I read some article estimating the price to be like $600 but I don't know if that's the high end or the low end but next gen consoles will prob be $450 to $500 anyways. Expect 2014 release date. Something to pay attention too once more word comes out about next gen in the upcoming months

Yes to all of that. It's basically a console version of a pc that you have in your living room. You can install windows on it and it comes with Linux. Expect controllers and everything just like a console yet it's as powerful and customizable as a pc. But remember that it hasn't come out yet so it's to be determined how awesome it is but right now it makes sense to buy one over ps4 and 720

Does it have a network to connect with friends outside a game? A store to dl exclusive games not released on disc or remakes of games like gta? Does it do gaming, movies, stream movies and music, pics, and all other functions the ps3 and Xbox do? Or just gaming? I dont know anything about it but if it doesn't do everything a new age console can do than it isn't worth it to me and won't be a console killer.

It's basically a console for PC gaming and they are calling it a console killer. I say it looks awesome. I bought a Wii U for the Nintendo exclusives and if steam box works I'll buy it over the next gen because the games always look better and play better on pc anyways

What do you guys think of Valve's upcoming steam box? Probably the easiest way for all of us to play UT again instead of ranting about no servers and console support etc. From what I've read there will most likely be three dIfferent prices for the steam box and the graphics getting better the more you pay but the good thing is that we can change out everything ourselves so we can always make it look better if we can't afford the best at that time. Prices seem likely to be higher than consoles though :( But the good thing is that we won't have to buy a new console for the games to look better every couple of years.
