But yeah the mark up is retarded. Basically these 55" screens are costing no more than what 1080p 3d led panels. The price drop off will happen by next fall I think.

Guaranteed they drop off once the tech is a year old and not the big new thing. Why do you think in tryin to make a few dollars off it now

I need Z parts son lol

oh man, this has a lot of potential to be a really awesome game! Despite not entirely agreeing with the direction the Alien franchise went I still love the universe it has become but I'm really existed to see the Alien getting back to its full glory in the original movie.

So to all of the hardcore pc guys in here do any of you guys use steam? And also have you been following CES and all the "steam machines" people have been announcing? I'm not a pc guy at all but this all seems interesting.

You're exactly the type of person they are marketing these boxes to! I think the biggest problem they will have initially is getting people to develop games for linux (SteamOS runs on a variant of linux). But I have a feeling developers will be happy to shed the world of Microsoft and DirectX its just going to take some time.

I'm personally most excited about a streaming machine. All the current SteamBoxes are equipped with fairly hefty hardware. I want to use my own personal computer I built to run the games and then use a very small form factor pc at my TV to stream the games. This is what I am excited for the most to date. the controller sounds interesting and I'm willing to give it a go but I have my doubts.

yes i agree. i myslef or any hardcore console gamer is their main target. i think most of the hardcore PC guys arent trying to have a "living room" experience on a TV or anything but then again you have PC gamers who use 42"+ monitors for gaming. essentially it's the same thing then lol

as for the linux stuff i could honestly care less lol that never really interested me in getting over a battle between it or MS/DX. although you can say i back MS/DX since i am a big xbox fanboy and xbox got its name from using the direct "X" system lol

my main gripe with steam and that whole thing is that it's basically like the hipster equilvilant of gaming. it's all about early alphas/betas and who played it first nonsense. also they do run some awesome deals on older/other games as well so dont get me wrong there. it is a nice platform of gaming and ways to access/obtain games. i still just find it laughable about the early offering stuff. i guess im a older gamer since i still think when i buy a game it should be you know finished lol but i do love with online stuff now they can update games with rosters for sports games and new maps/game types. i just hate things like GTA needing a million patches to run correctly. thats just awful to me but i still love the game lol

My tl;dr on the steam machine situation is that they are basically Alienware with a fancy proprietary OS but without the suck. They are dedicated gaming machines.

Unfortunately for Cody, you can't use them to play LoL or DotA.

some new thing Razor is making looks disgusting. it's a modular PC set-up with parts you just snap into a main tower piece. i dont PC game much at all but this set-up just looks awesome. even has a LCD screen for hardware statuses and maintence info.

It didn't used to be like that. I've been on steam for 10+ years and the whole greenlight, alpha/beta early access junk is recent within the past year. I'm right there with you, I don't buy games until they're fully released.

The nice thing about steam is that it downloads and applies the updates for you automatically. A patch on a console usually means something is seriously broken because the developers have to pay MS to release a patch. A patch on a pc game is usually expanding the content of the game but not always.

All of those boxes are FUGLY too. I don't understand why no one has anything decent looking yet. I will likely be building my own small form factor pc and dual booting windows and SteamOS on it for my media center.

I would imagine DOTA is going to be ported to linux since Valve owns the game now I believe. Just really a matter of time to get developer buy in.
