Valve announces Big Pictures, a new delivery system for Steam

Part OnLive to the challenge? Valve has announced a new feature planned for Steam, which will materialize in the near term with terms to be determined. The system is called Big Pictures and navigation and supports designed for use on a TV with a controller. There are actually many details about it, except this futuristic representation of Steam used on TV with a controller.

Seen in this light, seems to be the answer to Valve and OnLive Gaikai, or a gaming system that allows cloud to play remotely, through direct streaming of data from the server and input from the controller. It is probably the "great revelation" planned for the Valve GDC, then surely we will know more later in the week.
