Will it have a disc drive? If it's a steam box and running Linux (!? srs !?) I guess it's going to be digital downloads only? So you probably aren't going to be watching any dvds on the thing. Presumably devs will need to port their games to Linux to run on a steam box? It sounds like hassle. Newell is all like 'Ooh I think PC manufacturers will be releasing PCs for the living room from next year' lots of people already have a PC for their living room, they either have a 360/PS3 or an actual PC in there already to play games on, or they have a laptop, or a tablet. What sector of the market is the Steambox designed to fill? Because I can't find it.
