Kidding! You guys knew what i meant, right?

Well if you didn't i'm ofcourse talking about the new Steam Box(s)! It keeps getting mentioned and i myself am very interested so i thought what the hay, we may aswell have a dedicated thread for it

Thats all well and good Daz, but what is it?! Dammit! Good question, and one that would be better answered with some good reading, rather than my ramblings.

So here you go:

Valve Steam Box news and features @ TechRadar.com

Why Valve's Steam Box is a console killer @ TechRadar.com

Valve's Gabe Newell Gives Details on Steam Box @ TomsHardware.com

The Promise and Potential Pitfalls of Valve's Steam Box @ IGN.com

The info is pretty much the same in all articles (bar the failure risk in IGN's) but it's good practice to get info from a few sources

FYI the "Piston" is not Valve's own or the SteamBox! It is a SteamBox being developed by Xi3. It may or may not look like this:



Anyone else here interested in this? It could be market changing stuff! Then again it may not..
