^ about 5 minutes probably.
that suddenly makes it a lot more interesting ( and yes i know android is a nix variant )
because now the ouya can also be a bare bones dirt dirt cheap linux machine and be turned in to desktop computer
This isn't news. It's been marketed as an open Tegra 3 SoC kit since last year. The specs are available if you want to 3D print your own case for it.
That has been the whole point of the Ouya since its inception. Take another look at the first Kickstarter pitch video if you don't remember. And also, it's already running Linux. Android Jelly Bean to be precise.
never said it was newsQuote:

I just want to know where people keep getting these stupid names. Does anyone even know how to fucking pronounce "Ouya"? Is it like "booyah!" only without the "b"?
They were actually trying to come with a console name worse than Wii. I think they succeeded.Quote:

I'm seriously considering getting one when its released here.
If you listen to the founder or anybody who built it, they pronounce it "Booyah" without the B, as he said.Quote:

Of course it's just a fancy minimalist PC, but still a deal for $99 bucks. I wonder what kind of BIOS it will have and if you can boot linux off a USB?
