I'd actually use it. If it included a TV and games to play. But then I have other console to play with.

I wouldn't use it for games, but that's partly because the only gaming I ever do of my own volition is sporadically and briefly obsessing over some tower defence game or that candies game or something piddly like that.

I'd probably use it for movies, really. Because I have no DVD player, which deprives me of the many fine films available at the public library for free.

I could finally finish Babylon 5.

aaaaand I don't particularly care

I had an Android tablet in my care (not my possession) for most of a year and I only ever used it as an alarm/gps/thing_to_test_Android_applications_I_had_written_on.

Playing tower defence on a console doesn't really appeal to me either
it's just a maybe-once-every-three-months distraction to my usual computer activities

On a somewhat related note, anyone have any experience with those $50 Android iPad ripoffs?

They're never worth it. None of them will ever have anything approaching a screen that won't make your eyes bleed.

Or a processor/RAM that doesn't handle like a 15-year-old driving a manual transmission. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Die. Start. Die.

It's really hard to make a decent tablet under $100
and $200 is a better bet

Man like I'd give OUYA a pass if its hardware ran shit better than present-day smartphones it was conceptually based on providing an alternative to. Or if the controller wasn't such a flimsy POS.

Even the PA-noted emulation bonanza is just unambiguously superior on the pc (surprise, surprise?) and you can use an xbox controller or whatsoever you fancy.

I guess ouya isn't just meh, a lot of people really totally think it's bad
