First Steam Box Unboxing Videos Appear Online
Valve's Steam Box living room video game machines are out in the wild to lucky beta testers, and the unboxing videos are beginning to appear online.
You can see one of the first ones below from YouTube user Corey Nelson. The video shows off the very cool shipping boxes that the Steam Boxes are being delivered in, as well as what's included in the box, like the prototype controller.
Earlier this year, Valve unveiled its controller and the SteamOS, pushing forward its long stated goal of bringing PC gaming into the living room.

Our Take
After so much rumor and speculation surrounding Valve's Steam Box over the last few years, it's nice to see these things in the wild as tangible objects. I'm excited to see how the machine will shake up the video game industry when it finally makes it way into the hands of all consumers and not just beta testers.
