Things just keep getting better for the Android gaming sensation, Ouya. Despite a rubbish name, it’s recently gained the support of OnLive and Vevo, plus even Square-Enix is on-board too. Now we’re hearing the Android console will also get a splash of XBMC to turn this thing into a one-stop entertainment shop.
The team behind XBMC has pledged to port the media centre platform over to the Ouya, which should turn it into an all-formats Android-based media powerhouse. The team will even get early access to the Ouya, to make sure things are ready for launch. As Ars Technica points out, XBMC could even be the unifying front end for the Ouya for emulators and ROMs, thanks to its Advanced Launcher add-on.
The irony here, is that Google’s been trying to do a similar thing for ages with its much maligned Google TV, but has never managed it, even with its current Google TV 2.0. Could Ouya turn into the ultimate game-playing media-machine to have under your TV? With all this support, it really could. [XBMC via Ars Technica]
Ouya Might Be Getting Firefox
Ouya Hitting the Big Old Shops from June
Ouya's Hardware Will Be Updated Every Single Year
Google should look at buying Ouya before it becomes too profitable since that will push the price up.
Excellent. It can’t be much of an effort getting XBMC to run on this thing mind. XBMC have already announced a port to Android, and this thing runs Android. I was already assuming it would be possible to install XBMC anyway. At least this announcement means there’ll be a version specifically for the Ouya
Hopefully my Raspberry Pi will get here before this thing’s released!
Rc4 of raspmc is looking sweet. Also ready for a full release.
Perhaps a RaspPi in my bedroom and a Ouya in my lounge for emulation/android gaming/XBMC duties? That’d be pretty sweet
My Xbox1s running XBMC are trusty, but they’re also flipping noisy!
I feel bad for OnLive
, since Sony bought Gaikai; it’s been feeling rather lonely and hopeless 
.
Having said that I think for $89 ((89 * 0.63) + 20% = £56.07 + £11.21 = £67.28), it is an excellent product that will replace the need to upgrade my Apple TV from now on.
how much is this gonna be if not pledged during the kickstarter? really interested but skint right now.
