    Pretty sure you can put XBMC on this and it's supposed to be decent. I might pick one up!

    Thanks OP!

    XBMC is class on this.


    The gaming site of it is ****e though.

    XBMC & Plex, and emulators if you like old skool gaming.

    I sold my Pi 3 days after buying it and got one of these a while back for XBMC.

    It craps all over the performance of the pi for XBMC with the added bonus of retro gaming.

    Don't suppose there's any kind of custom rom which would get rid of the Ouya store rubbish? I'll be concentrating, as you said, on XBMC and emulation.

    I bought one of these on the UK site for £99 last year. Only use it for XBMC and it works very well.

    I've had an Ouya for a while now... I don't know if there are any custom roms yet.... You can boot directly to XBMC though so you won't see the Ouya interface. XBMC runs really well - better than a hacked Apple TV or Raspberry Pi in my opinion... and I've tried them all. I've tried a few emulators and they also work well. The only original game I actually liked is Polarity which is basically a Portal/Portal 2 ripoff... albeit a reasonably fun one. I've pretty much given up on gaming on the Ouya at this stage and am now using it as my main media playback device and have no complaints.

    There's a hack to add the play store.

    Model b, black case, 8GB and card. Have it about 6 months but I've only used it a handful of times. Messed around with xbmc a bit but never fully set it up. Would you be interested?

    I've heard these have issues if you plug them into an amp/receiver with XBMC. Issues with 5.1. True?
    Also, can it be controlled with HDMI-CEC?

    i have one of these - great for XMBC

    Side note if you want it for streaming make sure its near the router.

    the wifi card on it isnt great. if you can plug it into the router even better.

    you can get an app called blueboard (android) on your phone for easy text input.

    some games are good - some are rubbish use it predominantly for XBMC.

    the deal included 25$ worth of game credit if you ordered before midnight last night.

    Despite not really needing this I ordered it anyway :o
    Really should stay away from BA.
