New $129 Ouya console arrives today

by Charlie Grammer on January 31, 2014

New version of the Ouya debuts today.

Gamers who have been following the Ouya may be pleased to hear that a new version of the Android-based console arrives today. This new console offers several improvements, though it also offers a $30 price increase from the 8GB version’s $99 price point (although savvy shoppers may be interested to hear that the 8GB version is currently $69 on Amazon.ca).

The improvements to this new console include twice the storage capacity at 16GB of memory, better Wi-Fi connectivity, and a refined controller design. These improvements seem to be targeted at the criticism the console had received in the past (such as the Wi-Fi connectivity issue several users experienced).

Are these improvements enough to justify a $30 price increase in your opinion, or would you prefer the 8GB version despite the issues still present?

Thanks, TechCrunch.
