Every single one of you will look like fools in 3 years. Valve = genius.

And they're not trying to "dethrone" anyone really. There's just a lot of space in the living room for what they're offering. As a Linux fanboy (yeah I said it) and a major admirer of Valve (though I don't do Steam really), I have to say that I will certainly be getting one.

I mean, it's a better buy than a PC for the living room since it will do everything the PC does already.

Can't believe the users here aren't aware of Valve's midas touch.

Not to mention that they have the most loyal fanbase out there.

I use steam all the time. it is my gaming plat form. but a steam box is useless to  me. A pc with windows and steam (and that i build myself) is prefered to another fragment in the os field. I made my choice to stick with windows for it all. steam on windows is great, but with out its of no use to me atleast.

You know you can run windows inside linux right?

I get what you're saying though.

But I disagree. This is the awesomest thing on the horizon for me. They are just.too.smart to fuck up anything. Betting on Valve is always a good idea.


so why not just run windows with steam installed, that way you aren't running a virtual windows that may not funtcion as well. seems like if windows is still wanted that would be the easier smarter way. so again this steam machine is kind of useless. as a steam user i see no need for it. do you use steam?
