UK retailer GAME is to sell the Android-powered Ouya console, with pre-orders open now.
The console will retail at £99, with an additional controller running at £39.99.
Ouya will offer a free trial of every single game on the marketplace, which is a neat idea. Square Enix, NAMCO, Tripwire and Adam Saltsman, creator of Canabalt, are lined up to provide games.
Ouya’s Kickstarter raised $8,596,474, despite a goal of just $950,000.

The way AAA gaming is going, this has some appeal to me.

The Ouya yearly release plan is a bit naff in my opinion as consoles should never get released on a yearly basis. If it’s just a streaming box, fair enough although one model would just be enough. I can see a lot of problems being caused by the yearly release schedule. Such as Game X only works on Ouya 2, Game Z requires Ouya 3 etc.. And £100 is too much for something that may not even support all of the latest releases within a year’s time.
