The First OUYAs Will Arrive At The End Of December

November 30, 2012 by Matt Hawkins

It won’t be under your Christmas tree, but it should be in your mailbox before 2012 bows out. Provided that you’re also a developer.

The other day it was mentioned how the Oculus Rift, that fancy new virtual reality headset, which was funded by Kickstarter, was not going to arrive at the end of 2012 as expected. Fortunately, the other crowd-funded gadget that got gamers and tech heads in general all hot and bothered this year is still on track. That being the open-sourced, Android based console, the OUYA. 

Its maker posted the picture seen above in their latest blog post, which is of the latest prototype to be put through the paces, which was also accompanied the following message:

To the hundreds of developers who backed us through Kickstarter to get their hands on our advance dev consoles: Mark your calendars! On December 28, they leave the factory and should arrive within a couple of days (we’ve heard that Turkey and Russia might take a bit longer). Yes, we are shipping these to you on time, as promised.

The dev consoles are an early version of the OUYA console and controller designed for developers to test their games on OUYA. Our Kickstarter developers are the first to get a crack at ‘em! We’re psyched to have you on board, and we can’t wait to see what pours from your brain!

Of course, when the final consoles ship, EVERY OUYA will be a dev console. We told you that already. What we didn’t tell you was that the advance dev consoles you ordered are pretty special – you’ll know what I mean when you open yours. They’re rare drops. 😛

No idea what will be special about the advanced version of the hardware. Perhaps it will sport a different color or a special, identifying marker? On the software side, everyone who is due to receive one, will get a link to activate their OUYA account via email on December 25th.
