Gamers-Association- "Last week at CES Valve officially started showing off some of the first Steam Machine Models. For anybody who hasnt heard the Steam Machines are essentially going to be gaming PCs that are more simple and console like, and hook up to your TV. This is essentially Valves big push into our living rooms. I only really dabble with Steam. I play most of my games on consoles, and use my laptop mainly for little indies that I hear are great, and dont look like they will be coming to console any time soon. Leading up to this announcement I was really excited for the prospect of Steam Machines. But looking at everything we know right now, I just cant make myself care."

"As it stands, the open-beta version of SteamOS - the operating system that will power Valve's TV-focused Steam Machine console/PC hybrids - simply allows users to play Steam games, falling drastically short of the multimedia capabilities of Sony and Microsoft's consoles.
But, according to Sweet, Valve aims to have movies, TV and music integrated into the system before its final public launch."
The controller will use two AA batteries, and the blog says that Valve is "keeping VR in mind while developing the controller."
Valve is currently hosting the developer-only event Steam Dev Days in Seattle. Attendees were given their own prototype controller in a goodie bag, and they will also receive a Gigabyte Steam Machine.
