There's a reason all gaming consoles have either exclusives or first party titles.
I got wrapped up in the idea and got in on the kickstarter for towards the end of it. I was one of the last people to get their console (barely had it for a month). Luckily they were able to work the manufacturing bugs out so my controllers don't suffer from any of the sticking button issues.

In the month or so I've had it, I've only played it 2-3 times. Now that's mostly because I just moved into a new place right after I got it, I've only turned on my 360 once.

It's a nice idea and it's a pretty fun time killer, but they desperately need to get developers on board and start making some games. I thought I was going to have access to all the games I had purchased on my phone (GTA3, Need for Speed, etc) but was sorely mistaken. That being said I have found several fun games and lost track of time playing them.

My biggest gripe is the free to try thing. I get that you just give away games for free and expect developers to jump on board, but there's very few things more annoying in a video game than getting through level 3 and being redirected to a "Buy the full version to continue" screen.
