Ouya competitor GameStick launching worldwide in October

The Android-based microconsole market gets a bit more crowded in time for Halloween.

Developer PlayJam confirmed that its GameStick device launches worldwide Oct. 29 for $80. GameStick, like Ouya, uses Android as a backbone to serve up games on a television. The GameStick name refers to the size of the device, which is no bigger than a standard USB thumb drive. It also locks into its controller for easy portability.
