Well. I can't say this is a surprise.
Also I'm starting to think that "gaem" is how you Europeans spell it.

I don't understand why anyone would want one of these. Even as an emulation console there are far better and cheaper alternatives that also have their own and much much better software. Even my cheap tablet is far better than this, cost half the price, lets me plug it into my tv, lets me use usb/bluetooth controllers/keyboard/harddrive as well as use the Play store that is will not be abandoned next year.
I'd truly love to see a new console by a small company come out and kick ass, but this one is just a tad amatuerish.
I take exception to that! Don't get me started or I might have to axe you what the heck a nucular missile is.Also I'm starting to think that "gaem" is how you Europeans spell it.
Except for no HD support...Anyone that honestly wants to buy an ouya, I just recommend they buy an old Wii and softmod it. You could probably get a decent used one for like 50 dollars. A softmodded Wii will take care of all your old emulation needs, as well as movies and music. Not to mention USB loading of Wii, Gamecube, and Triforce games. And plenty of homebrew to boot. Not to mention the Wii gives you many options for controllers, so you can find the one that suits you and your needs best. As far as I'm concerned, that blows the Ouya away for a very nice price be it used or new in this day and age.

What's silly is the idea that HD resolution in games can somehow be "bothersome" and make the camera "unnatural."Meh. Not a deal breaker for me, never has been. In fact, I find some movies hard to watch on blu-ray because its almost like watching a soap opera, dare I say too much resolution? Now granted that doesn't apply so much to gaming, but it can be bothersome, the camera can look unnatural, I dunno hard to explain. Regardless, whether or not a game system is HD or not, has never been a deal breaker for me, its not like the lack of resolution suddenly makes playing a game or watching a movie unwatchable to me, that's just silly.

My girlfriend has one that I was able to tinker with while visiting her. We found a few nice multiplayer addicting games. (You Don't Know Jack, Word Scrabble, and Hidden in Plain Sight.) All of which were great however it was $10 for extra YDKJ episodes, and Word Scrabble has a subscription. Hidden in Plain Sight was nice, it did a sort of pay what you want with set denominations. With the option to donate later. The games, and even emulators on there are pretty expensive. I was hoping for a more Android market where games were priced accordingly. I'd like someway to not have to pay for items I own on the Android Market on the Ouya Market, which I was able to do by sideloading them. The console itself looks like it's upside down IMO, and there's no file manager. Once more things get developed no doubt it'll be worth the price, but for now I wouldn't get one myself. (Oh and the controller's touchpad is so jerky, forget games that require it.)
tl;dr Ouya doesn't have lots owners. games expensive so people no buy them.

PS2, 360p youtube, Video Cassettes master race?
To be fair he has an argument, at a certain level the amount of detail in a movie gets to be so much that it ruins the illusion and becomes almost uncanny. That the characters seem almost too real looking for being on your screen, and there's almost film making techniques that don't translate well to a higher definition and such.
Never actually watched Blu-Ray.

Might have to check that out then.
And on the consoles thing, I tried playing my 360 in standard definition one time, I was disgusted.
I love my HD too much.
Although on wii and things that dont have it, you dont notice the difference coz theres no comparison.
As soon as there's a comparison, bam. HD 4ever

The goal of motion pictures is not to recreate reality, it's not even to show reality. I want to create a little psychic link between you and my pictures. I want to suck you into the world of the story, suspend your disbelief and make you forget about yourself and your life and just be in the moment of the film.
By not showing enough visual information, we force the brain into filling in the gaps... it draws you in even more. It's part of how you let go to the point where you can laugh or cry or feel tense or afraid or elated.
Wait a second....are the people in this topic saying that Bluray's offer too much detail actually serious?

I guess sometimes something can look so real it seems fake, that's what I'm gathering from this
Yes. For gaming and animation I'm sure it's a different ballgame but for films especially it can hurt. Movies are meant to be an illusion, a series of moving images. When you try to break that illusion it doesn't immerse you, it takes you out of it because it's so uncanny real.
