The $99 Android-powered Ouya game console has been delayed by three weeks and won’t be available until late June.

The Ouya started as project on Kickstarter to create an open-source, inexpensive, Android-based gaming console.

The first reviews of Ouya’s $100 game console are in, and they’re pretty ugly. Here’s David Pierce at The Verge: For $99, everyone who backed Ouya’s Kickstarter has unwittingly signed up to beta-test a game console. Alpha-test, even: this is a product with some good ideas and a potentially promising future, but it’s a million miles away from something worth spending your...

The OUYA Android-based gaming console is getting ready for its debut: the stated beginning shipping date for Kickstarter backers is March 28.
