If you need to know anything about the OUYA it is this one sentence: "OUYA offers every game free to try because we believe you shouldn't buy anything until you know you love it." That should give you an idea of what OUYA are trying to create with their console.

In a video game world filled with DRM-this and used game sales-that, OUYA is a breathe of fresh air for players and developers as you can download everything you want from award-winning developers and up-and-comers alike - no strings attached.

Having partnered with Nvidia, the OUYA has been outfitted with a NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage (easily expandable via USB). Whether you use WiFi or Ethernet you can download games or stream your favorite videos or music apps in beautiful 1080p HD. The kicker? Nothing voided for just unscrewing your console and looking around - they encourage you to have fun with your OUYA and the hardware.

Video games just feel bigger and better on a TV screen. Surround Sound. HD. A room full of friends. Console gaming isn't going anywhere, but console games aren't as much fun as they could be.

That’s why we made OUYA: a new kind of game console, to bring groundbreaking games to the television in an entirely new way.

Games Only on OUYA
You download OUYA games directly to your console -- no discs to buy or scratch.

And the games on OUYA are made by some of the most inventive game developers in the business. Favorite franchises like Final Fantasy, brand new never-before-seen titles and hundreds of other games. Shooters, platformers, role-playing games, action games... You name it.

And, best of all, every game on OUYA is free to try. You might end up investing in that coin doubler, buying the healing elixir that extends your life, or unlocking the full version of the game, but everything -- absolutely everything -- is free to try. We believe you shouldn't have to buy it unless you love it.

Small... but Powerful
OUYA is about the size of a Rubik’s cube, but it plays hard in full-screen HD. It uses an nVIDIA quad-core CPU and outputs via HDMI at up to a stunning 1080p resolution. It powers on instantly.

Need more storage? No problem. Just plug in an external hard drive into the USB 2.0 port. Like to hardwire your Internet? That’s cool. Jack into OUYA’s high-speed ethernet port. WiFi works too. If you want to develop games, just plug your laptop into our micro-USB port -- anyone can release an OUYA game. And the hardware opens so you can customize it if that’s your bag.

We listen to our supporters, and try to evolve OUYA so it always gets better for them. When you buy OUYA, you become part of our effort to change how console gaming works.

Additional Requirements
You will need a valid credit, debit or prepaid retail card to download OUYA content. Your card will not be charged unless you choose to make a purchase. Though many games on OUYA will not require a purchase to unlock additional content or features, others may offer for purchase in-game products or additional features (like full versions or additional levels).

OUYA... lovingly made by a team of gamers who believe that console games will never die.
