I almost never give to fundraisers online but I've dropped several hundred on this - that's how much I believe we sorely need a popular, open, indie-oriented gaming device that isn't a regular PC. (And before anyone scoffs, remember Diaspora?)
Will OUYA be the one to pull it off? With some skin in the game I'm hoping so, but the key thing to pick up from their copy is how strongly they're looking for validation rather than just money. So even if you think their implementation is lame at the moment, if you believe in the idea of an indie console, I'd encourage you to give the $10 just to boost the backer count (which I think is more important in the long run). And I'd encourage them to add a lower donation tier for exactly this reason too..
