Mark your calendars down, for today is the day where Valve launches the Big Picture mode beta. Just what is Big Picture mode. Well, this is actually a version of Steam that was specially designed to work within the realms of your TV in the living room. Those who have given it a go have nothing but praises for Big Picture, touting some qualities such as it being sleek, intuitive, and groundbreaking.
Of course, it makes perfect sense for Valve not to position nor market "Steam TV" as a video game console replacement, that would just be suicide for a company like them.
