It's pretty cool, I bet that "Steambox" is coming soon.

Has anybody tried it yet? It looks like it's throwing the dashboard in the bushes

oh my bad, I posted in the other Arcadium Moderator's thread on this topic

I already have my PC hooked up to my "TV". it seems the only innovative thing about this is the controller integration, and that doesn't impress me much

I still can't see the point of it but anything that challenges other console makers to advance things more is ok in my book.

If the price point for it falls under $400 and it has some power under the hood, it could be a problem, mainly cause developers wouldn't have to pay a licensing fee.

Valve Is Bringing Steam To Your TV Today. Watch Out, Consoles.

"We're confident in some things that customers want," Valve's Greg Coomer, head of the small team that designed and developed Big Picture mode, told me in his office. "They want a full-screen experience. They want to be in the living room. They want to use a game controller. They wanna have a social gaming experience. And we have this platform that lets us ship a significant portion of that experience."

...

"What we really want is to ship [Big Picture mode] and then learn," Coomer said. "So we want to find out what people value about that. How they make use of it. When they make use of it. Whether it's even a good idea for the broadest set of customers or not. And then decide what to do next.

"So it could be that the thing that really makes sense is to build the box that you're describing. But we really don't have a road map. And we think we're going to learn a tremendous amount through this first release."
