Lucky! Enjoy!
You only say that because it's not your fleshy buttcheeks at stake.
Haven't even played Dawnguard but Dragonborn is the far more substantial DLC with an entire new landmass and all.
Totally worth $5.

Is it going to be bootable from the USB drive or you need something else?

Uplay updated so I can hide all the non-Steam-related duplicates on the off chance I open the actual program!

Wait why is Dino D Day getting a free weekend
The Awesomenauts: Starstorm expansion is up for $8.99. Early access, so only 1 of 5 characters and custom games available just now.
We all waited for ability not to play it. Isn't it obvious?
Because its too soon for a Cod Ghosts free weekend. Im glad ghosts isnt having it so soon because im on the road and my lappy pappy cannot handle its shittiness of a port.
Hunted the demon forge is also part of the amazon sale, 50% off! What a bargain!

They would need to supply a SteamOS version for ARM and then I am not entirely sure that the RPi would be fast enough.
The raspberry pi does have a beefy GPU (it allows for H.264 decode at 1080p in real time), but the GPU drivers are not Open Source. Also, one would need to port the SteamOS things to the ARM architecture.
Technically, I don't see why wouldn't it be possible, but if I had to guess, somebody would have to do some work to get it going.
£4.99 for something that apparently is worth over £50? Hmmmmm maybe.

You know what. I got it in a bundle so while I'm at it, I'm going to install it now that there might be another player. Installing Call of Juarez: The Cartel too in a few days
Yes I'm a masochist - but gotta clear that backlog
Not just the OS. What's the point of SteamOS without games?
(If you just need it for streaming games to, there are other options out there already)
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I have a feeling Sleeping Dogs will be one of the games.
aww.... that's so tempting and it'll probably b e games I already have several times over, but so tempting
I'm going with Sleepydogs, DX:HR vanilla, Hitman Absoblublublublub and something (maybe TR2013).
Of course, it could also be Just Cause 2, OG DX, Dungeon Siege 3 and Kane & Lynch 2.

I think FF7 could be one of these too. You know what I'm going to buy that one now.
He specifically said "for streaming", and the Raspberry Pi wouldn't be strong enough to do anything other than Video Streaming and Controller Input redirection.
The GPU on the Pi would allow for 1080p 30fps decoding in real time, so it would work for a streaming device. Things would just need to be coded for it.
Follow up question: do the other solutions for this issue cost 25 dollars? Because the Raspberry Pi does.
Well it does mention this.
Plus there's some recommended system specs there as well. So you can rule out stuff that isn't available on Steam and above the specs.
Hitman Absolution, Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider et all will be likely candidates.
Fuck, Morrowind goty at $5 finally.
We're talking about Hardware, not software. We need some sort of box below our TV to be able to Stream games. The raspberry Pi is a 25 dollar box that, technically, could be able to do it.
I don't see how free software fixes that issue.
How come only Dragonborn is 75% off? Why not the other dlcs too?

No, I was talking about the fact they probably wouldn't bother to build an ARM version of SteamOS, since it's also/mostly meant for playing games and the games are almost all x86 based, hence offering existing *nix solutions for streaming to the Pi =p

Because that would make sense.

Any list of S-E games on Steam?
It's really long list, because of Eidos games mostly

If they want to get on mobile, then ARM builds will come.

Restart Steam to get the Velocity Ultra vouchers. Valid until February and stacks.
Eventually, maybe, but that doesn't help him in the short run =p
On the other hand, look at what they have(n't) done with their android/iOS clients. It might never happen.

Valve is trolling
Also I checked the diff between Oblivion GoTY and GoTY Deluxe... I thought GoTY already has all DLC. What's so special about Deluxe?

Pretty tempted. Even with the lower tier games, you still get your £5 worth. But I can see myself having at least 2 of the included games, due to nearly all their games having frequent sales.
I did this and got 2 of them. Will check out the game, but probably another one of the many vouchers that I end up not using. At least the expiry date is reasonable.

I think it will be Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman absolution and Tomb Raider and the guardian of light.

Ahh so GoTY in Amazon only has K9 and SI... weird, might as well just buy in Steam where the GoTY is complete.
