Gabe Newell Reveals More About Steam Boxes, New Input Devices 218
adeelarshad82 writes "Valve's presence at CES this year isn't to show off some new games, it's all about meeting with hardware manufacturers behind closed doors to talk about Steam Box. In an interview at CES which highlights Valve's plans for the console, Gabe Newell describes Steam Box as two projects. The first, codenamed Bigfoot, focuses on the hardware for use in the home with a TV. The second, codenamed Littlefoot, is investigating mobile gaming. Gabe goes on to discuss Valve plans on having three levels of Steam Box described as 'Good, Better, or Best' and expectations for the controller where the company wants something that's more high precision than anything else out there at the moment."
The interview at the Verge is pretty extensive.

Valve, please, make a "companion cube"-styled Steam Box and take all our monies
Signed, the Internets

Hopefully Ep3 will be worth the weight.
So if it's distributed digitally, it'll be worthless?

A keyboard has no precision at all, it's either 1 or 0.
Dude. You need a new keyboard. Morse clickers went out a long time ago.
My keyboard has what - about 40 keys? And I know I can do combinations of at least 3 keys at once - but I don't know the full limit. Let's say it's 3, and any 3 at that.
That means my keyboard is capable of about 40^3 combinations. Hey - that looks like 64,000, which is closer to 2^16 than it is to 2^1.
Funny you mention 3 :)
3 just happens to be the number Valve is missing from all their keyboards.
