You know...I was looking into the Ouya and I think I might do it. Not really liking the way the new Xbox One is shaping up so I may just pick up the Ouya for the $99 to tide me over for a bit and as a more casual system. The price seems really nice and the games, while looking a bit indie for the majority, do seem to be fun looking and plentiful (500 confirmed so far). I would like to see the pricing for them.
I really like that the system allows people to create their own games on it and allow for publishing them on a virtual store. I don't know if you can charge for it but it would be cool to be able to make a buck.
It seems like a cool option and for 99 bucks it's not much of a risk.
I will probably be trying it out.
The actual Ouya site.
I'm a backer of the Ouya Kickstarter. Sadly still waiting for mine to arrive (I backed it with only a day or two left). I actually expect that it will arrive within the next week, so I may be able to comment on it further then.
I have an OUYA and I really enjoy it. The games are good, and they tend to be a dollar or two more than normal tablet games.
Sega has announced sonic CD, Sonic 4 eps 1 and 2.
It is fantastic emulation machine - with emulators for NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA, DS, Genesis, Neogeo, 2600, N64 and others. And it is really cool to play those on the TV rather than the computer monitor.

So when you buy an emulator for, say, the 2600 do you then have to purchase games for that or are they bundled with the emulators?
Having the game in digital form is against the law, unless you rip them yourself. So bundling games is something they cannot do.
Personally I'll download them, but I only download games I own a physical copy of, but I've been collecting games since the Atari 1600 and I don't ever get rid of the tings.
The cost of the emulators have all been free. That is actually part of the OUYA's approach every game has to either
1) Be free (and have micro-transactions or something if the developer wants to make money)
2) Have a free component (I've seen times games, or RPGs that you cannot save unless you purchase it).
The Ouya now has a PS1 emulator up and running. It works - I played some S
Spyro earlier today.
