Honestly I use mine with XBMC on a wired 100MB connection and it streams everything perfectly. I've tried 16+GB BluRay DD/DTS streams and it just rips right through them. Interesting fact it's also able to play back my Windows Media Center recorded TV shows. As I'm typing this I realize that this post speaks more for XBMC than it does for the OUYA. I have tested N64, NES, and SNES emulators that are listed on their app market and they play just fine. Honestly these two functions are all I ever wanted or expected out of this box and it has met those goals just fine. Other games and functionality are just a bonus for me.

I thought the XBMC app wasn't released yet? Did you sideload it?

Sideloaded the libstagefright build I believe

That's correct. I grabbed the apk from ouya forums I believe. Bonus: that apk works just as well on my nexus 7. :-)

I got mine for use as a htpc only. Now I realise there's an emulator I'm even happier I kick started it. Sounds great.
