Now my question is are these boxes from China good enough for now, will they be good enough in the future?
Once a Chipset is fully working with XBMC (android version) then will we see these boxes going a dime a dozen?
If so then is the Ouya well over priced? Yes it has slightly more support but community support will just go where their is a market and cheapest product gives it a good candidate for a good market. Just wanted some thoughts on Android boxes
