I've heard you can use a PS3 or Xbox controller, and they are actually better than the Ouya controller

  yeah but that kind of defeats the purpose, doesnt it ? I can do the same with my android phone, hook it up to the TV via Hdmi (or wireless via Miracast) and basically have the Ouya experience. All thats different is their dashboard software which also happens to be not very good.

    It's hard to get an Android phone for $100 though.

      true, but many people interested in the Ouya probably have one anyway. I might still get one as media box, $100 is dirt cheap, sadly its not available in germany yet and more like EUR 100 (=$130) here :/

      There are companies doing "Android-on-a-USB-stick" too, which I personally believe is a more straightforward option than how Ouya did it - a big part of the "microconsole" concept is that things get deverticalized, so that the processing hardware, the display, and the controllers can all be sourced from different companies. Ouya has managed to get people a lot more hyped by being an integrated solution, though, so I guess they have that going for them.
