If I didn't already have an Ouya I wouldn't mind throwing $20 on this. Definitely not $80 though haha.

Damn, that's a pretty nice deal.

If I had an extra $20 to waste on stuff like this, I'd probably grab one. It'd definitely make a nice retro emu station.

I might get this I do got $24 on a giftcard

I was reading around and canceling my order now. It's a POS apparently that can't sideload APKs. AVOID!

You can "convert" any Gamestick to a "developer" version which allows you to sideload various apps and things.

This has XBMC, and for another $15 you can get a dock allowing you to connect HDD's via usb. I may do this..

That cpu doesn't look too good...

CGR did a good review of this system. Might pick one up just out of curiosity.... and 20 bucks? Worth it! lol (Just don't expect a lot.)

Checking the market place, this thing doesn't seem so bad, specially for that price. Check the official site and some reviews where you can ;o

Well I just called gamestop and they can't (more like "won't") cancel my order. Maybe I'll just tinker around with it.

Did you mean this?

Err, no actually, the site I found the guide on is a warez site so I can list it here >.>

But that guide actually seems like a much better/quicker option, so if I were you I would follow that

Neat. I'll most likely use my Shields HDMI output to make it my games hub, but this is a super cool and cheap option to play some android games.
Better then lolouya

 

[morphius]

seeing as the controller is bluetooth... wonder if this would work as a game controller for my mac mini as well

And on a week where I'm broke.

If anyone wants to pick me up one of these I'd be willing to trade a copy of Bravely Default, or the Majora's Mask soundtrack from last year's CN reward (sealed but with a small crack in the back of the case).

Dammit, I'm in the UK :-(

Better than OUYA my ass! You do know that the Game Stick is weaker than OUYA, right? Anywho I would love to get my hands on one of these. The price is fair and I wonder how well it could handle the OUYA's UI.
