OUYA

Well my first hour with this new console.

Pros: very small, controller feels solid (my complaint with the PS3), interface is simple but effective, download model seems to work, free play built into each game, remembers where you left off in the game

Cons: feels like a cell phone, games don’t have a console feel (no exit in some cases), sticky controls, slow downloads, gets hot

 

Overall I’m pretty impressed for something that cost $95.

How many of you will be watching on May 21, 2013 at 10 am PDT for the reveal of the new Xbox Console?  You can watch on Xbox Live, Xbox.com and I’m sure loads of other channels on TV.  If you’re here, you can get watch through the New Xbox Portal.

I know I’ll be watching.  I am very interested in hearing what Microsoft has in store for the next console.  There’s so much that can be done and so many different directions it could take.  I’m thinking Sony has thrown down the “games” gauntlet in the hopes that Microsoft will go more of an entertainment route.  What do you guys think?

If you could imagine only 1 awesome new feature, what would it be?

We moved to a new home about 6 weeks ago.  Based on how much better it performed than Time Warner at the old place, we installed U-Verse again at the new house.  Here are our results:

Nice ping and not a bad speed.  Now all I need is to find some time to unpack the rest of my boxes and connect my Xbox so I can get some gaming in!  What are your speeds these days?  Share em here!  If you need to test them, go to Speedtest.net.

Wow, I just noticed the Grade is C+.  Man, what do we need to get more than barely above average?!
