OUYA UI / Menu Wishlist and Suggestions

I know the OUYA devs have probably all heard this before, but I thought it might be a good idea to create a post where others can post "wishlists" and "suggestions" for the OUYA UI itself (not for hardware or games, etc).

I am doing this because (1) I believe in what OUYA is trying to do, but (2) I think the system is currently turning off more users than it's attracting, and part of that, I think, can be fixed by making some tweaks to the UI itself.  Some disclosure:  I am an experienced programmer, and have owned my OUYA for only a couple days.

So, my suggestions follow:

• Show "full game" prices in the game descriptions.  It's annoying to have to download a game, just to discover it's outside the price range you wanted to pay.  Often you don't even see the price until you click to buy it from an in-game menu.  This simple problem could be solved with an optional field for devs to enter their "full game" pricetag, if applicable.
• This will help makers of cheap or free games stand out a little more from everyone else, and possibly help deliver more impulse downloads & sales.
• Have a real ratings system.  Out of 5 stars seems to be the industry standard, and it works well.  As of the time of this writing, you can only leave a "thumbs up".  You can't even make it a thumbs down.  As such, that rating really doesn't tell you much.
• Let users SORT the lists of games by rating!  Again, this would drive more sales to great games, and make more money for OUYA.
• Other sorts that would be nice: Best rating, Most downloads, A-Z, Newest - Oldest, Price
  
• Could just be hard-coded sorts tied to the buttons on the controller
• Let users SEARCH for a game.  This probably requires more programming, but its something which shouldn't be forgotten.  If a review website says "You've got to try this awesome game on OUYA!" but then users can't just enter the name and find it, well, that's not good.  The whole system feels cheap after that.
• There should be a "Recently Published" list of games near the top of the Discover screen, which shows the most recently 25 - 50 games, with the newest at the front of the list.  Right now, users have to sift through long lists of games to find the most recent ones, which of course they won't do.  It makes it an incredible disincentive for developers to bother programming games, if their game has no chance of getting noticed, even just for a week or two.

I know there are other more advanced features out there which everyone is begging for, and those are all needed too.  But I feel like these issues I've raised are *basic* issues, which, since the OUYA lacks them, it really comes off as bad.

I know the OUYA team has their own business model in mind, but to my thinking, if you really want to be successful you must do 2 things:  #1 - Do everything reasonably possible to drive sales to games.  This currently isn't happening.  And, #2 - You have to make the system attractive as a Christmas gift for 12 year olds.  Of course, grown-ups like us want to play it too. But if 12 year olds aren't begging for it for Christmas, then I think it will never move out of a niche appeal, which may ultimately spell its doom.

And I don't want that to happen!  I think OUYA has so much promise.  But it's missing several basic features from its UI, which I think is turning off the very consumers it needs to stay afloat.

Okay-- just my 2 cents.  Sorry if this came off sounding too critical.  I want the OUYA to succeed (and stick around so that I can make money selling my games on it!)
