OUYA facts i would like to be answered?

ok so we know alot of gossip i going around about this new free to play gaming system but here are something that the developers have left out or probably forgot to inform people about:

-Will there be a disc trey or will ALL the games have to be download directly from the system's marketplace?

-Is there a place on the controller for a headset or chatpad for talking to your friends?

-Will there be a wireless adapter coming out for the OUYA so people won't need to connect there system directly to there router?

-Will you need internet to play games such MMORPG or will there be a feature where you can still play solo to raise a rank, do missions, or play just for fun?

-Will there be a "party" feature were you can invite people to a party or join a party to talk to only certain people or when you talk EVERYONE in the game hears and talks to you?

-Will the OUYA come out with skins for the console and controller?

and the most important question almost nobody has thought about...

- What all comes with a OUYA besides the console, however many controllers you ordered, A/V jacks, and a power cord? Will it come with other accessories such as a charge-base or charge-and-play for controllers if needed, a HDMI cord, a free game... the list could go on and on.

None of these questions have been answered to my knowledge, but i just wanted to know if anyone could answer ANY of these questions. If so, PLEASE answer.

Update:

Another interesting question i would like to know is: Will you be able to create a Gamertag, and will there be "Achievements","Trophies","Rewards", or "Badges" for all the work we put into gaming?

    1) No disc tray. This has been specified from the start of the project. All games will be required to be downloaded, or loaded from a USB device.

    2) No idea on the whether the controller supports peripherals, but the console itself will have bluetooth support, so I don't see why it would be necessary to add such a feature to the controller.

    3) Yes, it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built into the console.

    4) That will be up to the individual game developers, not the people making the Ouya console.

    5) Again, that will be up to the game developers, not the people making the console.

    6) Probably not. Skins are usually either fan-made or done as part of a game pack-in bundle. Though there is a limited edition copper console that you could only get by pledging a certain amount during the Kickstarter campaign.

    7) I doubt it will come with anything other than what is required to play it. It would increase the cost of production, which, in turn, would increase the retail price of the console. They're specifically trying to keep the cost as low as possible, so packing all that junk in, when most people don't even want it, would be counter-productive.

    8) Yes, you will create a gamertag. People who supported Ouya on Kickstarter have already reserved theirs. I haven't heard much about Achievements... but it's likely, since it's become the norm for consoles these days.
