A few days ago report that Ouya, a new console with Android 99 USD would be in production. Today the project came to Kickstarter and released technical details of the console, and the reason why manufacture and offer it to all users.
The idea of “I want to play on my TV” is the concept that drives this project is concerned with an alternative to the rules imposed by the big publishers and console manufacturers. Ouya is offered as an attractive option to developers which will not pay a penny for publishing games that users can enjoy on your TV.
Games

At the price it comes to USD $1.99 USD to USD $59.99 for a complete experience. It depends on the developer how to fix the price.
Ouya game in question has the support of people like Brian Fargo, Adam Saltsman (Canabalt) and the very Markus “Notch” Persson (Minecraft). In the dashboard console titles as we Samurai II: Vengeance , Shadowgun , Trigger Dead , Canabalt , Minecraft and even Madden NFL 12.

Hackers welcome.
Here's an exerpt from kickstarter.com:
"Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty). Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!"
Lastly a message straight from Ouya's developer Kickstarter:
"All we need is you.
With your help, we need to:
Convert our prototype to production-ready models and get all the regulatory approvals (yeah, we need these to sell them)
Deliver developer kits (for early developers so we can have games on day one, though every console will include an SDK once we launch)
Place our first production orders (we are working with a manufacturing firm with lots of game hardware experience, but we need to know how many to make!)
Ideally, fund some initial game development (i.e., 1st-party games)
And if you’re international, we want your help too…gaming is global, and we will get you OUYA. We still have a lot to figure out in regards to rights and countries, but it can be done. Look what we've accomplished already!
Show the world, through your numbers, that you're out there.
Show them you're ready to level the playing field. Enlist others. The more we raise, the more we can do.
OUYA: THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED"
