3 Million in a few days when they wanted 1 million in a month XD

Looks pretty incredible and could definitely see myself buying one. I may even donate $99 so I can reserve a console for myself. If it doesn't get sold out before I get paid.

A few guys at work were talking about this today. I'm considering dropping 99 for it. I figure, the most I'm out is 120 bucks. I'm not too concerned about that.

At the same time, I'm not sure if I'm overly excited about it either, which is what's kept me from dropping that money.

It looks interesting but the system will only have 1gb of ram? I wouldn't expect to get any truly hardcore gaming out of it with those specs. I have a MAME cabinet for stuff like that anyway.

Wow, this is a very good idea. I'm looking forward to see how this project moves along, and I'm sure I'll be purchasing one for myself.

First off, that's twice as much as the 360.

Second, they have said that you'd be able to mod your console without voiding your warranty, so you could always add more if you have the skills. ;)

There are many reasons why Ouya isn't that good. Sure, they sold a lot, but there are some serious flaws.
