10 gadgets you should not buy in 2013

... but I disagree about OUYA.

I'm not saying it's going to be great, cause I don't know how it will pan out.

I AM saying it has a HUGE potential.

First of all, it's obviously not meant to compete with current-gen or next-gen consoles. It's something completely different.

It CAN compete with XBLA/PSN games, and THAT'S the huge appeal to me. I love 2D platformers. I love top-down racers. Those games which were awesome back in the day, and which you now see scoring high as downloadable titles on current-gen consoles. Think Super Meat Boy. Think Spelunky. Think Motorstorm RC. Etc etc.

There are already games for Android that I would absolutely LOVE to play in HD on a big-screen TV with a normal controller, like Reckless Racing 2, or Machinarium.

But let's say it will fail as a gaming console. There might be a lack of support from developers (I doubt it), or the hardware isn't decent enough, or it's just a marketing problem, or whatever. Lets say it fails.

Then you've still got an absolutely AWESOME mediacenter, with XBMC or whatever else you might want to use.

And obviously, it will also play emulators, so I'll be able to replay all my old favourites from the Megadrive, Amiga, Arcade, whatever. It won't be powerful enough for emulating newer systems, but I'd love to just play The Firemen or Chrono Trigger again.

Yes, you can do all that on a PC as well, but for many people the PC is still not used in the living room, and this is a sexy, small and affordable alternative.

It's an entertainment-box. And it's small enough you can just take it anywhere as well, to hook it up at a friend's house, or just to another room.

The only thing about that OUYA that I'm skeptical about, is that they said they would release a newer version every year.

In the UK where EE has a monopoly on 4G technology at the moment not USA buddy.

Orange is EE Racer-X O2 and the others are planning on implementing the 4G but later in the year not yet.
