As Jordan said this morning, OUYA very deliberately set its price at $99 and will be offering games on a “free-to-try” basis, which founder Julie Uhrman says is a core tenet of OUYA itself. In the big picture, with today’s announcements, GamePop and OUYA seem to be proving that there’s plenty of demand out there for an affordable gaming console. Though, from the looks of it, the industrial design appears to bear some resemblance to D-Link’s Boxee Box. Asus, for one, has the most Android experience, but that’s just speculation at this point.īlueStacks unveiled GamePop at GDC, allowing developers to take an early look at the gaming service, but has yet to put any in the hands of either developers or reporters.

But considering the startup has already struck distribution agreements with several recognizable names in the PC ecosystem, like Intel, AMD, Asus, MSI and Lenovo, it’s probably safe to say that at least one of those companies played a hand in the design, production and distribution. Naturally, for this early flight, BlueStacks is selling GamePop exclusively through its own site, but after the first round of shipments, likely beginning next year, expect GamePop to begin showing up in stores.Īs for who is responsible for manufacturing and producing BlueStacks’ new gaming console, the company isn’t revealing the man behind the curtain yet. Right now, gamers can pre-order GamePop from BlueStacks’ homepage (which redirects to ), with consoles expected to ship this winter. After May, it will probably be more like $184 for 12 months of gameplay.
Of course, $100 is the “estimated” value, and gamers can get their hands on the whole package for $84 (for a year of the service) now, so take that for what it’s worth. The price of the console has yet to be determined, but the company tells me that GamePop has an “estimated value of approximately $100,” so one can probably expect the pricing to fall in that range - or five times that, depending on how saucy BlueStacks is feeling.

Well, actually, the console is free through the end of May, at which point BlueStacks will slap on a price tag. The new package, called “GamePop,” includes a custom console and game controller for free, as part of its $6.99/month service. Looking to tap into a huge new audience, BlueStacks is today bringing those 750K-plus Android apps not just to PCs and Macs, but to TVs as well with its own gaming console and subscription service. Today, hot on the heels of the news that OUYA has landed $15 million from Kleiner Perkins to bring its affordable, $99 Android-friendly gaming console to the masses, BlueStacks is firing back with some news of its own. Last week, the company announced that it had passed the 10 million user milestone, nearly half of which were added in the first quarter of this year. BlueStacks, the startup known for bringing Android apps to PCs and Macs, has been growing like a weed.
