Will be giving this one a shot, with having the Gigabyte SkyVision its ideal for my home setup.
Being able to launch games with the gamepad and easier to see icons it fits nicely with the PC in a front room which is happening more and more.
Sounds like a Metro app to me ... I thought Steam didn't approve of Metro ;) Perhaps Windows 8 isn't such a bad thing after all?
Nothing wrong with hooking the PC up to a big TV for some gaming.
So long as it's not an RTS; that be a recipe for disaster :/
I would love to have all my media in one room but my TV is just not up to the task for playing PC games at the moment. I would love to have my water cooled Windows 8 media centre to my living your even an older version and have my pc games and everything else hooked up. Have as PVR, Movies and shows, PC games, Skype and telephone calls, put a fridge and toilet right there and never leave. What a dream. what a smelly dream.
As anyone with a 50-80" TV knows messing with Steam can be fiddly at high res on a massive screen with a mouse and KB when you sit six foot+ away. So 'BP' mode is a great idea as some games work best on a massive screen and play great with a console controller and many suit your mainly smaller PC screen and Win7. Hopefully some thought has been given to all of steam not just choosing which game (so Screen shot manager etc) to be more useful on a TV. BP mode will probably also suit touch screen tablets.
The overlay web browser do crash a lot (every time, rather). I hope they fix it soon, since it is quite useful.
