 4 gamers at once with Bluetooth controller.! Has built in a wirless.

Oh yeah!

And most importantly if you want to develop games, just plug your laptop into the micro-USB port and anyone can release an OUYA game!

This thing has pretty sweet specs!
Memory: 1GB Ram
CPU: nVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core
Storage: 8 GB Internal Flash Storage (Of course this expandable via USB Port)
Connectivity: Wifi (802.11 b/g/n), Ethernet port, and Bluetooth
USB: One USB 2.0 port, one micro USB port
Output: HDMI (up to 1080p HD)

The only downsides I'm seeing are what's the library going to consist of and of course how big the games are. These are obviously small prices to pay to give this thing a shot for 100$. I can always buy a external hard drive, which on xbox 4gb would cost you at least another 129.99$ totaling over 300$.

Plus I am still unsure about the library but if this takes of who knows what could happen to the library? There is a unofficial list of games surfacing online promising some fun arcade adventures. Such as Minecraft as well! This could be a strong launch!

The biggest thing about this that separates it besides price is the idea that Steam will be compatible on this console. Meaning my Steam library will be able to be played on my ouya console. This leaves me wondering will the graphics be better than my pc? And 8GB won't hold one of my steam games!

Still many questions on the Ouya but for a 100$ I'm on the band wagon and willing to believe this console has as much potential as all next gen. consoles.

Stay tune for more details as they become available!
