would be awesome if steam made a wireless pc to tv connection
What's the difference between using it on my pc screen and my tv screen? is it just the size?
I hope they bring out a little black box with the steam logo on, and you slip the disk in and then play.
That'd be goood.

I think so. Imagine PC definition, but on a screen so big you can actually appreciate all the graphic minutiae.
Hat advertisements.
I'm not sure why you can't just hook your PC up to your TV, but this sounds pretty cool. If they make a little console, that'd be sweet.
Who has TVs these days? You can watch free TV on your computer, get with the times.

I think its intended for people without graphics cards/tvs with HDMI since, to my knowledge, there isnt a TV that uses VGA or DVI.

Common argument for consoles is you get to chill on the sofa

But why would you pay a premium to have steam on your TV with a controller, when you can do the exact same thing with a console for a fraction of the price?
To RPS's question, playing on a TV is pretty nice. Get two usb extenders for your mouse+keyboard if you don't have wireless ones, and hook up a VGA cable from your pc to your TV, sound cable too if you won't use something better like a home theater or sound system. I don't get why people say it's hard or complicated to hook up your PC to a tv, it takes just as much effort as connecting two cables instead of a single HDMI cable, and that if your video card doesn't have onboard sound for HDMI (Mine doesn't)
Also I can use either mouse+keyboard for a PC gaming experience or hook up a 360 controller in the USB port and play games just like their console counterparts, except with higher resolution and steam overlay.
In any case, I've got a 19" monitor hooked up as a secondary in case some of my friends come over to play 360, that's only connected to the TV.

"and to show off how this works we will be playing half life 2 episode 3"
I sometimes wheel my computer out to my living room, hook it up HDMI to the TV and Optical for the audio to our 7.1 surround sound. When Nvidia releases the drivers for playing on 3DTVs I'm going to end up doing it a lot more, especially with this!

What is this "disk" you talk about?
I hope this makes it easier to chill on my bed/couch while I play PC games with a gamepad. Not totally sure exactly what it is.
I play my games one a hd beamer, that's 9.8 feet of gaming pleasure!
This would be awesome!
My monitor IS my TV already.

Oh fuck wait they removed coolbert? DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL
Can we just skip to an age where televisions have integrated thin clients, houses are pre-wired with fiber-optics, and everything is done off a central home computer system?

Soon after, an epidemic of suicides happens... Nobody knows why.
When my monitor broke i used my 42" Television as my monitor, plopped the giant thing on my desk.
I look back on those as the greatest moments of my life
Valve ain't getting my TV :colbert:

Porn.
If Valve made a console and released most the games that are already on the store, I would totally buy it. Just the Steam Console better have input for most competitor controllers and also keyboard and mouse.
