OUYA unveiled the UK pricing structure for its Android based gaming console today. The console with one controller will set UK buyers back 99.99 pounds with additional Bluetooth controllers costing 39.99 pounds each. The device should hit UK shelves in June.

This news comes as the company is set to begin shipping the gaming consoles to its Kickstarter backers today. OUYA was backed by 63,416 people and grossed over $8.5 million for its Tegra 3 based console. If you did not get a chance to back the company's Kickstarter, OUYA has opened up pre-orders in both the US and UK through its website.

Yesterday I reported on Makerbot and OUYA teaming up to release a 3D printable customized case for the console, and after discussing things internally here at TweakTown, I have decided that I will print some special TweakTown Edition OUYA cases in TweakTown blue and we will hold a giveaway for them.

Keep checking back for more info on that giveaway plus a full review of the OUYA!
