Ouya Teams Up With XBMC

New submitter JG0LD writes "The team behind open-source media platform XBMC announced yesterday that it would be working with the developers of Ouya to make sure that XBMC works on the still-developing but widely hyped Android gaming console." From XBMC: "Regardless, we are delighted to announce that XBMC will be working with Ouya to ensure that XBMC works well on the Ouya platform. Ouya's Android underpinnings and XBMC's work on Android (soon to be merged into master, pending final sign-offs!) will dramatically speed up that effort, as will early XBMC dev access to Ouya prototypes."

    My TV only has so many inputs, you know.

    I already had to add an extra power circuit in my living room to accommodate my Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, OnLive console, Valve console, Atari 2600, Region 1 blu-ray player, Region 2 blu-ray player, Laserdisc player, VCR, DVR, POW, laptop, Apple Mini, 100-speaker sound system, and 300" 4D TV.

    Last week my dog disappeared and I'm pretty sure he's somewhere behind my entertainment center. If anyone has some mountain climbing gear and a Jaws of Life, I would very much appreciate a hand.

      Between this and clean water, indoor plumbing, and air conditioning I don't know how we manage anymore.

      But apart from the clean water, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and the HDMI switchers... What have the Romans ever done for us?

      I'm pretty sure he was pulling your leg a little, since there are no Valve consoles yet and "VCR", whatever that is, sounds made-up.

      Sounds like you need the ultimate remote control. It will take a few years to make but it will last for many years. It's called having Children. That will take of the problem.
