So how's the Ouya as a Netflix and "external hard drive packed with .mp4s" player? I need something like that and Ouya seems like it'd fit the bill perfectly.

Buy a Roku instead imo.
Netflix works pretty well sideloaded, but using the touch-oriented app isn't as ideal as any console version of it. I tried a sideloaded OnLive a couple days ago, and if you thought it sucked before, it sucks even more on hardware not meant for it. DiRT 3 was nearly unplayable due to input lag.

One thing though, the media players currently do not support surround sound.

Considered a Roku, but I'm willing to shell out a bit extra for an emulator box. Assuming the Ouya costs more than a Roku, of course.

I've got the same scenario as James.
I'm very pleased with it so far, and things can only get better.
Get a Raspberry Pi instead imo. That's what my brother did, cool little piece of tech.
