Just buy a decent PC for a bit more.

Seriously look at some of those manufacturers.... make sure you get a warranty.

This is going to fail. HARD.

Agreed.

OUYA, Sony Xperia Play, Windows Surface, VITA TV, Zune. Most hardware devices fail.

There's no need for this device. I can't see it take off.

lol and Swedish retailer Webhallen is listed as a supporting manufacturer. I love Webhallen but I never thought I would see their name listed on a worldwide site.

I dint really mean that.  I meant as a concept it will fail hard.  But looking at those manufacturers perhaps it will fail hard there too. lol

What do you mean "as a concept"? The Steam-box OS and online system and Steam console/PC-hybrid hardware box are tied together and will fail or succeed as one unit, don't you think?
