Ditto. Didn't know they were trying that (tv gui) but sounds perfect for me.
Bring on linux too, been waiting a loooong time.
For me they are a matched pair. I'm not going to connect a windows machine up to my TV. That does mean however I'll probably want to start a whole new Steam account.
At least there are tons of good deals to add the the account regularly!
why would you want a new steam account? surely you'd rather just buy once, and have the games available both on your linux TV box, and your windows with monitor box? (for games that are available under both linux and windows)
Because you can't log into both at the same time. The inconvenience of logging in and out all the time is enough to warrant this, not counting the ability to have people playing both systems at the same time.
Been using big picture mode as part of the Windows and Mac beta. Nice if you have a controller for the games. Will work nice with HTPCs too.

Not so excited about the sale, but I am very excited by big picture mode and steam on linux. Can't wait for that beta to go open so I can put this on my TV.
