How many of you interested in steambox?

ARTICLE

Personally i'm better off enjoying my PC games on my desktop PC, i won't be upgrading to steambox. Better i upgrade my rig and invest in upcoming consoles.

What about you?

How many of you interested in steambox?

Interested only for streaming purposes.

Epic LAN parties are something I'd like to see again :P

I couldn't care less about it tbh.

Interested in it? Sure.

Interested in buying one for myself. No, I build my own PCs.

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.

No interest.

Nope, I got a PC.

Nah I have a PC

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.campzor

I'll be buying a new graphics card when I have money, so no.

I am. But I need to see more.

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

I've got a PC and only play Guild Wars 2 on it, so I've no interest in Steambox

Its all about MS, Sony & Nintendo for me they have the games I want

Now if only they would team up together and release a PSUBOX

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?)

I might be, I still have to see more about it.

No interest in it. I don't even know what the specs or anything are.

IF it's just going me semi like a pc. Then zero because i just use my current rig.

IF theres going be something special that hasn't been done on a pc yet then i may be interested,

BUT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T OWN A RIG should be interested IMO

Zero, the only reason some people even care about this is because of who is behind itfueled-system

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.

Depends on the price, i highly doubt i will get one.

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. blackace

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.

Already playing my PC on my 42" plasma. I already have a steambox so to speak

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.
