OUYA 'around the size of a Rubik's cube'
by Steve Watts, Jul 23, 2012 2:00pm PDTWhile Android-based console OUYA still has a few more days of fundraising left, many are curious to find out more about the device. Hardware designer Yves Béhar has answered a few questions about what the final product might look like.
"I don't know what others are doing in the future, but we have made a deliberate attempt to go away from current shapes," he said. "Our console is quite small, around the size of a Rubik's cube, and so it will easily fit anywhere in a room, or be easy to throw in a backpack."
Other revelations in the Kotaku Q&A include the possible inclusion of Start and Select buttons. The face buttons may be named after the console itself (O, U, Y, and A), but Béhar says the team is welcoming "creative suggestions."

And what are the chances they'll run into a mountain patent issues. Has Nintendo lost the cross shaped d-pad patent? Googling OUYA pictures looks like it's obviously cross shaped.
If the Nintendo patent is actually expired then maybe we'll get some nice cross style pads in the next Xbox controller.
