Very. For $100 you get the console, controller, and the ability to play NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Gamecube, and PSone games, assuming you have the game ROMs. Plus, you get media apps like XBMC and can sideload tons of android apps.
the new game console coming out is the Ouya
The main problem (if you can even get the game onto the Ouya - it won't be giving you access to the app store or google play) is that phone games are made to use a touchscreen, while the Ouya has a traditional console controller, the game would have to be modified to work with this. The touchpanel on the Ouya's controller is for menu navigation only, it is in no way sensitive enough to be used as a stand-in for a genuine touch screen.
Android based gaming console with the ability to play game system emulators and sideload nearly all android apps
OUYA(new gaming console)
It came out December, 28, 2012 for devolpment, and it is publically coming out April 2013
The Ouya uses a mobile phone GPU and is being designed to play android-based games. It is not even close to being powerful enough to play big AAA console games.
Look out for amazing Ouya-exclusive titles such as; Visorman, OUYA Tycoon, Car Jumper, The Secret of Universe Alpha.
i have the game and i have to say NO, its not worth it at all.
It is better to buy PC for 100 pounds other than Ouya.
A Command console is worth 4c
