All this free time doing other things...

...and still no HL2:E3...

As for the console, it's cool for those that are diehard Source fans (I'm guessing it's for only their games at this point? Or limited titles like the Wii? Or will it support all games, and be a third major console? ), but I already have a PC capable of running their games just fine. Plus you can't beat the ability to mod games, and not being limited to Source. And when it's time to get something new, I'm getting another PC, not this, and I'm sure that's what most people will do.

Honestly, I'm having trouble seeing the niche they're after here. If they're after hardcore gamers...most of those people already have full PCs (and play more than Source). Casual gamers already have PS3/360. Maybe a midway between the two? But how big is that market?

If they really wanna do this, they should just go full-in and make complete gaming PCs like Alienware or Dell XPS, not just proprietary quasi-consoles. Make something that one can use for their everyday lives, as well as gaming (ALL PC games, not just Source).

PC games have two edges:
- Graphics quality
- Freedom/modibility

This might supply the first, but I doubt it will supply the second, and that's a major turnoff.

it's a new wifi toaster!

They're satisfying the legions of gaben fanboys who will buy anything with the valve logo on it.

Except HL2:E3, apparently.

Yes, I'm bitter about that.

I think Gaben just likes to do his little foot to foot troll dance too much to release the game.
