It's been reported that Valve (Makers of Steam, Portal, Half Life, etc.) is in the midst of developing a console based around Steam.

It has been dubbed "The Steam Box" and may debut at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) or at E3.

They've also been reported to release USB controllers based around Major League Gaming (MLG) Pro Controllers.

Do you happen to have a link for some article over this? I would like to read about it. I doubt I would buy it because I can just barely afford to purchase games for my Xbox 360. Although that would be different if it happened to be really cheap, but I doubt it. Still would be interesting to read about.

Oh, a console to play all of our Steam games for us on a computer that doesn't suck? (aka me) This would certainly be interesting.

But what about the people who actually have good computers? What reason would there be for them to buy one of these when they can just play on their computer/laptop?

And like rcarter said, do you have a link to an article?

This doesn't really affect me, since I already OWN almost every Valve game...

But still, it'd be interesting to see a Steam console... especially if they can get some third party people to develop for them.

Valve has the money to make a system... and they could even be a power if they really capitalized on their franchise... like not letting other consoles have their exclusives. They'd really be a contender.

Don't know about you guys, but I would HATE to see Valve enter the console wars. I hope this console is not confirmed and the rumors are false, I just really don't want a "steam box".

A steam console would be interesting since they have a great platform already for distributing digital content to users. Just another step in the direction to getting rid of physical copies of video games.

It's saddening to say, but Valve has said that they will not release a system in the next few years.

Wow, I did not know that.  I do not think that will happen cause they are not going to beat the 3 legendary companies that we have right now.

Marcmoney : It's been denied, but they have stated that if they need to make a system, they will.

Also, I know a lot of people that would buy a Valve system.
