I still don't understand the steam thing? is it basically a gimped PC?

If I already have a PC why would I buy it?


It's a PC that is aimed to connect to your PC and is focused around steam.  So in other words a console.  All consoles are PCs focused around a gaming aspect and connects to your tv.  We don't have much information on it at the moment but that is how I understand it so far.


So a gaming focussed PC that you plug into your TV?   A console then?  I'm still struggling with it in terms of standards, i.e. the ever changing PC requirements.

Wont this just hamper PC gaming progression.  It seems to be completely at odds with what PC gaming is about. 


Well they're using the words PC/console at the moment so that is how I'm saying it but it has more in common with a console than a PC at the moment.  I'm sure you will be able to use keyboard/mouse still and everything like that, but it appears to be a console.  The most confusing information that I've recieved so far is they will have many manufacturers.  This points at it being a cheap gaming PC.
