The thing with the Ouya that really puts me of is the WIFI. It might as well come out as "I don't have wifi" in its advertisements and therefore no one will be dissapointed.
I don't think you are being fair CpTHOOK, how long did it take to get an acceptable level of performance from the Raspberry Pi, half a year? granted it was linux and not android but look how far libstagefright has come along by Koying in the last 2 months. I've heard it actually runs 1080p smooth no problem and in 3 months its going to be a beast of a platform for XBMC.
beanie9700 this is my 2 cents buy the Ouya, even though in this thread everyone is saying its not good I've heard many people say that its the best. They've also said it plays smooth 1080p and also it gives you a chance to ride the wave of getting better every month and enjoying the experience. Since all you want is to stream from internet to the tv Ouya is both cheaper to buy and cheaper to run and I'm sure all the bugs will be worked on (how many people own an ouya...very vibrant comunity) also DTS is being worked on so will come in the future. And you said you won't be using the WIFI so no problems there
worst case return it or put it on Ebay for $20 loss and don't forget its actually a console that is getting more and more free games to try...
Ouya man

Yes you would need to erase and format to install raspbmc. But to get the best out of the Raspberry Pi I strongly advise to run of a budget USB 3 install, so get a cheap as hell sd card and not a pre installed inflated one that charge you extra just to install something that will take a minute yourself.
I own a raspberry Pi and have Over clocked it alot. Its awesome device and plays really good but at the end of all the cost and time involved you might as well got something more powerful for only slighlty more and less time involved with the learning curve, especially since the raspberry Pi has almost come to the end of its journey and MUCH MORE capable devices that cost the same are coming along. Atleast 10 times better...
