The Android-based Ouya console can better match the rest of your electronics today thanks to an all-black version that also promises to fix the problems of the original.
Its 16GB of internal flash storage trumps the 8GB found in the two-tone black and gray edition that first launched as a Kickstarter-funded product.
Refined controller, boosted WiFi
The all-black console also contains a refined controller and boosted WiFi, according to an Ouya press release today.
When we asked how the controller changed, a company spokesperson said that it "includes updated firmware for improved connectivity."
That means you're not going to get stuck with the older, lag-prone Ouya gamepad. It was phased-out last year, but still made buying the previous model a random draw; the old and new boxes looked alike.
This new version contains textured thumbsticks, non-sticking action buttons and tighter triggers right out of the box.
Ouya now matches the PS4 and Xbox One with a matte black scheme, but it may eventually have some Android-based competition from Amazon, its closest retailer.
