Valve released a brochure full of pictures of funny little boxes and specs during the CES 2014. A total of fourteen were released. Prices vary from US$499.00 up to US$6000.00, which is rather hefty. Some of these router-like looking boxes come with a standard build while a few others can be customized. - See more at: http://themodernmage.com/st...

Some of these are quite reasonably priced. Others are... Well... let's just say it'd be easier to just upgrade an older PC and run SteamOS on it.
Absolutely nothing.
Because it has Linux as an operating system which is just flat out bad.
Not able to run DX games means for now it is completely pointless for anybody because every developer is developing for DX.
If this creates a rift in PC gaming were some games are restricted to linux and others restricted to DX it will be disastrous and fracture the PC market.
I am sorry, but they bring nothing to the table whatsoever. They are overpriced PC's (as in I could make similar spec machines for cheaper) in pretty little boxes and as it stands the OS needs some serious work as Einhert alluded to.
It won't be relevant for a while yet, probably not until next gen. It will take a while to bed in much like Steam at its inception but I am not so sure this will be a success on that level. I think Valve have misjudged this a little.
Not split-screen gaming that's for sure.
