@MatrixGamer78 I'd like to give it a spin before passing judgement. Surface Windows 8 Pro is not yet shipping and will be significantly more expensive at $1000 (128 GB model (83 GB actual storage)).
@Danny_KickAzz When you buy that not-yet-shipping and more expensive "Surface with Windows 8 Pro" [actual product name] with the 1 TB HD hanging off it, please let us know how it works out running Steam apps. We're interested!
@laimis911 1080p max resolution will put consoles one generation behind cutting edge 4K UHD resolution displays now coming out. Even the iPad pushes more pixels than that. Next gen must go to at least 4K ultra high definition (about 4000 pixels).
Fun idea for an installation, not so fun for gaming. Gaming is about immersion and ignoring the boundaries of the frame. This technology emphasizes the limitations of the frame and constantly reminds you of the room you are in.
I also wonder how many developers would actually work with this API. A guess: Take the number of 3D-ready games, divide by 10.
Gaming on a OLED 60"+ 4K screen seems more compelling, and more probable to materialize. There are plenty of vendors at CES showing just such kit.
