The Android-powered OUYA mini console comes packed with a controller that can connect wirelessly to the console and is powered by two AA batteries. When compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 controller, there are a few things we like, but things we don't like too.
First off, the controller doesn't feel as premium as both the PlayStation's and Xbox 360's controllers. In fact, the controller feels very lightweight and creaks in the hand a little.

Whilst the OUYA console is miles behind the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in terms of hardware performance and gaming quality, the small box offers a bit of gaming for just $99.
The console includes a dashboard that can be used to download free games- these games will be similar to the kind of games you can get on Android devices- so expect a lot of arcade-type gaming.
