Steam in the Living Room

Last friday Valve published a teaser page on which 3 announcements will be made starting Monday. Here's what we know.

• On the 13th, our lord and savior Gabe Newell announced that there would be news regarding Steam in the living room 'next week'. (Video)
• Seeing the page focuses on bringing Steam to Living Room (SteamBox etc), it seems unlikely there will be any game announcements.
• There will be one announcement per day, with 3 announcements total.
• Going off the page's stylesheets; every announcement day, the picture of the Sun on the TV will change.

Possible announcements

Here's some possible things we think they might announce next week:

• The SteamBox
  • Big Picture has slowly been getting more (hidden) OS control. For example, there are files for a network settings menu.
  • Valve already has their own software repository where they keep and maintain several Debian packages including:
    • BroadCom Wireless drivers
    • A Steam Plymouth theme
    • NVIDIA drivers
    • Package that provides dependencies
    • Steam for Linux client & launcher
    • Steam Auto-updater that applies updates from Valve's repository daily
    • A Bug Reporter that sends bugs to their project tracker (yes, the same one that leaked a while back)
    • A recovery tool & image
    • Wallpapers (1920x1080 transparent, 640x480 Boot Screen?)
    • TL;DR their own version of Ubuntu
• A Steam controller
• Spotify support in Big Picture/Steam. Not really big, but we know it's being worked on
• Built-in streaming from desktop to other devices. Possibly even by Valve. Something like Google's Chromecast or Nvidia's SHIELD
