Why a mandatory install, cos all PS3's have a hard drive as standard(so DEVS use hardware given).

I say STEAM BOX seems pretty pointless(NICHE Market), as it's in direct competition with PC's. Most that want steam will have gone the PC route already. Seems a bit late to expect gamers to buy a STEAM BOX(Risky move for VALVE).
