I read somewhere that the shield will allow access to your Steam library. CS:GO on the GO!  ;D

Steambox might be cool for people who don't own a PC.

The shield I think is gonna bomb.

It's a good idea, but meh... I don't know.

That's actually a good idea. If the prototype they displayed at the meet is going to have the same interchangeable features, I guess ( and I really hope ) that thirdparty cases are made with connectors and a working cooling system so you ccould have different cases.

This is a good idea, a lot of people just want to play the game and not worry about anything else. And a console is too constrictive

Just so you guys know, the piston has been confirmed(by Valve.) to NOT be the steambox, and the steambox won't be even released this year.

Holy shit these look awesome.

I like the shield, looks like something I'd want to get. The Steambox is pretty awesome too, but I am not really interested in another computer. :P

Steambox is awesome, however they are small and I hear they run on AMD APU's.

Shields... Android. Are you going to 4k output angry birds or something? lol
