    Can’t wait for a tutorial on how to install steam OS on this. Seeing Microsoft try and compete with Steam on hardware price, means this either needs to be fantastic hardware, or a new user experience that’s better than the steam OS experience.
    Their only in to the sector is either some exclusive bullshit that can’t happen on steam os, or better hardware that is actually worth significantly more than their asking price.

    Unless they have some actually decent OS release up their sleeve…

      Bold of you to assume that Microsoft is capable of innovation in a positive way.

      Got my pal’s old Xbox one for a £40 piece of hash, played around with it for 2 days and haven’t touched it since. I’ll wait til it’s been jailbroken and play a bit more then…

    Two wrongs don’t make a right.

    So this is going to be a laggy, ad filled, buggy mess?
