The few times they have to console, they've been playable. Guardians of Middle Earth is fun and I actually played a ton of BFME2 on 360.

It's going to be even harder for Gabe to push Windows out of gaming now that Xbox is using Windows as well.


That was never going to happen unless Microsoft just decided to exit the business.

I think so too as long as they are line with pricing. I have been pricing building my own HTPC/Steam box and I can easily build one for $400. No doubt they can do it cheaper and with proprietary software.


I'm not nearly computer savvy enough for that, but I want one.

How much is the cheapest version of Windows 7? I paid $800 for my computer now, about 2 years ago, and I've been damn happy with it.

I made that parts list yesterday trying to stay around $400 and get something that can be an HTPC and Steam Box for my living room. I am going to build it very soon.

I just haven't felt like playing games the past few weeks with so much personal shite on my mind but I am getting the itch again.
