OUNA IS MORE LIKE IT HUEHUEHUEHUEH.

They're both kinda terrible. WHAT A PERFECT FIT!

Remember that Razer Fightstick crapping out during the Evo Finals?

Most of these company buyouts are to get people and patent portfolios. Basically lawsuit protection.

Bought a Razer mouse and it was terrible. Worked on almost no surface in the house, forced you to sign up to an online service just to assign a couple of buttons (that didn't work well any way), and it broke in under a year. Am now using a mouse that cost one third what the Razer did, a g300, and it's the best mouse I've ever owned. I should really get around to stockpiling a few spares.

So yeah, Razer and OUYA seems like a match made in heaven. May they enjoy many years of duping unsuspecting schmucks together.

It's only downhill from here.

The ban did was not on Android based consoles since they have released couple of them. If they try doing something like that it will flop since the competition is endorsed by famous people and that matters. Only option would be targeting lower income households but they may not be interested in that type of product. I just cannot see a way for it to succeed on that market when the phones are the way people play that type of games (being playable on the go is important).

You guys need to read the article more. The article mentions that the OUYA storefront exports to android devices that have already been selling in china for a year. They're basically buying an online storefront that the Chinese are already using. It's probably pretty smart, compared to what Microsoft has been doing over there.

so china gets to build its own crappy & cheap console, all funded by stupid people buying over priced butt ugly hardware yay \o/

Good lord do I hope Julie Uhrman doesn't make a dime out of this deal but I know she's banking it.

I have a Razer Mamba and works on every surface unlike others claim. Hell At the moment I am using it on used Fax Paper to those with problems (Learn to use Mouse!!!!).

Well other than that comment could not care less about Ouya.

The scooter business got weird.

Until they refused to update the OS, now Kodi 15 wont load natively

Dam it, Logitech were poised to announce the acquisition of the Hula Hoop and the Space Hopper today but it looks like Razer stole their thunder in the faddish junk acquisition stakes.

@spicyrichter: What about SPMC? That's what I use for my FireTV.

Well, it was King Size and acquired for the paltry sum of $.50. I finished it in about 5 minutes with some milk. It has since left my body. Overall I'd say the whole experience was slightly more entertaining than playing blown up Android games on a tv.

@byterunner: Razer has a company net worth that is just over a billion, there is no way they paid that much for this acquisition

I think China is their only hope. over 1 billion people, somebody's gonna buy that thing.

Insert joke about planned parenthood here.

Well... We hardly, OUYA.

Razer products have and will always be overrated. They're the Beats Headphones of the PC Hardware world.

Amazing what a few dollars and a half-eaten bag of jerky gets you these days.

lol

Really wonder how much Urhman got in her exit.

Full Disclosure: Austin's a sharp cookie.

I kinda feel bad for the Ouya team. It's one thing for a console to fail. It's another thing altogether to see enthusiastic people have their hopes dashed.

Ouya gotta be kiddin' me!!!!

I'm not sure I want that in my mouth.

The unwanted gift that just keeps on giving.

When you want to Razer laugh, OUYA gonna call?

So they are going to stop making scooters and make video games?

While this seems like totally meaningless and unimportant nonsense, it's interesting to see an American company targeting the Chinese market. Maybe this is one step closer to being less completely and totally economically dependant on Chinese imports?

I don't know. I don't know literally anything about the economy or foreign policy or have even the slightest sense of the scale of this stuff, so this is probably a lot less relevant than it seems to me on the surface.

They convinced hundreds of thousands of people, the problem is that couldn't deliver on those promises.

rip in peace razer

I was going to make a broken joystick joke but then that would have been too cruel.

I wouldn't go so far as to call what was likely a lot of sales uneducated consumers at Target and Wal-Mart "convincing" people.

I guess the fact that someone saw some worth still in the company is a fine eulogy.

For everyone that owns one for the KS, well you own a bit of failed history. I would pack it up in the original box while you still have it, make sure as much of it as was original in the box...then put it shelf.

I guess if they already have a presence in China it might be a good idea. Man, Alibaba has its own game console, that's so weird to me for some reason.

I don't know why anyone would buy them. The Ouya isn't going to sell games. People bought it for the emulation and that isn't making anyone any money.

If Razer knows anything is how to sell cheaply made electronics.

I had two razer products that worked just fine for me; by that logic to me they're a perfect company with a spotless track record. Kinda reminids me of most people's thoughts on hard drive brands.

ive purchased (and thrown away ) more razer controllers I care to admit... They'll make a great couple

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

On the other hand this makes some kind of bizzaro sense.

@tajasaurus: Wait, what? One billion with a B? How the.... Never mind. I don't think I can handle this right now.

Who in their right mind buys an OUYA?

Oh the stupid Ouya. It was born in the primordial soup of stupidity. As it crawled out of the stupid soup, with a stupidly designed controller trailing behind it (buttons stuck in and batteries inserted in baffling ways), it felt a sudden tug and then toppled over. With little effort, the stupid Ouya was felled by the weight of it's own stupidly short HDMI cable.

Unable to properly right itself, the stupid Ouya stayed there motionless until Razer's Min Tang happened upon it's cube like body. The stupid Ouya thought to itself for a moment that Min was indeed it's righteous savior, until Mr Tang reached inside its body and ripped out its soul.

I am equally as stupid for buying one of these Kickstarter editions. And so is Notch (The 85th backer).
