if the steambox is for pc games, why would i buy it when i would most likely need a keyboard/mouse to play the game (a rts for example) and therefore wont be able to play it on the couch, and would need a computer/laptop.

Not interested... I don't use steam a lot. I still prefer a physical copy and when it requires steam that's the only time I use it.

Nnnnnot really. I mean... I got a PC. Some years down the line when it needs upgrading, I'll upgrade that. I don't really see the point of the Steambox, honestly.

I don't need it since I have a PC already, but I'm curious about it. I think it could definitely expand the audience for PC gaming like never before, and the idea of having a slick pre-built HTPC that is good for gaming has always appealed to me (even though I could just as easily build one for myself).

Very interested since it'll be linux based and I'd like to see more games optimized for the OS. As for purchasing one myself? No, but I'll consider purchasing some of their hardware (controllers) to use with my PC.

The Steambox is going to have its own controller. Having said that, I'm not interested in the slightest. I'll stick with my PC, thanks.

steambox probably wouldn't be able to do 1/10 of the things my pc do now, so why bother?

Well, Im interrested to see what it is, and what they wanted it to be. But I would never buy one no.

I have this strange Idea that the Steambox (or rather its sucessor) will end up being the only console the gen after the next (and likely the last of them). Where hardware manufactors build some console, and both MS and Sony will have transferred thier gaming to "services" which will liekly end up on that kind of hardware. Nintendo will still cling to thier hardware for a while longer.

Only a prediction, but when we hear how expensive it is to make the hardware, how much they are going to push non physical "services" I suspect that we really will see that one anomonous hardware console, and the services.

Since that is NOT really what we want, it will likely also be the last physical consoles we get. This IS a money game afterall especially for console makers.

So I am interrested in it for what it can possible do to the future of consoles, but the steambox in itself? naah, not really. My love for consoles vained a whole lot when they tryied to imitate PC's too much (and since nearly every man on earth have a PC, why then bother?)

Not really.

I'm interested in any useful functionality it might have. If I cna use it as a way to stream my games ot my TV, AND it can handle media center stuff (maybe by installign windows 8 on it), then I'll p[ick one up and sell/give away my current Home Theater PC.

I have no interest in it at all. I'll be surprised if hermits care that much about it when they already have their own awesome PC's in front of them. It'll be like "The Phantom" with STEAM running on it. Because this is STEAM based, I'm sure it's aimed at PC gamers more then consoles gamers. Good luck with that Valve. We'll see just how dedicated your fanbase is to your company and hardware.

Little to no interest in PC gaming, they should rename it to flopbox.

Console gamers could care less about STEAM. They care more about console exclusives. Most console gamers who do care about STEAM already have a capable PC to play games off of STEAM. You can see by the comments in this thread that both PC and Console gamers won't be buying one of these anytime soon. I wonder if Valve even researched gamers on this before even starting the concept?

I have a PC that can play pretty much anything out there. I have no need for it, unless they start making exclusive games for it. And that would be really annoying.

After CES I lost most of my interest. It seems like it's going to have multiple tiers with specs all over the place which will likely lead to all of the issues that make PC gaming a pain. On top of that, the price seems like it's not going to be like a good deal for a PC and the big thing going for it seems like it's an easy way to connect a PC to your TV... as if simply plugging a HDMI cable up is far beyond the mental capacity of anyone that isn't building custom rigs.

I think PC gamers will want a steambox more than they think. I have a good desktop PC in my room which will max anything. But i have over 200 steam games and i wouldn't mind playing some of those downstairs on my HDTV sometime.

I wouldn't pick up a steambox right away but somehwhere down the line i would.

Why is the first thing I think of when I read steambox, is someone taking a dump on another person. Gen 8 will be known as the poorly named console generation. But the steambox really does have 3do written all over it.
