| 1263038 | 2012-03-04 23:24:00 | www.stuff.co.nz I'm not a fan of all the divisive gaming consoles, with all the different hardware, and the resultant stuff-ups that happen trying to cater to all the platforms (eg id's Rage mess up with drivers for the PC), so in some ways this might be a move to celebrate. On the other hand, there's so many people who dislike Steam. Personally, I think it's a good move, and is the one that just might have a chance to get me off a PC and onto a console. |

| 1263039 | 2012-03-04 23:57:00 | Im in need of a pc upgrade, the old core2duo and 4850 is getting a little slow. I would be keen a steam console, | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1263040 | 2012-03-05 00:21:00 | Its a branded PC.... wow. No doubt even further dumbed down with a "simplified" interface laid over windows. Total suck idea. So far I have only ever seen third party interference with windows make it worse. |

| 1263041 | 2012-03-05 00:26:00 | True Metla but at what price? I cant afford a $2000 gaming pc but i could afford a $500 console | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1263042 | 2012-03-05 00:29:00 | You are in luck, $500 consoles have been on the market for years. I'd hate to see the state of a $500 branded "gaming" PC. Steam wont be doing NZ any favors. |

| 1263043 | 2012-03-05 02:05:00 | If this is true and I think it is likely, I will bet you HL3 is what they use to promote it. | scottmcp432 (16647) | ||

| 1263045 | 2012-03-05 21:37:00 | Im a PC guy and not a console guy, but I have to admit, they don't have problems with getting games working like we do, and their games are built to work well on their hardware. Now if we had a PC platform that could serve the same purpose it might work. | RusEvo (3572) | ||
| 1263046 | 2012-03-05 22:59:00 | Absolutely. You can't afford it so **** hardware is a great idea. Like we need yet another crap console anyway. Yet the PS3 runs games fine and is $500 so go figure, it isnt a crap console, except it is a sony doesnt mean they will be installing GTX580s and core i7 cpus in them. If they run games fine then im all go for it |
