OUYA have announced that Kickstarter back consoles are now shipping. they are being shipped out in waves over the next few weeks and emails will be sent out before they are posted. OUYA have released some information for the Kickstarter Backers:

• When you first boot it up, you’ll experience our first update :) This will either be super fast (seconds) or allow you to get a drink (minutes) based on your connection speed. Eventually, we want to do these updates in the background…
• You’ll need a credit/debit card to download games. All games are still free to try. Your card will only be charged if you buy content you love. We do want valid payment information for everyone. This is to ensure that game developers can get paid when you love their game.
• OUYA supports up to four controllers (you can always get more at http://ouya.tv). And, because we support Bluetooth, you can pair other devices as well.  We are testing now and will start publishing a list of devices soon.

OUYA have also announced that the console will be coming out at retail on 4th June. between now and the June retail release, The OUYA console will continue to get firmware updates and they want Kickstarter Backers to get in touch with suggestions and feedback.
