Gaming Blend "Killer Technology and MSI recently announced a collaboration of bring Killer's E2200 Ethernet technology to MSI's Gaming Motherboard setup, giving gamers a two birds for one stone sort of deal. During a press pre-briefing, Gaming Blend was given the opportunity to talk with MSI and Killer about their collaboration, as well as any possibilities of making the new hardware more Steam Box-friendly."
It wasn’t hard or expensive to build the Steam Box, more of a case of know-exactly-what-you-are-doin g. Purchasing wrong parts for the build can be costly or even dangerous, but it’s something that can be solved with decent research.
Is PlayStation Neo Sony's answer to the onslaught of console like devices ushered in by Valve?
Thats how I have perceived the direction for Xbox since Spencer discussed it at Build earlier this year. Backward/forward compatibility and more frequent hardware releases spells it out plainly.
Nope. Neo (if it is happening) is just a way for people to watch 4k movies with their PS4, and play VR with a little extra power.
I thought this was well established?
Major videogame brick-and-mortar retailers GAME UK, GameStop, EB Games, and Valve have announced that the stores will be including special "Steam Sections" dedicated to selling Valve's upcoming hardware coming 10th November 2015. The hardware will include the Steam Controller, Steam Link, and Steam Machines. The sections will of course also include a variety of Steam prepaid cards, which most stores already sell.
I imagine the Vive will eventually be on the shelf? Its already into October and still no release date, preorders, or price. Valve/HTC better have a good strategy in place.
Well MSI and killer are both reliable companies as far as PC gaming. I could very well see a good prediction or even product from them that i would trust.
"Steam-box" is not a single piece of hardware its more of a goal or venture that will take years.
Valve is not releasing a console. Part of their overall plan is to have a "console-like" PC for the living room. Pushing Linux is another part and so is streaming games from a powerful PC anywhere in your home.
Valve is trying to move PC gaming in a different direction. They are NOT creating a single closed system that will directly compete with consoles.
