To take this idea one step further, it would be great if we could have a set date/time as an alternative/complimentary limit. Would be great for sales, launch deals (25% off DLC for the first week of release), or even pre-order deals.

One thing that helps a lot with app discovery on iOS is being able to jump straight to a game's page from a website via a special store URL. Essentially, if someone saw a game they liked for the OUYA, it would be nice if they could …
@Hicsy I like your dashboard idea!
Might I suggest though, instead of "Unrated", perhaps a more positive name like "Undiscovered" would evoke more interest.

I admire the OP for a more formal thread created for store discussion, but could not disagree more with a lot of what followed. Forgive me for chopping but this didn't help in the OP

If you're new to programming you'll probably want to start with a framework like libGDX.
Here's a tutorial on getting started with Android. Try getting things working under a basic emulator first, and then move on to adapting things for the OUYA.

With player recommendations, again going back to Amazon, the idea of lists works because they tend to be constructed along a particular theme "Best sci-fi games" "Best Platformers" rather than merely "My Favourite Games". You…
From the Setup guide in the docs:
The application image that is shown in the launcher is embedded inside of the APK itself. The expected file is in res/drawable-xhdpi/ouya_icon.png and the image size must be 732x412 for games or 412x412 for appl…
@Trist Having developed for iOS before, I can honestly say I don't mind. Improved versions are generally easy to handle, if you choose to handle it differently at all. You either add some new optional features or you stick to the baseline unit.
If …
@Trist I don't understand the question. It's all speculation at this point, the first OUYA isn't out yet. I'm just saying I'd buy an upgrade next year if it was offered.
On the topic of user feedback, it would be nice if users were given the choice between writing a review and providing a rating.
Allowing both tends to result in immature users making demands in return for stars, and a well-written review is more in…
That's correct; everything on Android is composited. I'm hoping the OUYA team can implement a composition bypass for games using a full screen GL window.
Might be against the grain but I'd be fine with an upgrade in one year. The OUYA isn't a particularly powerful console to begin with, and there's a lot of competition heating up.
iOS has issues because they stop supporting old hardware too soon, bu…

After a bit of use I'm noticing it's difficult to hit the bumpers when in a dual-analog position. It would be nice if they wrapped around the corners a bit.

Great ideas SpoonThumb!
Here's a bit of an oddball one, but I'd love to be able to get recommendations from specific users. In a nutshell, game recommendations ala Twitter. If a user recommends a game, it goes into their feed, and users following th…
As much as I'm a fan of having some sort of pause-button functionality, I would much rather use another button than have to go through the trouble of plugging options into the system menu, handling contextual bits, skinning, etc.
It's a lot of work…
Maybe someone from Team OUYA can clarify, but assuming there isn't a way to package downloads with IAP, you could always handle it internally: stick the files up on some cheap content host like S3, download them if the user has the entitlement.

But how do you get overscan on PC?
