[QUOTE="Pete, post: 104270, member: 862"] I don't put much faith in steambox. From what it sounds like steambox doesn't actually play games it just streams them from your pc. So basically your just running your computer and this box at the same time using up a bunch of electricity and both devices. And no matter what they do with the steaming it's never ever going to look as smooth as playing the game right on your pc. so far with every streaming device small blocky artifacts (espeshially in low lit black areas) ruin the crispness, and compression is apparent. If you need both a computer and a steambox you might as well just plug your pc into your hdtv and just use that without buying a middle man. no price or actual specs have been mentioned yet but from what ive read it focuses on streaming, which would probably be a nightmare for pinball timing.
