Was there ever an actual statement from Valve on this? All I see is a company called Xi3 showing of their computer, while making some vague remarks about having received an investment from Valve - whatever that means. Not to doubt it, but if this is really "the thing", I'd like to hear some actual conformation.
- nthitz 14y agoHere's some sort of confirmation from a "Valve Official" http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/8/3850952/valve-meeting-with-hardware-and-content-developers-at-ces-piston-one http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/8/3850952/valve-meeting-with-h...
- roc 14y agoThe PRWire article [1] is somewhat vague on that point, but it does clearly claim that Xi3 received funding from Valve, and that Valve would have a unit at their CES booth as well.

- rthomas6 14y agoIt's called a Piston. That's not any sort of confirmation, but it makes it plausible to me that it will be the Steam box.
- alttab 14y agoSo you'd imagine it would be some sort of steam powered piston. Oh, I see what they did there.
- hkmurakami 14y agoAnd "Valve" is the one letting the steam flow into the piston :)
