Steam, optimized for the TV and controllers.
  • Typing optimized for controllers

It's pretty much an Xbox Live interface for Steam- makes it simpler if you're playing on a TV and have a gamepad.

The xbox guide button on my wired 360 controller opens it, but steam has to be the foreground app.

The what now? I've got several XBox 360 controllers now and I've never seen or heard of anything even referring to an "xbox guide button".

Oh. Okay. That's more like what I'd have called it. Or power button. Or the make-Windows-Live-extra-annoying button.

There's also some button near the battery pack that doesn't seem to do anything.

Is that what they call that obnoxious shit in GFWL? Least helpful "guide" I've ever encountered.

Using it now and it works great using my wireless 360 receiver and my 360 remote. ☺
