"Badges!? We don't need no steenkin' badges!"

Good Luck, anyway.

Time to register "Ewok Band"

"Financial terms of the EA-Disney deal were not disclosed."

They travelled in single file to hide their numbers?

So they've gone from trying to compete with the PS3/360 to trying to compete with the OUYA.

@emperiox I take it you missed the two-hour event where they revealed the system specs.
