Is it Linux based for sure, though? The Xi3 guy said it can run...well, anything. I'd be surprised if the OS was locked into one choice only.Mr.Mattress said:Sorry pal, it's not a Console, it's a Semi-Fixed Linux Based PC, not a new Video Game Console... Sorry.
Umm, I'm pretty sure you described the Steam box there - I was under the impression that Valve aren't making The Steam Box? but it would rather be like a specification by Valve.

I find it funny that there were 4 articles on the new Pokemon Game hours before the Escapists yet there is only 1 on the Steambox hours after the Escapist posted theres!
