You 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.
