Yesterday morning I spent some time getting the console out of its box, updating the firmware, looking for games, etc… It didn’t go all super smooth: it took me almost an hour to update the firmware and configure the 4 controllers – 2 OUYA controllers and 2 PS3 controllers. It was all decided on that evening at a restaurant, and my friends eventually came over to my place, yesterday.
