No, not for the cubelets, but for revolights. But now that you mention it, I wonder if we ever got the cubelets kit we ordered for the Interaction Workshop??? Impressive funding for the Ouya project, now over 3 millions after a day of launching. Can't wait to see how it turns out. It's fun to see how the kickstarter website struggle cope with so many backers/comments. It's awkward to navigate the comments for example :-) A nice problem to have I would say.

That was the Cubelets project, right? I funded it, but realized after four months that it simply was not worth it.

For the Ouya, the execution plays a major part for the future of the product and other similar initiatives.

Great to see massive support for such project. Personally, what burns me with kickstarter is that project owners can do whatever they want once the project is funded. I funded a project last year, and then it was postponed 3-4 times, now about 1 year late. And then ask for additional shipping due to new shipping configuration… => not good.

I’ll wait and see the final realization of this console before dropping some coins for it. Great move towards open hardware though.

Primo, I’ll need a TV or a HDMI capable monitor…
