    It's a no for me. Those type of console just don't appeal to me. But it does look very interesting

    Hey thanks for pointing me to that direction, VS. I'll definitely keep my eye on it. A hundred bucks, and a chance to modify it seems like a steal compared to other consoles. And no royalties for Sony or M$, either! I wonder where the final price will settle. And more importantly, what will the games cost. Does anyone have an idea about that? It says it will be based on Android OS... so I'll guess the prices will vary from $0 up. :p

    I'm a bit reserved, but excited nonetheless. So I'll vote for maybe at this point, though I'd say that I'm probably getting it!

    Well, I'm doing concept art on a game which is being developed for it atm (an rpg, can't say anymore), and they plan to release it for about $4, for about 8 hours of gameplay? This is an episode game, though, so $4 per episode. Of course, it all depends on how things go...

    Would that be the Dark Aspect..? Don't mean to pry, but I've seen your art. Looks good, by the way. Especially your landscapes!

    Thanks. :) No, Dark Aspect will be for PC. This next one should be announced soon, it's a low-fantasy (little magic) RPG.

    How exactly do AAA titles and powerful hardware fit into "cheap everything"?

    I very much admire their approach (Hackers welcome etc.) but, unless I misunderstood the concept, this is a digital-only service? I do not support a digital-only future for gaming. Hard copy or no sale.

    Why do you think that way? Can you name a few reasons?

    Well, I can.

    A hard copy has awesome artwork, comes with a physical manual, is 'safer' than a digital copy (which may corrupt, disappear), and just feels like you own something, like your money was well-spent.

    I only get very few games hard copy now. Yes, feeling that it's YOUR game is a good feeling, but is the missing 60$ also that? I tend to go with the more budget friendly russian cd keys. I got black ops for 16$, about 1/3 of the retail price.

    I don't like consoles, simply. I've had an Xbox for a very very long time. Old Xbox. Many years old, but when I discovered the PC, I never grew tired of gaming.

    Seconded + if the game's shit, I can at least get some of my money back by selling it on eBay. Also, I'm a video game collector.

    The problem with digital is that you don't know what you're buying. For instance, I bought SkyDrift for 1200MSP on x360 last year. A few weeks later they release add-ons; two 108kb keys for two planes & multiplayer exclusive maps. In other words, I was cheated out of content despite having paid full price. That was the last straw and I haven't bought any digital items ever since, nor am I planning to ever again. Yes, 108kb unlock keys also happen with hard copies but at least those are hackable (a piece o' piss on PC). And, just so that we're on the same page, digital is fine but only if it's optional.

    I already have a PS3 on my wish list,I just have to play The Last of Us.
    If this Ouya has a game which appeals to me I shall definitely buy it.
