Do you think the Ouya's worth the plunge?

I'm saving up for a PS3 right now, but hot damn...
Relevant:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOuJ4LhHXeg (because of the song, not the game. Does anyone know what game that is, anyway? Looks pretty awesome)
Anyway, my PS3 bricked a couple of months ago and I sold if for 40 bucks, and I've been saving to get a new one for a while. I've got basically 20 videogames waiting to be played on my shelf that I can't even touch, but I digress.
The Ouya looks like a machine that can actually change the videogame industry, though it's entirely possible I'm just buying into all the hype here. It's not the actual machine you're buying, I think, but what you're buying into. It's cultural capitalism, as Zizek would say, at its finest: You're not even purchasing a product you're supporting indie gaming as a concept. The product itself implicitly explores the notion of you as a videogame developer by including developer kits on every package, which is a motion I quite approve of, to be quite honest. The gems that may well come out of that little machine may just well be Pink Panthers and malachites of unspeakable beauty, thought it's wholly possible only trinkets of no worth will come of it.
The project's already acquired well over five million dollars in a few days, and supplies are running out, so the time to act is now.
This represents a big invesment for me: I'm denying Nathan Drake the privilege to be played by me (albeit just for another few months at the most) for a product I won't even get till the end of next year; a product whose mere inexistence implies a huge probability of flunking, not even reaching the welcome mat of the many-roomed palace of success.
What do you think, guys? Are you getting the dream machines that are flipping of the system?
Bear in mind that the processor they're implementing into the Ouya looks pretty damn awesome, and that the Ouya controller will not feature shoulder buttons.
