I was thinking HL3 Exclusive to the new Apple TV / Steambox device... but only for a month or two.. then a full pc release. I have an xbox but not an Apple TV.

I was thinking HL3 Exclusive to the new Apple TV / Steambox device... but only for a month or two.. then a full pc release. I have an xbox but not an Apple TV... seems redundant as I'd mostly use the Apple TV for netflix and the Xbox already does that. If Valve releases a steambox, and Apple releases a new Apple TV I'll be in the same place I am now... But if they were the same box? Win.

As a consumer I am fundamentally opposed to exclusive distribution deals. Also, Valve is still primarily a PC gaming company. I neither own nor want any "console" other than my HTPC, desktop PC, and gaming laptop. If Valve ever treats PCs as second class citizens, I doubt I'll be alone in mourning (and protesting) the loss of one of the last great PC gaming giants to the Dark Side. That said, a SteamBox unadulterated by Apple's shiny poison would be cool, as long as PCs get releases on the same day.
