Sometimes I leave my primary laptop at work.
Sometimes my girlfriend may want to play a SNES game while I'm using my laptop.
Sometimes I want to reinstall my laptop and don't want that to impact my gaming console.
Sometimes I may not want to bother with having to plug in my laptop in the TV and find the controller, to play 20 minutes of Dr. Mario. (I'm very lazy)
I'd rather have several cheap, interchangeable devices rather than everything from a single one :) (that applies to my laptop too; I did all of my programming and work from a 300$ netbook for a couple years, that was nice and I wasn't too heartbroken when my gf at the time spilled water on it and killed it)
- jjsz 13y agoI found this forum [0] that lists Android USB sticks, which are more portable than the Ouya, and cheaper. This "Tronsmart CX-919 Quad Core Google Android 4.2.2 OS Rockchip RK3188 Cortex A9 1.6GHz Mini TV BOX Dongle HDMI HDD Player 2G/8G BT/HDMI/External Wifi Antenna-Blackis" is $65 [1].

- GuiA 13y agoOh that's neat, thank you! (although I may pay the Ouya premium because Towerfall looks really fun)
- jjsz 13y agoYeah, no sweat. Supposedly games like FF will be Ouya optimized so I'm imagining FFIV will have better graphics. We'll see, it might turn out like the 3DS and have games come a little late.
- ekianjo 13y agoIt's not super cheap, unfortunately (well, apart from the used models you can get), but the Open Pandora would nicely fit some of your requirements. It's excellent for emulation, among many other things. It also plays many Android games pretty well.
