Looks like the Steam Box will be Linux based.

I get the feeling from what I've read that there is a fair chance a VR headset will be included with the Steam Box and VR will be a focus for it. Could be an in house developed headset or Oculus Rift.

Gaben is planning to put the whole steam libraly on cloud like OnLive. Iam pretty sure this is his master plan 

VR unit sounds pretty good too

Pandora successor could be a mobile Steam Box... if it were to go X86 (Bay Trail).

Still wondering if a Linux based Steambox can succeed...

Looks like the Steam Box will be Linux based.

I highly doubt that seriously, unless they want to launch a machine with 1% of the games of the catalog...

By the way, did you see that?

Indeed looks like Gabe is going for Linux-based hardware...

A countdown timer, mysterious symbols, a joypad trailing away from a TV screen..

That controller has 3 buttons! You know what that means?

It's for the Cat that's looking on from the corner? That would explain the lack of analogue sticks too.
