Did everyone forget that most TV's have PC inputs? Or that most Gaming PC's have HDMI cables? I haven't been following the Steam Machine very closely, but i can already play from my rocker, office chair, or couch already. Why would i need to buy a new piece of hardware just so i can do what i can already do? The only way i can see me getting a Steam Machine is that all PC games stop supporting Windows. I do like the idea of the controller though, I'm looking forward to getting that.
Then again, i could be missing the point... If i am, please reply, i would love to have a good reason to buy this. It sounds like a great idea for Indie developers and i would love to get behind it.
