As for the batteries, yes it has to run on batteries, there is no "port" anywhere on the controller where it could be plugged in. It's essentially like the Wii Remote in this regard.

I just use Rechargeable AAs for all of my controllers anyway so to me it's no different than the 360 controllers or Wii Remotes.

I would suspect that the battery life would be quite good since there are no rumble motors... I've been playing quite a bit the last few days and the batteries haven't died yet.

yea, I meant one that doesn't broadcast the SSID. It seems many devices have a problem with this setting. Like the PSVita, it has the option to add the SSID but it still can't connect to it, so I was curious if the Ouya is "smarter" don't want another 3m cable in my room.

That brown brushed metal finish looks superb
