Edit: ooooh, derp, CHASHING->Cashing

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console

The project is only at day 3 of the "kickstart" and it's already at 4.2MILLION dollars. Pretty incredible I'd say.

Both the hardware and the software of the console is gonna be open source, so you bet your *** you'll see plenty of interesting modifications to it.

It's Android 4.0 based and will have HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0, USB2.0, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 8GB storage and Nvidia Tegra 3 with 1GB RAM.
I think the performance is at almost the level of XBOX360 (from my playing around in games with a Tegra 3 tablet).
It'll cost 99 bucks.

Very interesting project.

On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

I can live with that ^^
Besides, anything worse than the
bleeding-edge we can just say is
"retro".

It's 5 days left and they're almost at 6.6 million dollars.

Their first first-party game has now been announced: https://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/226032074375692288

And here's a pic from a launch game with some combat I doubt you'll call uninteresting:

Even if they hit 10 million, that isn't enough to support the type of team/staff needed to actually launch a successful system.

Maybe, but if all else fails you can still use it as a media center :)
Not saying that I'm getting one, I'll probably just get a Raspberry Pi.
