Steam Coming To Televisions

Today Valve announced a "big picture" mode for Steam. This mode will allow players to use Steam and all associated games on their television.

"Our partners and customers have asked us to make Steam available in more places. With the introduction of Steam on the Mac, and soon in Portal 2 on the PS3, we've done just that," said Valve's Doug Lombardi in the press release. "With big picture mode, gaming opportunities for Steam partners and customers become possible via PCs and Macs on any TV or computer display in the house."

Valve plans to reveal more details on big picture mode in meetings with developers and publishers this week at GDC. Hopefully some of that sweet, sweet information will trickle down to the rest of us.
