Speaking to Kotaku at the 2012 Video Game Awards this weekend, Gabe Newell confirmed that Valve is working on a living room-friendly PC that runs Steam. Newell says that reception for Steam’s new, TV-oriented Big Picture mode has been “stronger than expected,” and the company will now work to get Steam for Linux out of beta.

Cool, so Steam box will be a console which is also a PC, so finally there would be a console with a good web browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera on the desktops, and the console can run desktop programs like Office programs and Photoshop when you are not gaming on it.
