So we don't actually know the hardware but what do you think of the goals Valve is trying to achieve with this? Will you buy one?

Could be fun to play on a console against PC players.[/quote]Guess who's getting wrecked.[/quote] I play on PC using an Xbox controller as I can't stand mouse & keyboard for FPSs and I don't have any trouble without aim assist.[/quote]You got it all wrong. Console games are slightly different to their PC counterparts, it doesn't matter what your using as an input device its the hardware, Software and connections that make all the difference. Console games don't allow the same accuracy as you would find on the PC which has the mouse n keyboard with more precision. After all how many games on the console give you an option for aim assist?

It's probably not the steambox but Xi3 is probably the company that will make the steamnox.[/quote]Why does this not qualify as 'the steambox' to you? Seems like it's designed to run with Steam's BigPicture form in mind to me.[/quote] It's a "steambox" but it's not Valve's steambox. It doesn't have the Valve logo on it. Therefore it's [i]just[/i] a tiny PC.

Microsoft even tested the possibility to combine the 2 to see what would happen and the console players got so destroyed it wasn't funny.[/quote]And that is why the PC won't get crossplay with the consoles (not including the Steambox or whatever since it'll probably support mouse and keyboard).

That is all[/quote]Of course its made by somebody else Valve has no experience building gaming hardware, also everybody called it the Steam box it wasn't actually the official name.

That's pretty sweet!

I think I'll stick to my Xbox, but we'll see. I've been known to be impatient and impulsive with my purchases.
-
Already sitting in front of my TV, so I won't buy it.

Why did they need to make it so small? They could of it made it a little bigger to be more powerful. No point in this. Might as well get a gaming laptop and plug it into your tv like I do.
