You can find the preorder details at http://www.ouya.tv/buyouya/ .

The preorder will set you back $109 if you're in the U.S. and $119 international, just a tad pricier than Kickstarter adopters who are only shelling out $99. You'll be paying for the console, along with one controller. Unfortunately, Kickstarter donors have a leg up on those who preorder now, as they'll be getting the console in March 2013, a whole month before current preorder customers.

The Ouya was first dubiously received earlier when it was unveiled just a few weeks back. However, the well-known industry names behind the console, along with a clever deal with OnLive, has turned many doubtful about the indie console's success into believers.

The Pre-order is a good deal since there are currently no 99 dollar Android based Smartphones, Tablets, or Android Game consoles which have the hardware performance and gaming community and developers and online services which Ouya have.

According to http://www.ouya.tv/buyouya/ the pre-order price includes shipping and handling. The international price is also not bad since shipping stuff outside of the US is expensive.
 
I won't pre-order but I know a lot of big game websites will for review.
 
I think the big game websites most likely donated $99 or more during the donation drive on Kickstarter before the pre-order to get their game consoles a month earlier, or some of the very big websites will get it for free to review in exchange for free advertising by writing a review or recording a video review, and posting it on YouTube, and the other big video sharing sites.

I also won't pre-order it now since I want to see if there are any exclusives for the Ouya which makes it worth pre-ordering.
