So for those who probably don't know, it appears that the Steam Box, Valve's first home console, has been officially confirmed and is predicted to come in 2013(that is, if we don't die before that ).
As far as sources go, I'm not too good on that(I heard it on Screwattack's Hard News so yeah...) so if possible, somebody else find a reliable source.
So, any thoughts or comments? I'd say this is interesting... for Valve to be stepping it up and joining the big league.
It's probably just going to be a barebones PC that does nothing but run Steam. Unless it's easy to upgrade the hardware I don't really see the point. It's entering the already crowded console market. People who are a fan of Steam are mostly tech savvy enough to already have a competent PC and those who aren't are happy enough with their xboxs or playstations.

Uh not really no. Pretty much every game released on PC gets on Steam.
