I'm still not a big fan of this feature. IIRC the Wii did the same thing. It shut off but stayed in some sort of "Standby" mode. I didn't like it and that thing didn't suck up my internet connection. Hopefully this feature is optional.


Has anybody heard anything lately about the Steambox? I hear there will also be a new handheld thing from Nvidia.
