$99 ‘Ouya’ console meets Kickstarter goal in 8 hours

Ever wanted to own your own hackable, Android-powered home console for just $99? Well don’t worry, because you’ll soon have your chance – the Kickstarter goal for the ‘Ouya’ console has already blasted through its goal with $2,083,567 raised of its $950,000 target.  The new console is promised by March 2013, and will feature a Tegra 3 Quadcore ARM CortexA9 + GPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB flash memory storage inside, and wi-fi and Bluetooth support. It is designed to be fully hackable, with users expected to swap their own components in and out, install their own OS, and even make their own peripherals. If you’d like to secure one for yourself, there’s still time – 28 days, in fact.
