So this is the rumored "steam Box"?

Dat price! Still, I guess it's for the dedicated. You don't really need it to steam games after all.

What's with all the complaining? Did you really expect this to be cheap?



i like the price jump for 128gb more space^^

i wonder how valve will handle that, the "box" of this company here has to make money with every sold unit because they don't get money from game sales but valve could sell their steambox for a small loss and getting the money from the 30% or whatever which they get for sales on steam but if they make it cheaper as the other companies they would screw them.

so, if they will sell it for a loss other companies won't have a chance to sell those boxes as well, if they won't sell it for a loss i don't think it could be really successful saleswise but valve doesn't need to sell it like console manufacturers, even 100k sold units could be enough as long as they get the development costs back.
