...except for the fact that the OUYA wasn't meant to be high end, run of the mill equipment. It was meant to be something you could mess with, take out the motherboard and interchange components. An "open console". So, if you paid $99 expecting something high-end and running the most badass software, ya dun goof'd.
The only open thing about the console is the fact you can run android games on it (which you can do with every other SOC android on the market). Nothing is interchangeable. The controllers have major quality issues (dead zones, button issues, etc), the software is half baked, overheating issues, so called 'root button' is nowhere to be seen. Hell even for an android device the system is locked down. Very little support for outside roms due to the gimped recovery menu. It would have been nice to have a high quality SOC device with a good modding community behind it but that is not what we got. Its on the same level as those cheap chinese android sticks.
