I only just noticed after looking at the photos in the news report, that if you turn the Steam logo upside down it looks like a c*ck and balls.
I think I need to go look at more cat videos.

Sir I do think you need some help if your gentleman parts look like that.

I personally love the case and wish my PC was that small. I will definitely consider one of these things when my current rig needs replacement in 2.5-3 years.

Yeah, it looks nice - a bit Apple, but that's not a bad thing.

A steam box is a pc and there's nothing to say you can't install another OS on it.

Even if Valve makes every a Linux version of every future game coming out, there will still be the problem of all current games that aren't on Linux
Wine or str eaming just won't cut it, Valve must come up with a better solution

The steam os is also free, only the hardware is not. That's the idea man, it's not to lock people out, it's to make things simpler. To get that power up and play mentality for a PC. It's OS first and hardware second.
Steam's linux game library is already pretty decent, and any games you buy on there that support any other OS do not require you to get a separate version (which sounds obvious, but many companies would try to screw you over on that). It's already a better start then any other console launch titles in terms of both quality and quantity. If they can get the user base up in numbers of people using the Steam OS they will be set. I can hope.

IM sorry this basically a PC in all in one box form? why would I buy it when I have pc and why would I buy it as a console when Consoles games are made for Specific Hardware for the life of the console.
This is basically running PC games off (linux off Steam) which are forever evolving unlike console. in 6 months forget about in year or 2's time there will be games this cant run at 1080p 60fps with out needing to be upgraded. Which would come back why would I buy this when I have pc? I see this as steams way of converting Console people to PC with out actual telling them to get pc, but once they fiqure it out that probably cheap to just get pc or make then this why would they buy.
But then we live in world where if you making people will buy no mater what.
