No no, no YOU SIR. YOU'VE changed MY mind, PC's are so FUCKING convenient and appropriate for EVERYTHING!!! Between the wildly scaling prices, manufacturers, memory, CPUs, GPUs, graphics cards, makes, models, dealing with viruses, malware, hackers, software drivers, inexplicable compatibility issues, random Read more

But, again, you, like many others keep falling back on the PC excuses. PCs don't have the price point or form factor of the OUYA. You CAN. NOT. GET. a Steam-ready PC that's a 4x4 inch cube with a bluetooth controller for $99 and a majority of Steam users don't have their PC set up as a living-room set-top gaming box. Read more

If you don't hate yours, why would you feel the need to participate in an active discussion with somebody supporting it by pointing out that it's somehow irrelevant if people already own a PC. PC's are extremely versatile machines, they can play games, they can act as DVRs, they can stream Netflix and HULU, they can Read more

But do people have a PC with the form factor of a 4X4 cube? Do most people leave their PC hooked up to their television? Seriously, why is everybody SO offended by the existence of something so inexpensive, innocuous and perfectly useful for various things? What about the OUYA hate-bandwagon is so damned attractive Read more

"Good" is a relative term. How many of the games on ANY system are "good"? That's up to the end-user and only the end-user to decide, not for you or anybody else to make an arbitrary analysis of. I've got about 50 games sitting on my OUYA at the moment, and I add a few new ones every week from the new additions. To Read more

Raspberry Pi is far FAR from novice useable, the OUYA is plug and play right out of the box. Read more

600+ games with new entries on the market daily. There is no current shortage of games. Read more

Sam Raimi? Well, at least they have an appropriate director attached. Read more

And there's the stock answer that is always received from naysayers. "My friend has one." Read more

It's funny how much positive stuff can get lost in a sea of negative press. Read more

And here is the litmus test for the negative campaign against the console. Do you say what you say as a current owner of an OUYA with a full understanding of what is currently on their marketplace and the vast improvements that the OS has undergone in the last 4 firmware updates, or are you stating your case based on Read more

A bargain priced HD game console that guarantees controller compatibility with 100% of the software on it (something that no other Android platform can claim), an outlet for indie and small studio developers to create and publish software, plenty of excellent software currently on the marketplace with more showing up Read more

I never once stated that revenue streams weren't potentially troubled. I just don't arbitrarily believe that this is a bad idea. If OUYA transitions to a software distribution platform to bolster income as a means of continued subsistence I'm all for it because I've been extremely satisfied with everything they've Read more

Dude, don't bother, as much as I agree with your logic based support of the OUYA, you must realize that Kotaku is essentially running the fucking Spanish Inquisition/McCarthy Hearings/Salem Witch Trials against the company and the platform. No positive aspect of anything OUYA has done will ever be acknowledged for any Read more

I spent many years in electronics and video game retail sales management. If you think that a $100 price difference isn't a significant influencing factor between platforms regardless of performance perks you're kidding yourself. We can just agree to disagree. Read more

Not when the console itself is $100 cheaper than the alternative. It just creates more financial in-roads for them and all of the developers publishing on the platform. It's a pretty pro-dev move IMO. If the OUYA people have crunched
the numbers and think that this is a good move, who are we to argue with them? Well, Read more

A decision for them to make more money through a potentially expanded user-base doesn't make sense to you? Of course it doesn't when there's an opportunity for Kotaku to continue their crusade against the upstart company. Read more

What's the worst is that there's absolutely ZERO evidence as to who is doing it. Moderators and administrators are phantoms. There's no indication on profiles as to who has the ability to remove comments which leaves those of us who frequently have civil yet negative commentary "removed" powerless to convey our Read more

The Arkham storyline has it's own comic lore, they've done like, 4 or 5 trade paperbacks for that "universe". I don't believe any other DC continuity affects it. Read more
