OUYA is coming… and there are some very good reasons you’re going to want one.

First of all, OUYA is tiny and portable. It’s about the size of a Rubik’s cube, but it plays in full-screen 1080p HD using an nVIDIA quad-core CPU.

OUYA powers on instantly.

Need more storage? Just plug in an external hard drive into the OUYA’s USB 2.0 port.

OUYA connects to your wireless network, but if you like to hardwire your Internet? That’s cool. Jack into OUYA’s high-speed ethernet port.

If you want to develop games, just plug your laptop into OUYA’s micro-USB port — anyone can release an OUYA game. And the hardware opens so you can customize OUYA’s internals if that’s the sort of thing you like to do.

Did I mention,OUYA is only $99. Considering OUYA runs XBMC, that’s already a great deal.

When you buy OUYA, you become part of an effort to change how console gaming works.

• OUYA game console

A Controller That’s Hard to Put Down

OUYA’s Wireless Bluetooth Controller will feel immediately familiar, and extraordinary. Hold it and enjoy its weight and balance. The aluminum faceplates are cool to the touch and fully customizable (they’re removable). We’ve tried to build the fastest, most precise game controller around. And it has one special bonus — a touchpad for another way to control things.
