Glad it's got parallel joysticks

definitely gonna be getting it for my mom when it comes out, might get it for myself someday if the game library looks good enough.

Moved.

Not sure what to think about this, there has been in influx of these smaller systems surfacing lately, curious to see if any of them prosper.

well, this is pretty neat to me because it runs the new android made for TV's, and it has chromecast support. I'm sure the hardware will be good and the non gaming features will be good, but the games not so much. for games though, i'd rather get a vita TV.

Chromecast support is a gigantic plus, I pretty much only use my chromecast now adays anyways so [luigidance]

but yeah agree with you for your entire statement, would most definitely get a vita TV for myself first

I feel like there is a place in this world for these things but more as a multi-media device then a gaming machine. I could see myself getting this for my bedroom for the multi-media option and yes having the games there is a nice bonus. However trying to pitch this this to me as "I should be this for the games' I just don't see that ever happening. I could see the market growing and a lot more $10, $15, $20 downloadable games getting on these types of systems but for me personally I will 3 other consoles that can already play those games.

Why? I hate to be negative but these Android mini consoles never pan out. I never hear about anyone playing killer apps on their Ouya's or on their Amazon Fire Tv's, etc.

Because google wants to compete with the apple TV, Roku, and stuff like that. This is a set top box that just happens to play games, not exactly a gaming console. What they are doing with the multimedia aspect looks pretty great, and it's a pretty nifty box. Just not a game console.

Meh, just another one of these things. Really put off by that pad to be honest, i actually prefer off-set sticks and can't really stand using them when they are like the Playstation pads anymore. They just don't feel right. :(
