I really really don't get the part where some early kickstarter backers still haven't seen their consoles shipped...all the while it's selling on Amazon on other retail channels. I just don't get it.
"Backers, I am pissed. Some of you have not yet received your OUYA -- and, to you, I apologize." -- Julie (who usually writes OUYA backer emails)
"Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who haven’t yet received OUYA are international backers. It just takes a lot longer to ship to some countries.... Please accept my personal apology for not yet delivering on our promise." -- Ken, Head of Operations at OUYA
I received the "Your OUYA is on the move" email (with a tracking number) 20 days ago, but here's the thing: my shipping address is in Singapore. Things arrive from Hong Kong via regular airmail within days, not weeks.
So that's how to get it.
I got mine, I'm not too happy with it, but it was $100. Maybe 6 months from now I can crack it open and fix the major problems with it. But I helped get a company started that is doing something unique. That was worth the $100 alone.
And I wish you would have helped a competent android game device company instead of Ouya, but what's done is done.
The thing that made me think this way is that they claim everything's in order on their end, but they still only sent me the bare package, without the extra controler I've ordered. In a customer service ticket reply, they, however, claim they had to send the console without the extra controler in order to send at least something, and that I'll get the controler in a future shipment.
Bottom line - they can be pissed all they want. They still didn't deliver on their promises.
I am within the first #15000 and in the US and still have yet to receive. I had to contact them when they said everything was shipped 100%. Granted at least they acknowledged it in the last update but it does suck.
