Not really. The setup is complicated and fragile, the hardware is bulky and annoying. Some games can't really work with mouse mapped to analogs. Not everything can be done with just a controller (OS updates, etc.)
It's not great, but a Linux machine with Steam on it could be.
- Shorel 14y agoYou are only giving your opinions. I on the other hand, have done it. As expected, I use the computer more for movies than games (girlfriend demands). The gamepad is actually a very good Media Center controller. The only real issue is passwords. But you don't have to enter them all the time. My point is: having to get up and use a keyboard from time to time doesn't kill the experience of gaming in a computer and a big TV. I want the Steam box because of the possibility of better games and a general MS distrust, not because the actual experience is something totally unmanageable, as some people here try to assume.
