OUYA starts restrictive All-Access pass for $60 per year

article published on 4 July, 2014

OUYA, the Android gaming set-top box that failed to gain any traction outside of Kickstarter, has started a new annual pass give gamers access to the a nice library of games. The All-Access Pass costs $60 per year and will give you access to all of the games on OUYA, but there of course some major restrictions to this all-you-can-eat model.

I didn't get to do a mocking told-you-so dance to anyone about OUYA since nobody I know thought positively about it anyway.

Yeah making it the same price as Xbox Gold or PS Plus (or even more expensive) for a year is nuts.

Pardon me for not joining in on the usual jolly slackjawed slagfest that occurs every time the OUYA is mentioned on AfterDawn, this doesn't look like that terrible a deal to me. Xbox Gold or PS Plus doesn't give you access to all* the games on those platforms so to make that comparison is utterly asinine.

There are some real gems in it's catalogue.... but I forget, Droid games are only meant to be played by poking at a touchscreen.

So do your little dance... we still get plenty of use out of the device, it's used every day (media, games and sideloaded) especially for our little boy.

Yeah I know, we're all crazy in my house... we actually use the device but what would we know? If you're gonna reply that you tried it and didn't like it... fine... you can't please everyone.


*There are no games over $30 (or $15) at this time.
