I think they have missed the point. If this code exists in the SteamOS as well, then this makes perfect sense. You wouldn't have native itunes or netflix apps. Its the same thing that the Playstation and Xbox OS have. I always assumed this would happen. SteamOS/Big picture mode looks great already, but at the moment its very limited. Here are your games/here are more games to buy/here are your friends/basic web browser. Adding media features is an obvious move.

Meh, Ill stick to Sickrage (sickbeard fork) for tv shows and the other stuff I don't doo much.
Sickrage just is the best service available for me for tv shows, it makes sure my tv shows get scrobbled properly and just adding it to my watchlist on trakt makes it download it for me and unlike netflix and the like its just a few hours after release and not restricted to who made it. It just works.

Half Life 3(or EP 3) please.
If steam can have sales on Music/Moves/TV. This CAN be good, but I am almost sure price fixing will prevent this.
I personally have no interest in the marketplace / trading cards either, but steam is far from the only thing that has this kind of thing. At least I can sell the trading cards

Having a home theater PC is amazing. Got 2x 580 GTXs in the system so it's a gaming beast, a few HDD for movies/music downloading, set up on a 1080p DLP projector projecting onto a 120" screen, and I can also web browse and watch youtube from the comfort of my couch.
I could totally see SteamOS being a very great addition to many people's livingroom if it was capable of easily doing all of these features (gaming, web browsing, watching downloaded video files, playing music, youtube, etc)
But if it's just a handicapped wanna-be HTPC that can't do half this stuff, then it would be pretty pointless.
