Anyone have any thoughts on this? Says they tested many boxes, including the gbox I was planning on getting and OUYA is hands down the way to go. I've watched a few videos, and read a couple web forum reviews, and the only problems people seem to encounter are with high end audio streaming, which a fix is said to be in the works.

A couple pluses are that I could run emulators and play sweet ass NES, SNES, SEGA games.

Seems responsive, stable, XBMC downloadable straight from OUYA store, and right now they have a Valentines deal to get an OUYA for $70.

They also say they figure noobs into the equation for their ranking.

Thoughts?
As an XBMC box, it's light years better than my ATV. I'm having difficulty getting 720p content to load, but I'm not sure if that's a function of the source or the Ouya's reputedly shitty wifi.

Edit: I just tested the wifi connection, and it blows. 1Meg on a 6Meg line.

For $85 total, it's a good option (if you're using ethernet). Has way more processing power than the Gbox.
