this rasberry pi has an h.264 decoder... How can we make ghetto gamestreaming guys!!! Maybe with steam in home streaming or something I want to do it lol! make my own tiny streaming box.

It's pretty easy: install ubuntu, install steam to ubuntu, use steam in-home streaming. Done

Look's like it's already been done.

Unless your steaming @ 720p there's going to be some serious lag, an ODROID-U3 would be a MUCH better choice but even then steam is still x86 so you'd need a board with a Intel J1800 but even then i'd be slow.

Steam client is x86 based and the Pi is ARM so if you can find a ARM steam client then yeah but otherwise nahhh

added to that Steam is completely closed source! and not in a lifetime is Valve going to change there mind about that... I mean what games are actually programmed to run on the ARM chipset? especially ARMv6 a bit outdated... Running Quake 3 is probably its max - I havent seen anything more challenging graphics wise for the Raspberry Pi?
