Plugs into a HDMI slot on the TV and turns it into a gaming system like ouya.

Also NVIDIA have project shield which also looks good.

The GameStick is nice. Nicer than the OUYa, simply because its portable, all in one system.

The Ouya however will get more support. In fact, just today Firefox said they will port their Browser natively to it.

Ofcourse, you have to supply your own keyboard etc etc.


But the best solution is my solution. Its only has one flaw and that is; its not in existence. It is:

-A game controller with the best contours
-Bluetooth and microUSB connection
-Internal battery (charges phone)
-Universal Phone holder (phone sits on top)
-HDMI dongle (doesn't require separate power)
-HDMI dongle is very tiny, hides on the back of the controller (when not used)
-HDMI dongle only receives and provides Miracast to the TV
-Total price of $70

-Cheaper version for $50
-No Bluetooth connectivity (microUSB only)
-No internal battery (to charge device)
-Less premium plastic

yeaaah...MIPS...probably not going to get a lot of decent software...and terrible screen resolution for a handheld that will cost more than 100$, probably not less than 150$...
alot of ps1 and n64 games have a larger resolution than this screen, not to mention ports of pc games...
