From http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...rts-at-USD1000:

UPDATE: Valve has distanced itself from the Xi3 Piston, dubbed an unofficial Steam Box.

It had been believed that Valve had backed the grapefruit-sized computer ahead of the release of its own Steam Box, but this appears to be false. Valve's Doug Lombardi told Eurogamer that Valve had some dealings with Xi3 Corporation, the company behind the Piston, but not any more. "Valve began some exploratory work with Xi3 last year, but currently has no involvement in any product of theirs," he said.

Sense reigns at Valve! Hopefully the real Piston will be a LOT cheaper - otherwise it's less "Piston" and more "Pistake". (imho of course)
