I hope this is ok...pasted from Engadget
The Good The Ouya works as an unfiltered indie game repository, and at $99, is a cheap investment. Its free-to-try model for games allows you to assay before you pay.
The Bad The console has a cheap controller, unstable software, lacks compelling games, has a dearth of useful media apps, and low graphics performance.
The Bottom Line Despite its low price and free-to-try system, the Ouya fails to reach its potential as a disruptive alternative platform.
ie. Sounds like a bag of carp.
As for advice...
XDA is an excellent source for Android advice...
