I'm kinda on the fence about these open-source steam type boxes. Anyone have experience with the Ouya?
Yes I do - the Ouya is ****. Support for it has been lackluster and the standard controller for it is junk. It "sort of" supports PS3 controllers but not very well. One of the biggest selling points of this box is it supports a GOOD wireless controller out of the box.

You are 100% right. The Ouya is probably the worst gadget I have ever bought.
i3 and 860m will not be a great gaming combo,this ex. is with i7 quad and same gpu framerates are consistantly slower than ps4 andxb1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6FjzwvObOM
It has two modes: PC and console. console is just steam in big picture mode (controller friendly interface). it's all pc though. when the steam os comes out, they're going to come out with a version that's just Steam OS but THAT will ONLY PLAY STEAM LINUX games. This on can play all Windows games since it comes with Windows 8, not steam os.
I want it, but I don't know... I think I may wait for the first sale.
I don't know. It's 550 right now with 100 gift card. that's 450 for a pc built ground up for steam. worth it? keep in mind this is a FULL PC. it does everything a pc would do ... from work to gaming. they showed it playing assassin's creed black flag, watchdogs. to me, didn't seem that different console versions PS4/x1.

A mixture of PC games and games developed specifically for the steam machine consoles on Linux and SteamOS. Wikipedia says this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(hardware_platform)#Games_and_applications

i strongly doubt that. it is easier, though, for newbies to get in the action as everything will be in one box.
It should come with a 360 controller (since it was intended to be a Steam box but the steam controller isn't out yet)
