The recent discovery of an "Xbox Support" section on Steam's forums has ignited rumors that Valve's popular digital service may be heading to the Xbox 360 in the near future. The section was buried deep in the boards, but Steam users are experts at digging stuff up. You'd think Valve would know that ... or maybe they did!
Despite the rumors, it's entirely likely that the section could be for Valve's existing Xbox 360 titles. Valve likes Steam to do its own thing, which runs contrary to Microsoft's equally controlling practices, which is why we've never seen the service on an Xbox before. Still, it wouldn't be the first time Microsoft has bent for Valve, so who knows?
In any case, speculation abounds!

Anything else feels like false hope.

We all live in hope, I suppose.
In 2008 I bought HalfLife 1 for $1 and Portal and Bioshock for $5 on Steam. Then I saw the Steam sales and I bought an AMD 5870 video card.
Today I own 350+ games on Steam and am once again a PC gamer. Valve reached into the depths of gaming hell and saved me. Thank you Valve, and long live Steam and your glorious sales!
In the meantime, I look forward to quenching my thirst on the tears of those overspeculators who get shot down after reading far too much into this.
Me too :'(
Well I guess since it isn't a game they don't loose face ....... /sarcasm
Please don't ban jimmyx!! Him and sofik are my favorite forms of morning entertainment.
Support.steampowered.com is not only for Steam support but also for all of Valve's games across all platforms.
