Speaking to a BBC reporter, Valve's Gabe Newell
revealed that the first prototypes of the Steam Box console should be ready for testing within three to four months time.
>i>"We're working with partners trying to nail down how fast we can make it," Mr Newell told the BBC.
"We'll be giving out some prototypes to customers to gauge their reactions, I guess, in the next three to four months.
"There are noise issues and heat issues and being able to [deal with] that while still offering a powerful enough gaming experience is the challenge in building it."
He added that his company had still to finalise how the console's controller would work as it continued to explore the possibility of including sensors to measure the gamers' body states.
